WE ALL AGREE THAT "NJFG" HAS GONE TO FAR WITH THE ANTLERESS, UNLIMITED, AND THE EXTENDED SEASONS, WE ALSO AGREE WE ALL NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO STOP THIS. BUT I BET THAT 95% OF ALL NJ HUNTERS WOULD TAKE ANY DEER THAT WALKS PAST THEM NO MATTER WHAT SEX OR AGE THE DEER IS. FIRST STEP IN DOING SOMETHING IS LETTING CERTAIN DEER WALK. IF YOU KNEW A BIG BUCK WAS IN YOUR AREA WOULD YOU GO AND HARVEST A LITTLE BUCK, OR A ANTLERLESS? I BLAME THE "NJFG", BUT ALSO I BLAME THE HUNTERS, CAUSE "NJFG" IS GREEDY WITH "$$$$$$", WE AS HUNTERS GET GREEDY WITH WANTING TO TAKE ANY DEER, TAKING THE FIRST DEER, OR WHO CAN TAKE THE MOST. IF YOUR FALL UNDER THESE GREEDY CIRCUMSTANCES THEN YOU HAVE NO PLACE TO BE IN THE WOODS, AND YOU CANT BE THAT MUCH IN NEED OF MEAT, BUT IF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE IN NEED THEN YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. FOR MYSELF I STATED IN A POST AWHILE BACK THAT I WOULD DO MY PART, SO FAR IAM. DURING MUZZLELOADER I HAD A DOE WALK 20 YDS FROM ME, I ENJOYED WATCHING HER LET HER WALK. GRANTED I KNOW OF ONE REALLY NICE 8 POINTER, AND DECENT 6 POINTER IN THE AREA I SAW BOTH DUING SHOTGUN (NO SHOT)THAT WAS REASON #2 NOT TO SHOOT, AND TOMORROW IS THE ONLY DEER PERMIT SEASON FOR THIS ZONE, AGAIN I WOULD RATHER GO HOME EMPTY HANDED THEN TO TAKE A DOE. IF THE HERD WAS WERE IT WAS 4 YRS AGO, BY ALL MEANS I WOULD TAKE A DOE ON SHOTGUN PERMIT. GUYS, STOP, LOOK AND SEE WHATS IN THE WOODS, VERY FEW DEER, LET THEM WALK, NEXT YEAR YOU MAY HAVE A NICE RACK WALKING BY YOU.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL OF YOU
