I'm in the early stages of planning to hunt in NJ for the first time ever and could use some help with understanding the regulations in regards to the different bow seasons.
As of this moment, I decided I will focus my hunting efforts in zones two, three and six. Feel free to offer ideas on locations, whether to stay away from certain areas or focus my efforts at others. I don't want your honeyhole location but an area or two that you've seen or is known to have many deer would be a big help.
My understanding is I will need to buy the Fall Bow license and the Permit Bow license. Now for the questions...
1. Do I need to purchase a Permit Bow license for each zone I want to hunt in during the permit bow season?
2. In order to take a buck during the Permit Bow season I need to buy a Buck permit. This permit would allow me to take a buck in any zone I hunt and is only valid during the Permit Bow season or can it also be used during the Winter Bow season?
3 As far as bag limits, if Fall Bow season allows 5 doe and I do harvest that many, when Permit Bow season rolls in does that allow me to take another 5 doe?
4. Is Winter Bow included with the Fall Bow license or is it a separate purchase?
NJ is the first state that I've encountered that has this type of permit system so forgive me if these questions seem silly. I'd rather ask the silly questions now instead of answering silly questions from game warden later.
