Shotgun during the winter bow season
 

I must be out of my mind. How can I be sitting in a tree with a bow when I have guys on the next property pounding with 12ga. shotguns? The deer I saw tonight were so scared, I kinda felt sorry for them. Its gonna be tough drawing on deer that are this wired. Oh well, NJ wants deer killed, well I guess their getting their wish.

My father has property in in zone 51, around 500 acres the guy next to him has about 25 acres. On the 25 acres they killed over 60 deer in 2 years between 2 guys they give them away to anyone they just like killing deer. Its a shame that NJ is doing this there were no deer at all on my dads property this year and it usually full of deer. Pretty much ruined it for hunting this year.

Sounds like you need to create some escape cover on your 500. Someplace the deer can get to when the neighbors start pounding away with the shotguns. Then you'll have your pick when the guns start goin off <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

I was hunting a new spot about 1/2 mile from Assunpink. 11 baldies came running in after a bunch of shots from an adjoining property.

BTBowhunter I am talking about taking a 40 deer per square mile area and turning it into a 10 deer per square mile over the last 2 years. I dont care to take part in deer pounding.

I think you'll know when the white one gets it. You won't believe how many different places I've heard about the big 10 they got gun season. Did you hear of anyone killing two 10pts. on the second day of gun somewhere off 537, somewhere near the camp? I saw a picture of the deer, they were beautiful, but I'm not convinced they were taken around here. I just got that feeling when the guy showed me the pics and said they were taken right around the corner.

I feel for anyone trying to bowhunt now. Is the state intent on ruining the deer hunting experience in NJ? We have guys shooting as many deer as possible in ZOne 2 and then giving them away as well. One guy has already shot 2 buttons and we are about ready to toss him from the club!

Did I mention that we tried doing our own QDM in ZOne 2 but some guys just couldnt deal with it? THese were guys that are between 50 and 60 yrs of age that have probably killed 50 deer a piece! That's the mentality and this is what the state is dishing up for those hunters.
