Well, I thought it was only tough to find land to hunt in Northern Jersey. I thought down your way maybe it was better.... guess I was wrong.
I have been here near Morristown for 3 years now... and man do I miss PA. The little bit of public land is so stomped on by hunters it makes me sick. Every time out.... I am in my tree by 2:00 and all seetled in... the about 45 minutes before dark.... prime time... here comes some guy.... rushing into the woods right past me... or worse.... a couple guys... and there goes the magic last hour before dark.... down the old crapper.
I have been trying to find private land also... but most people around here are not only non hunters they are anti-hunting. They all get this look like you are a barbarian if you ask them for permission to hunt their land.
Next season I will still unt near here when I can.... but I am absolutely going back to Pa to hunt also.
Good luck
