Jersey Jim's Rabbit Hunting Party

Dragthor · Feb 12, 2005

Hey Jim, I might be interested in rabbit hunting with you next weekend.

Dragthor · Feb 12, 2005

I guess I need to bring my 2005 All Around Sportsmen license.

JerseyJim · Feb 12, 2005

Cool! I hunted this spot in Nov. with my old man but it was so over grown that we couldn't get much shooting in. With a few more guy's and some of the thick stuff knocked down from the snow we should be able to get some bunnies out of there! Let me know if you want to go! I think I have one other guy so far.

Dragthor · Feb 13, 2005

Are you bringing dogs? Also, I think I am going with you Saturday morning.

JerseyJim · Feb 13, 2005

No dogs...Just me...I'll get them out of the thicket! Nothing wrong with losing some blood a good rabbit hunt! LOL

Dragthor · Feb 13, 2005

What are your plans? Location? Time?

JerseyJim · Feb 13, 2005

I was thinking we can meet in the Ramsey Outdoors parking lot on Rt 46 in Ledgewood. Say at 7:00. The spot is right near there.

Dragthor · Feb 13, 2005

Public or private land? What size shot should I use with my 12 guage? Will 7 1/2 be okay? (I have a ton of 7 1/2 shot shells).

JerseyJim · Feb 13, 2005

It's public but not many people know about it. I'm using what ever I have left over. 6's and 7 1/2s

Dragthor · Feb 13, 2005

Okay. I am 90% sure that I can hunt with you at least until noon.

Note: I do NOT have those leather front pants... so I will just be in normal pants.

JerseyJim · Feb 13, 2005

I might have an extra pair of chaps that go on over your regular pants. There held up by your belt. I'll bring them if I can find them! Some of this cover is down right NASTY! There are some open area's to walk if you don't want to bleed! LOL!

jersey jim is this the south branch of the raritan river??? that is public land and is really thick with lots of bunnies. i wont be able to go but just wonderin if that is the land.

JerseyJim · Feb 13, 2005

I'm not sure what the land is called. It's state or town land that we are allowed to hunt. It's right by Mill pond. I've been hunting it for years but the guy's I used to hunt with moved or don't get out much any more so I figured it's time to let my secret spot be known! It's too thick to hunt alone and my old man doesn't get too many days off of work and he's not into the real tough walking anymore so we usually go somewhere else. No sense in letting this spot go to waste!

Dragthor · Feb 13, 2005

I'm in. And I will keep it hush hush.

Dragthor · Feb 15, 2005

Looks like we can shoot: crow, grouse, pheasant, bunnies, and squirrels on Saturday.

I do not have a Pheasant/Quail stamp. We'll be in pheasant zone 2, right?

JerseyJim · Feb 15, 2005

I don't have a pheasant stamp either. It's a go on all the others you mentioned!

Dragthor · Feb 15, 2005

I am pretty sure we can shoot a cockbird if we see one without a pheasant stamp (since we won't be on a stocked area).

JerseyJim · Feb 16, 2005

There used to be a club behind this piece and we would see quite a few birds but there's houses there now and I've only seen one pheasant since they were built. I'm pretty sure we will see our share of bunnies though!

JerseyJim · Feb 17, 2005

Saturday is coming fast! Any of you new guy's want to go?
