The only problem I can forsee is that if the State allows it, and a Township gets TOO many complaints, the Township will just impose a NO HUNTING ordinance. Then NO ONE will hunt ANYWHERE in that township.
Just look at Cherry Hill. Plenty of huntable land there (either 450' or 150' ) and they have a deer PROBLEM. But due to a NO HUNTING ordinance, NOBODY hunts anywhere in Cherry Hill....


I do know, having testified in Cherry Hill to allow hunting, that their ordinance Prohibited Hunting and F&G would not interceed.
Seems that F&G hunting laws can only superceed Local NO HUNTING Laws on STATE LAND.

Same with a Twp. no discharge ordinance. It cannot be applied to State Land while in the process of hunting.

good point, Paul....the 'no discharge' ordinance is the easiest one to sell to the population.....it hides the 'no hunting' agenda quite well....

RAF34....this needs the full legislature to vote on it now...then to Christie's desk.....hopefully...he'll sign it

it has always baffled me as to why the dept of fish and game does not go after these towns that have no discharge laws and fight them to allow legal hunting. the division always seems to not care if a town allows or does not allow hunting. they will sell you a permit to hunt that town, and if you get caught they look the other way and will not help at all.

this was all over the radio the other day 101.5
all of the anti's are coming out of the woodwork

one lady claimed 60% wounding rate on deer with bows, and said every time her kids are in the woods someone shoots arrows at them

people are very sick and uninformed, but the average person in this state hears things like that on the radio and they actually believe them.

hope it passes

It would be...if the legislature was in session.  It isn't... so day 45 becomes 8/23....
