Good job. As far as where deer densities should go, ten per square mile is way below the NJ average. That would be typically be 17-23 per square mile, depending on habitat. I know Reddington only well enough to know it can sustain at least 20/square mile.

I hunt a 170 acre farm in Clinton Township and this farm from my estimate has about 20 does per one buck on it and I keep telling the farmer that I have to shoot more does but, the deer do not bother him at all. He always wants me to shoot him two to three does a year and I can shoot two bucks eight points or better and a few does. Doesn't put a dent in the population at all.

I hope you have enough interest from residents, if however you do not, what would be the chance of allowing outsiders to apply?

Unfortunately it will only be open to residents this year....it was part of the compromise.  Moving forward I would love to open it up.

Not anywhere near there but please do a great of documentation and new counts each year if possible to support your cause.  After a few yrs write a paper for other townships to use.
