I bailed on all my Winslow spots, that woods has been decimated over the last few years.

I'm over in 25/65/55 and have noticed this year to be the year of the little buck. Have been hunten hard, not one true shooter, and more dissappointingly is the small amount of true mature does in the area.

I moved to Jersey 9 years ago and was seeing 10-20 deer per day bowhunting in Zone 25. The past three years I have been lucky if I see 1-2 deer per day:thdown:. The unlimited anterless system has decimated the herd. It's up to the hunters in these type of zones to police themselves and manage the existing herd so our kids have something to see when they hunt!

I've hunted 65 for over 15 years. Seems this year has been the worse season yet. Lots and lots of people there encroaching on my spots. I know.. it's public woods. I'm used to it.

I have spots all over the place and have seen some little bucks which I don't shoot anymore. Mature does as mentioned above are few and far between. I saw two mature does my whole archery season.

I think that area needs the 3pt rule per side unless it's youth day. We are also allowed to kill far too many bucks in NJ.
