I moved out of N.J back in '97 and still go back to bowhunt and gun hunt every year. I just can't walk away from the property i've been hunting for 38 years no matter how much it costs in license and permit fees, but it is getting very expensive. $135 apiece for a bow and firearm license, $28 for an extended archery permit and $28 for a buck permit, $28 for a muzzleloader permit and another $28 for a buck permit, for a grand total of $382. I must be crazy! Thank God I don't have to pay for the property I hunt on.

I'll most likely keep going back until my parents are no longer living. I stay at their house...and litterally hunt right behind the house on about 100 acres...so I am able to hunt and also visit my folks at the same time. My Dad is 80 years old and still goes out buck week. Mom used to hunt, but gave it up 2 years ago.
