Deer Hunt

They are a menace to our great state and it's time to have a serious management plan.

An estimated 110,000 deer live in parts of Jersey where hunting is allowed, and just as many if not more may be inhabiting other areas.

Essex County authorities say more than 100 deer were killed during the county's recent hunt.

Beginning this coming Wednesday, 6 sites in Union County will be open to deer hunters to begin the process of culling the herd that will end around the beginning of February. The purpose of the hunt is to diminish the number of deer that have been wrecking havoc on vegetation as well as causing quite a number of car accidents...

In Lenape Park, ten licensed hunters perched in treetops wearing orange vests are on a mission to remove 125 deer from the 400 acre park. The hunt goes on each Monday until February 6th.
