One of the proposed changes for the upcoming early fall archery season is to make that season antlerless only.
As a bowhunter in New Jersey, I am against the change in early fall archery season NOT allowing me to harvest a buck after I have harvested my required antlerless deer. I will no longer participate in the early archery season due to this change.
The main reason a bowhunter endures 90+ degree temperatures is for a chance to harvest a buck that is on his summer pattern or even a velvet buck after they harvest a doe. If you take that away bowhunters will do other activities until fall bow season opens then they will harvest a buck without ever shooting a doe.
We ask you to drop this change and leave earn a buck in place for the early season.

One hundred people have signed on to keep these regulations as they are. It has been a long road to get even this far and I am tired but I will keep pushing back against this change.

Dont fix what isnt broken. I look forward to this season all year but this would ruin it.
Ridiculous rule change. Why would anyone go out in the heat if they cant even take a buck? Waste of time.
total nonsense. Leave it how it was. If they change this nobody is going to bother with the early season i guarantee it.
Leave it alone. We already do our part for herd management. This just punishes the guys who actually put in the work.
So frustrating. Just another example of people who dont hunt making rules for those of us who do. Keep earn a buck.
