We got a new (Republican) Governor in this long time Democrat controlled state.

What has happened here since?

The minimum distance from an occupied building where a bowhunter may have a nocked arrow is now reduced from 450 feet to 150 feet.

Ended the past Governor's ban on Bear Hunting. The 2010 black bear hunting season is December 6-11, 2010

There will be no lottery for deer permits this year.

The 2009–2010 deer season witnessed the introduction of crossbows for all hunters during every
season when a bow is a legal hunting sporting arm. Prior to this season, hunting with a crossbow
was limited to individuals with certain physical limitations.The New Jersey Fish and Game Council adopted the use of crossbows for hunters of all abilities after weighing constituent requests, crossbow harvest data from other states and the results of a survey conducted by New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife entitled An Assessment of New Jersey Resident Hunter Opinion on Crossbow Use. The survey shows that the majority of New Jersey hunters support the use of crossbows by
hunters of all ages in each existing bow season. Data from other states showed the ballistics and
success rate of crossbows was comparable to those of compound bows. For survey results, see
