Thank you !
Most people over-look NJ when it comes to hunting. This State is great and was even better, for all hunting. We do great for Geese, fishing is really good(especially off-shore), we have the largest black bears on the East Coast(no bear season this year, though), Duck and other waterfoul hunting is still really good in areas.
However, as the State gets more and more built up and wildlife/nature is disregarded in favor of homes and snobby yuppies, the hunting will go downhill. The privately owned farm areas are the popular places to be, although thescuddlebutt amongst the farmers is that they are kicking out all hunting clubs(good for me, I hunt privatefarms, no $$ down)So, we make the best of it while it lasts !!
Ant,
Why are they talking about kicking out the clubs? Are they having problems with them? Honestly, I hope they do because I'm just like you, just a guy who hunts private land where I can get it and public land away from the crowds.
I hope that trickles down to PA too, because around here hunting clubs are a farse. They lull landowners into a false sense of security so they can control all of the private land in the area. Then they treat the property they have like it's their own. I knew a landowner that gave me permission to hunt their property because they knew me and they also had a club on their property. The club members tried to run me off and even called the police on me. After the dust settled, they lost permission on that property because of their behavior. Believe me, this was one of the more well behaved clubs. I've heard some stories that make me feel lucky to have left the woods on my own two feet that night.
