Thanks guys, Im going to compile it from here and other sources. I will give it some time and then I will sort it all out and try and figure out what the majority of hunters want.

Then I will sit down and try and write up some proposals.

Thanks again for your time, and encourage other NJ hunters to come to this site, not only to take my survey, but because this is by far the best NJ hunting site on the web.

Great day all---Matt

Thanks for your time guys and gals!

Im currently working on a plan that incorporates the majority of these decisions.

I will post it when Im finished.

Have a good one---Matt

 

[Dragthor]

Are you gonna send the results to NJ F&G?

 

[Matty]

I dont know yet.....more than likely I will write up a proposal, show that to all of you for another vote of sorts, to gain approval, and then list the statistics in the proposal I send to them.

Unfortunately I jumped the gun on the first proposal, because I thought it was pretty widely accepted. I liked it anyways

So that already went to the division. I contacted Paul Tarlowe though, and asked him to hold off from passing it on.

Their only proposals, and anyone who wants to can write one up.

Im just trying to find one that pleases the majority.

Have a great day Kris, and thanks for this site and all that you do.
