Middlesex County Parks management hunts

[tankerchief]

I'm hunting the Middlesex County Parks for the first time this year.  I don't anticipate getting out much until December/January for late bow and muzzleloader.  Just looking for an opportunity for  additional days in the field and add more venison to the freezer.

 

Does anyone have recommendations on which of the parks hold better potential? Scouted by aerial maps and am going in on foot starting tomorrow.  Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Can you say which parks are open?

Are there a limited number of permits given out?

 

I would think that they would want you hunting more often than just December/January?

Sorry I've been away.  I think the county limits the permits to 1,000 although they told me they never issue all of them.  There are 5 parks/areas that allow hunting

 

Thompson Park in Monroe

Phillips Park in Old Bridge

Jamesburg

Matchaponix in Monroe

Van Dyke Farm in South Brunswick
