Hey guys I am Jersey Dave I have been bow and gun hunting Jersey now for 24 years. I started hunting New York this year up in Tompkins County. You guys have some true giants in your state. We have some good bucks in Jersey but not like NY. I got a few questions for you guys. Have any of you ever submitted a buck to the NYS big buck club. If so what all do I have to send in with the forms. I took a good buck up there this year november 18th and would like to enter it to the club and get in the state book. Thanks for the help all.

Welcome aboard Dave!!!!

[Jersey Dave]

Elmo what laws are you refering to. I dont know many insane ones except for our bag limit 7 bucks a year is to much. I love hearing people complain about how they have never killed a wall hanger but they shoot 7 spikes a year. Then if you tell them to pass the small bucks its the same answer if I dont shoot them the next guy will when that is simply untrue I let 30 different bucks a year go by me and see some of them the next year. Thats the chance we take when we pass a deer someone might shoot him but if he makes it he will be bigger.

Was referring to shotgun or muzzleloader for everything. Can't use a rimfire or center fire for anything. Not even coyotes.

[Jersey Dave]

You can varmit hunt for groundhogs with anything under 25cal and there is a proposal for 2014 season to allow pellet guns for tree rats and small cal rifles for yotes. But it has been my exsperience that a good slug gun has no issue shooting out to around 250 yards that covers most areas in jersey well.as

I know that NY Big Buck club has a web site and forums, just go to your homepage and type in ( NY Big Buck Club) and click on search. You should find what you are looking for there. Good luck and good hunting.
