Hey guys, how about you provide your input on the deer hunting at the Federation meetings? The Monmouth Federation meets every third Thursday 8pm at the Freehold
Fur Feather club house. Give your input, we run an informal meeting any any input is welcome. We have input from various clubs, ones that have been around a long time, and clubs that are newer. We also have some individual members that are not part of any hunting club. We need more independant voices. I can tell you honestly that there has been NO discussion of QDM at our meetings. Everyone is happy just to get a chance at getting some deer.
We have representatives from the following clubs, so if your club is not represented,
PLEASE PLEASE attend, even for a little while!
Freehold Fur Fin and Feather
Turkey Swamp Rod and Gun
South Orange Rod & Gun

I'm the Secretary of the Monmouth Federation, and the executive members are looking for more people to attend our meetings, not to shake you down for money, but to provide input and to help spread the word about issues affecting us in the Monmouth County area.

The problem with Fish and Game is the "Gun hunters" have the majority of the vote the gun clubs and the federation are verry strong and lobby mostly toward Gun hunting not realizing that we are all hunters and what we do as bow hunters and gun hunters needs to be on the same page. QDM is good but you watch, it won't count for 6 day gun season. Example: Earn a buck and 1 buck per season dot apply to 6 day firearm season. I hunt all deer seasons and It needs to be the same for all or it wont work. As for earn a buck half of the deer checked in are Buttons so what good is that. Just tell us we can shoot 2 bucks per year period and 1 should fit the QDM standards with the proper amount of does also that way the gun clubs and everyone can enjoy it now and for years to come.
