WELL IN ZONE#4 THE DEER NUMBERS PER SQUARE MILE ARE ALWAYS LOWER THEN OTHER PARTS OF STATE, EVEN IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF THE 1980' S, AND EARLY 1990' S. ALSO " NJFG&W" ALWAYS HAD A LIMITED HARVEST FOR EACH SEASON, FOR EXAMPLE:

FALL BOW: 1 BUCK ONLY, REST OF THE STATE WAS 2 DEER EITHER SEX

PERMIT BOW: 2 DEER EITHER SEX, REST OF THE STATE 2 DEER EITHER SEX OR UNLIMITED ANTLERLESS DEER

MUZZLELOADER: 2 DEER EITHER SEX, WITH LIMITED DAYS, REST OF THE STATE 2 DEER EITHER SEX, WITH PLENTY OF DAYS TO HUNT

SHOTGUN SEASON: SAME AS THE REST OF THE STATE 2 BUCKS

PERMIT SHOTGUN: 1 DEER EITHER SEX, 1 DAY HUNT, REST OF THE STATE 2 DEER EITHER SEX, OR UNLIMITED ANTLERLESS DEER, WITH MORE THEN PLENTY OF DAYS TO HUNT, INCLUDING HUNTS TILL MID FEBUARY

WINTER BOW: 2 DEER EITHER SEX ENDED ON JANUARY 31, REST OF STATE THE SAME

ZONE#4 NEVER HAD MORE THEN 1 DAY PERMIT SHOTGUN, NEVER HAD DEER SEASON PAST JANUARY 31, WITH THIS LIMITED AMOUNT OF HUNTING COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE STATE, I SHOULD STILL BE SEEING THE NUMBER OF DEER I SEEN FROM 1997 THRU 2000 WHICH WOULD BE AN AVERGE OF 25 DEER PER DAY. FROM 2001 THRU THE PRESENT I AVERGE 3 DEER PER DAY, MAKES NO SENSE TO ME, JUST THINK " NJFG&W" HAVE NO REAL CLUE AS FAR AS THE NUMBER OF DEER WITHIN THE STATE OR WITHIN THE DEER ZONES, ITS TIME TO GO BACK TO THE OLD HARVEST/SEASON WE HAD, OR MAYBE MAP OUT NEW ZONES.
