RE: NEW JERSEY- lets change some things!
All very legitmate questions. I wish I had good answers for them, but I don' t. The way NJ hunters continue to overpay for our sport is mind boggling, but we just keep bending over and over again.
One of the most outrageous things the division did to us is shorten Fall Bow and lengthening Permit bow thereby forcing NJ hunters to buy additional deer permits if we wish to hunt during the rut.
Another good one... Turkey season
Lets do the math if you want to hunt for a full month
week a 21.00
week b 21.00
week c 2100
week d 21.00
To hunt friggin Saturdays!! 21.00
Resident Firearm Liscense 27.50
Grand Total .................$132.50
Now lets compare that to NY
Non-Resident Hunting 55.00
Non-Resident Turkey Permit 30.00
Grand Total......................$85.00
and that' s for a full month of turkey hunting including Sundays!!!!
So how is it that as a NJ resident I can hunt more cheaply as a non-resident in NY than I can right here at home.
Why do we continue to get so raped with fees in this state, I would really love to know.
