All Activity

Out on public today with my son. We both have C and D but I’m not hunting today just sitting with him and enjoying the day in the woods. So far quiet

I bought another for this week and D week can’t get even a two day weather window to hunt Ohio . not driving all that way to sit in the rain

Welcome to NJ Woods & Water Cpn08520!

You might need to change your deodorant

Leave them down south where they belong along with all the snakes. !!

I will be out Thursday and Friday

Nice fish Mike, surf is always a great option and in some spots the scenery makes it great👹

Fun day at the beach!

Looks delicious!

Putting this in my recipe book

Can't keep away from the salt. Hit the beach alone and landed a fat slot striper for the table. Had a pod of Porpoises keep me company before my striper visited. I love all fishing, but the satisfaction and surf experience is becoming increasingly enjoyable.

Nope. The state only publishes numbers after the season, and for specific zones only. Nothing during the season. And nothing about where inside a zone birds are taken. You won't see a map, for example, with dots showing you where individual birds were taken within a zone. (that stuff isn't even part of the harvest report - at most the state has data on the township but that is never published in the after-season reports that I've ever seen). For example, here's the harvest data report for 2022 https://dep.nj.gov/wp-content/uploads/njfw/turkey_harvest_report.pdf

Hey all forgive if a newbie stupid question, but is there a way to see where birds have been taken in a zone? I located a roost, met the Tom two days in a row but he wouldn’t come close enough. Had to wait a week (cause my A permit ended) for new permit C week and wondering if someone else got him, before I waste a morning. Nothing is calling at night I think maybe because of the wet weather. thanks.

Thanks for sharing this! Definitely going to try it.

Get on them. Hope the rain holds out. I’m working tomorrow but planning on being out tues to Friday

Have a charter Friday. Def gonna try it with some striper. Thanks for sharing

Well after eating 2 a week tags and only getting out once during b week due to busy work schedule, I said I was done for the year. That was until I got words of birds on the one farm again sooo I broke my promise to myself🤦‍♂️. Another donation to the state after lookin at this week's weather. Good luck to everybody getting out this week hopefully the weather holds out.

The fresh scallions & ginger make this recipe....incredible flavor. REALLY try this. You will love it

I do similar. I cube the meat. Then when done I put over jasmine rice. Or I brush it with a dill salad dressing. Some coarse fresh ground pepper.

My buddy went fishing in Cape Cod and brought back fresh haddock. I cooked it tonight w my favorite white fish recipe. My roommate in college was Vietnamese and showed me this....HIGHLY recommend trying, as it is fantastic and is great on: striper, sea bass, fluke, monkfish, tog, cod, haddock, halibut, & trout too. Make a tinfoil "boat," put fillet in. Sea salt the fillet, cover w scallions & FRESH peeled slivers of ginger, a squeeze of lemon, a dash of low sodium soy sauce, & a super light drizzle of olive oil or very slight dash of butter, & a splash of water. Put on grill until fish is flaky....you will love it. Promise.

Painted so I can’t tell the maker or the weight but kind of resembles a Ben Pearson. Left handed. Weight feels like 35-40lb. Has a new string. $25 located in Clifton

Bring it.....seriously shooting big gators is a lot of work. You think getting a big bear out of the woods is bad, gators can be a lot worse.

Update... this same property I also hunted Thursday morning. I didn't see or hear a single thing. I just get a text from my buddy this evening, "How was the hunting over here the past week?" I told him the story - "not good, didn't see or hear a single Tom, blah blah blah" He sends me this text just now, "3 Toms, 3 hens behind the building right now." SONAVA!!! And next week I do not have a permit for this zone. But I do for D weeks. I'll have to make it over there a week from now and hopefully they are still around.

That's an old one.
