Good luck this week! Hunt smart...Hunt safe! I hope to be on here bragging about the big 8 point I've been seeing! LOL! Let us know how you've made out! ...Good luck again....Jim

good luck to ya guys

It'll be a rainy open for Buck. I suspect a low kill for this critcal opening day of buck. That okay with me. I don't spend much time in the woods this week. Too many soldiers from the orange army. Too many amatuers. I'll hunt until 9:00 tomorrow and bail until Wednesday. If it is too crappy, I'll bail on the whole day and go make some money.

I hunt from Oct to the end of Jan. NJ is one of the best kept secrets in the country. I have never gone without meat and can be picky ans I want once my freezer has meat (which it does from bow season). Where else can you catch a 40 pound striper and kill deer in the same day?

I prefer Bow and Muzzlerloader to all other seasons. Less orange soldiers. Just me (and probably you serious guys) and the deer.

Good luck to all - please stay safe. It is 9:00pm - do you know where your next deer is?

I'm leaving in 15

It's 3:56am and I'm just about out the door! Good luck again guy's!

What a beautiful opening morning! up my tree by 6:20. Calm, warm, comfortable. I just didn't see a darn thing! Too bad I had to go to work at 10:00. Oh well, let the orange army cover for me. I'll go again Wednesday after the rain, but I'm really looking forward to takin' my new smoke pole for a walk next week![:@][]

The day started off nice but what a mess later. Cold and wet! even worse I didn't see the big 8 point! LOL! I did see a 1 point but let him slide! He couldn't have weighed more then 50lbs. That was all the antler I saw all day! Heard quite a bit of shooting in the morning but not much at all after noon. I can't wait till this rain is gone! How did the rest of you guy's make out?

i had 3 small bucks come in at 8am. I took a 4 point about 120 lbs. I let the 6 and spike go. The six went right to my buddy and he took that one. It was over by 8:30. I finally got some meat in the freezer and now i can wait on mr. big. I went out in the afternoon and saw nothing. It was quiet this morning in zone 8. it seemed like there was more shooting in the afternoon.

had an appt in the morning didnt get in the woods till around 1pm ....sat till dark & didnt see a damn thing. Better hurry , orange army's out on Wed.

Just returned... I did not shoot anything. I stuck it out...dark to dark. I'll post my sightings (and not sightings) tomorrow... sleepy.
