I just recently moved to New Jersey. I live off exit 12 on I-78 and was wondering what zone I am in for deer season. Also all what I have to do to get my NJ hunting license and how to register my guns in the state I got my last years license from Connecticut and I dont have a NJ drivers license yet but I have proof of residency. I will need to get all this sorted out in a couple weeks or so. Any info would be highly appriciated. Brad

You have to have been a resident for six months, before you can get a license. Your license from another state, I believe is good, or you'll have to take a safety course. I'm not familiar with what zone your in. I believe you don't have to register your guns, but I'd check that out, with your local P.D. Check withy them also, about applying for you NJ FID card. Good Luck. __________________ Retired power lineman Hunter since 62 "Try to live up to your dog's opinion of you!"

If you are located on the southern side of rt 78 you are in deer zone 10 is you are on the northern side it is deer zone 7. Both zones fall under regulation set #8. good luck in the up coming season i hunt zone 10 myself all private property though. __________________ ..._...\|..___________________ ....../ `---___________----_____\|] = = = D ...../_==o;;;;;;;;_______.:/ .....), ---.(_(__) / ....// (..) ), ----" ...//___// ..//___// .//___//

i think zone 8 for deer but no completely sure sounds like you're close to clinton wma and the northern region office and shooting ranges __________________ "The man who does not like to see, hunt, photograph, or otherwise outwit birds or animals is hardly normal.

call the Northern F&G office for hunting lic info & the state police about your guns to get the "correct information". All you will get here is opinions mixed with the information. it's always better to go to the office that regulate the activity. __________________ http://rwrgamecalls.com/

Ever. __________________ "To be unarmed and therefore helpless in the face of evil is irresponsible and in fact complicit to said evil.

Go to a local sporting goods store, one that specialises in Hunting and fishing will be the best. There you will need to pick up a compendium which will have all the zones, rules and regs. You should also be able to pick up the DVD and test book to take you test for a license. I think if you have a license in another state you may not have to take a test but you may want to double check that to be sure. Good luck and welcome to the crappy state of NJ __________________ Member UBNJ Weapons of Choice Bow - PSE FireStorm Lite Shotgun - Remington 1187 Future owner of a T/C Encore Need to find time to HUNT ------> PRO STAFFER

Your out of state hunting license will satisfy the hunting education requirement in NJ, as long as the license indicates you were a resident hunter in your former state. Simply take the out of state license, and proof of NJ residency to your local sport shop, and they should issue you an NJ resident license with no hassel. You may have a problem where the license is not weapon specific. I know in Florida, they simply issue you a hunting license, and the type of weapon you use is up to you-(you simply purchase a weapon specific stamp for another $5.00 per weapon type). So getting a New Jersey archery or muzzleloader license with a foreign license that is not weapon specific may present problems-and frankly, whether they give you the license is at the discretion of the guy behind the counter. __________________ Support the N.J.O.A. and the "Littel Amendment" An amendment to the New Jersey State Constitution that Guarantees the right to hunt, trap, and fish in New JerseyNew Jersey Outdoor Alliance
