Does anyone know when it starts? It will be my first Nj season.

Contact your dnr.

i dont know there are some fellas on here from massachustets, and they make it sound like they are already hunting deer in this hot weather.

NJ is split into 50-60 different zones that have different regs per zone. I dont mean that there are 50 different set of rules. There are usually about 5-6 different sets of regs they put the zones into. The bow season should start in some zones 9/4. Most will be antlerless though. The main bow season for all zones should come in 9/25.

The finalized regs should be out in the next couple weeks. Keep an eye on the fish and game website.

It will either be 9/11 or 10/2 depending on what Zone you are hunting.
Here's a Link to find the regulation sets for your zone.

Good luck & happy hunting!!
