You guys make it seem like NJ is one big dump. I'm sure there is garbage to be found in any state.

It's not that stump shooting is illegal. It's just that "target practice" is illegal on public land, except on designated ranges.

On private land you can stump shoot all you want. On public land, you better be legally hunting if you're carrying a weapon in the woods.

Which essentially translates into illegal on public land because you are only allowed to hunt with broadheads in NJ.

Other than the garbage, It looks like nice land. What park were you at? Thanks Mike.

NJ isn't all that bad but this state park gets used by mountain bikers, joggers, horse back riders, hikers etc etc cost free and they bring all their garbage in and throw it all over.  The hunters normally end up clean it up in our own special wayu LOL.

Wish I was there boys! Looks like a great day!

Heya bud your always welcome!  Its either a 3D or garbage collecting on sundays here  :p

Tom (both of you), once I get feeling better we should get a group together for some stump shooting.

Yes and no. I don't think anybody would give you a hard time for carrying a couple of arrows with judos or blunts, as long as you also had a couple of BHs for "groundhog hunting".

I ALWAYS have a couple of hex heads in my quiver. Never had any troubles.

I wasn't aware of the Jersey law about stumpshooting. One afternoon, I was waiting for my buddy Bamboo to get off work in Jersey and I took a stroll in the State Park stumpshooting.

A few hours later when I was returning, I seen the Fish&Game car drive by where Mike works. He never seen me or he would have stopped...since I had a backquiver full of arrows. It was later that Mike informed me of Jersey laws. Be prepared....carry a few broadheads for those chucks...

Good stuff guys!!  Looks like a great time!!

Eric yea man let me know when your ready we will pick a day and fling em bud!

Oh and remember no hunting on sundays!  I love NJ only place a man can shoot his kid dead and walk away free as a bird but a man who want to shoot some rotten stumps in the middle of no where loses all privliges for life!
