Well it's not really a road report but I'm watching a single deer feeding in my back yard right now.

 

[JerseyJim]

Make that 2....Both small doe..

 

[mysticguido]

you should post that in your deer zone. can I hang a tree stand on the side of your house?

 

[JerseyJim]

You can just sit up in my son's room at the window! No sense in dealing with the weather.

 

[mysticguido]

how much land do you have?

 

[JerseyJim]

I have an acre but that acre backs up to the Wildcat Ridge WMA! That is over 3,000 acres! I can walk out my back door and hunt!

It's kinda cool! [cool][up]

 

[mysticguido]

so you can hook me up on a spot over there Jim?

 

[JerseyJim]

I'm just learning the land myself but any time you want to take a walk back there let me know! I just got back from a nice 2 hour walk! I found the tracks (10 different sets) all in the same area I found them 2 snow storms ago! Plus I could tell where they crossed after the last snow and no matter where they start or go they come together in a 70 yard across bottle neck! I have a pretty good Idea where I will be setting up next year! This is all in one tiny corner of this big WMA! I know 4 or 5 other spots that are good as well! I saw a red fox today also! The little bugger ran down a hill straight at me then freaked when he saw me and hauled [no swearing please] in the other direction! It was a great walk! [up]

 

[mysticguido]

kool glad you had a good time

Hi, my name is Russ I hunt primarily in are 4. My group has had great sucsess there! As far as deer sightings-if you know where rte.3 is by the Montclair golf course -there are deer sightings there all the time!

 

[Matty]

Welcome to the forums Russ!

Great Place and Great People...stick around. [up]

By the way, I didnt think there were any deer in Montclair!

Just kidding

I used to live in Verona which isnt very far from Montclair, and I used to see some deer on occasion, but nothing like some areas.

Have a good one, and once again, welcome aboard---Matt

 

[JerseyJim]

Welcome to the site Russ! Hope you enjoy it! Tell all your friends. LOL!

Jim, hunted Wildcat my last time out this past bow season. Didnt see any deer but saw about 10 turkey and walked up on a coyote. Next time you plan on scouting around up there I would like to join you. I live in Pequannock so its only a 15 - 20 min. ride. I plan on hunting that area this season and could use some scouting tips. (This past season was my first season hunting, so I'm looking for all the help I can get)

Hey Matty, if you know the area also I could use all the help I can get.

Hey guys, I am New to NJ, by way of PA. I stumbled upon thi ssite, and it seems like you all have a good time and are very familiar with the areas. I would like to hunt over here but have no idea where to go, or no one to go with. If you guys are wliling to help a fellow hunter out i would GREATLY appreciate it. Hope to talk to you all soon
Thanks

Ian

As far as tips go I have one: STAY OUT OF MY SPOT! [mad] Just kidding...LOL!
