I think that if you ask most Jersey hunters, they would agree that the overall quality of the hunt has decreased over the last 10 years due to a combination of development and increased regulations. I think that the the extended Permit season is the single greatest factor besides development that has hurt the quality of deer hunting in my Zone. We have people shooting does/buttons/shed bucks all thru Jan in ZOne 2. Guess what, the following year there are less deer and of course less quality bucks around.

Before I keep going, I just wish the state would review the never ending permit season and try to model our season around succesful shotgun states such as ILL.

Enough said. Let' s get hunting this Fall!!!
