stratocaster Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 if your wife reads this forum I'll understand it if you PM me the answer All around $72.25 permit bow z8 28 permit bow z10 28 permit bow buck 28 mz z8 28 mz z10 28 mz buck 28 rifle permit + 10.50 $250.75 fishing license -22.50 total $228.25 I'm just trying to get an idea on what people spend on license fees to hunt deer in NJ. I see the point of the licenses for the different seasons but it is a money generator as far as the permits go. I pay for the right to hunt/fish by buying the license, why should I have to buy extra permits just to reduce the population for the state. Imagine if we had a trout permit for the streams in Sussex and another for streams in Hunterdon and another for wild trout streams because that is the logic they are using. Extend the bow season if they really want to bring the numbers down in certain zones. When the state wanted to reduce the bear numbers by a greater amount they opened the bow and muzzy season and it worked. This is the problem the AR people have with DFW, they see it as a $$$ generator not wildlife mgmt. IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHbowhunter Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) All around $72.25permit bow z5 28permit bow z2 28permit bow buck 28 $156.25 I would rather - buy all around sportsman, and pay $50 a buck tag, for a maximum of "2". They would make more money and stop the madness and in the long run, potentially provide a better hunting experience.

DV1 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Free. All I can get. The state takes care of the Veterans. I knew disabled vets and active duty servicemen and women could get free licenses but Vets too? That's new. Where did you find that information.

bigfish525 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I hunt and fish in a lot of states. Whatever I pay is a cheap hobby for the enjoyment it brings me.Nothing is cheap. If you what to complain think what the next payment on that truck of yours is going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregtpal Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) I spend a lot of money on licenses. What upsets me the most is during turkey, deer permit, and bear season, most places I hunt are on the border lines of hunting zones. I frequently have to buy 2 permits to hunt the same buck or buy 2 permits to hunt both sides of a road to hunt turkeys because of zone boundaries. It's clearly a money making license as there is no "management" of any species in mind Same with me, the zones & seasons segments are the shell game where the real money is made as most could easily be consolidated & still achieve management objectives. Sportsmen need to speak out more . I say we start small with a push to purge the muzzleloader tax aka rifle permit. Email njdfg & get your organization to lobby. I emailed & got a long reply from a biologist but it was standard response you would expect trying to justify an unjustified cost to sportsmen. If enough write about undue cost & complexity, something might eventually change or at least get them to think twice about the next money grab.

gregtpal Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Whatever it is it's worth it Wouldn't you at least like to b able to hunt a larger area of the state for the same money? Consolidated zones & seasons would do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publiclandninja Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 All-Around - $72.25 Bow Zone Permit - $28 Buck Tag - $28 Turkey - $21 Fox/Coyote - $2 Bear - $4 Trout Stamp - $10.50 Trapping - $32.50 Total: $198.25 Unfortunately most of my permits and tags go entirely unused. I never even had a chance to fish, trap or hunt turkey and coyotes this past year. I just don't have enough time to enjoy myself. This might be the year I stop buying it all. I can no longer justify buying permits and tags and not having time to go. I'll just get a bow license and that's it. TDietz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06roadking Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 All around, buck permits, trout stamp, turkey permits, rifle permit, fox and yote permit so whatever that comes out to. I get out a lot and it's basically my only hobby so, aside from buying a gun now and then, it's really a cheap form of entertainment for me. Do I wish it was cheaper? Hell, I'm no idiot. Sure I do. But, for the amount of fun and entertainment I get out of it, it's a bargain hammer4reel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedars Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Agreed, It is still the most entertainment bang for the buck. If I had more opportunities, I would gladly spend more. Rusty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
