In Jersey it has different season dates and bag limits in different zones.
Zones allow 1 buck for fall bow, 1 bonus buck bow permit, 1 buck on permit muzzleloader, 2 bucks in six day shotgun, 1 bonus buck on permit shotgun, and 1 buck in winter bow. ( 7 total ).
Some zones( like mine ) you can take unlimited amount of does, most others are one per season/permit ( 5 total ).
They say Jersey is has tons & tons of deer, But I feel we should go down to 1 or two bucks for the entire year and take some more does. As of now, we can take more bucks then does, combine that with ( in my area ) hunting clubs that do club drives and shoot anything that is legal ( 3" minimum on one side ).
They have been massicaring deer like this for years and 95% of the bucks are 1-2 years old, it is very, very hard to see a buck 2 1/2 +.
I took a 10 pointer and 5 does last year.
So, I feel the 1-2 bucks a year like many other states will produce many mature bucks for Jersey.
But what do I know, I only see what's in the woods.
