There are some massive public hunting areas in Central and South Jersey. As was mentioned, hunting clubs pound ' em during the gun season but the archery season is cool. The big bucks get wise fast and make it through. Private land is a bitch; costly or just not available. Many municipalities are opening areas to public hunting for population control, i.e. Montgomery and Hopewell townships. Check with NJ Div. of Fish and Game; they are surprisingly helpful. Oh, the Sportsmen' s Center does rock. Whitetail Jamboree is this weekend, 08/09 +10.
