Antler Restrictions

[Northcountryman]

Hey Guys.  Havent posted for awhile due to a crazy work schedule; havent even gone hunting up in NY yet!! Anyway, I was wondering if there are antler restrictions for bucks taken down here in NJ.  I dont see anything about it in the regs but wanted to make sure.  Are there antler restrictions in NJ?

 

Thanks and good luck out there this week

What zone(s) are you hunting?  Some have ARs and some don't.

It’s not enforced where I hunt.It’s all spikes and 3 and 4 pointers.You let them walk by and then bang.🤣

My zone in Nj has a 3 pt rule.  Not a big deal for me as I started but jng in PA and have had the 3pt rule my entire hunting life.
