DEER SEASONS EXTENDED IN SOME ZONES

January 21, 2000

The 1999-2000 Deer Shotgun Permit Season and Winter Bow Season have been extended through Saturday, February 12, in portions of central and northern New Jersey. This action is in response to complaints from the agricultural community, including the State Board of Agriculture, the Hunterdon County Board of Agriculture and various local communities with excessive damage to agricultural crops due to an over abundance of deer and an inadequate harvest of deer in the area.
