"baiting is allowed in all private property and is illegal only in small portions of WMA's in jersey. and the last few years here you can't hardlypattern deer because of the winters"

Also all Federal lands there is NO BAITING ALLOWED, I must say to pattern deer is easy, if you take the time out to apply yourself, more bait you put out the easier it becomes to pattern deer. The last few winters here in NJ has had no negative affect on he deer herd, but what did is the liberal seasons and harvests the state allows.......Unlimited harvest of antlerless deer, this includes button bucks which are your future stock of rack bucks. I'm not sure where you hunt, but the deer in my area don't grow antlers if they are dead. Let the little ones walk, take 2 or 3 does out per year, let the rest walk, THINK OF THE FUTURE
