Hey Pickerel. Where about in NJ do you live? When I moved here from PA it was difficult to learn the crazy NJ system and all the crazy permits, paperwork and licensing changes. Now hunting here for my 5th season I have a good handle on it. Let me know where you are located, where you go to school and so on. Maybe I can help you with some of the questions. Do you have a bow yet? Or are you just planning to shot gun hunt? My son is going to graduate college this spring, then next year he will be hunting with me for the first time in a while.
