UPDATES (2006-2007)

 

1.  Hunters with a validated DMZ permit may scout hunt units.  Scouting will be allowed on the two Sundays prior to opening day from sunrise to sunset, as well as all Sundays during the permittees corresponding season.  This means you cannot scout during a season for which you do not have a permit.  You must carry your current hunting license and proper zone permit.  No weapons may be possessed while scouting.  The permittee is the only person authorized to scout the refuge.

 

2.  The use of nails, wire, screws, or bolts to attach a stand to a tree, or hunting from a tree into which a metal object has been driven to support a hunter is prohibited on National Wildlife Refuges.  Use of screw-in or nailed steps is also prohibited on National Wildlife Refuges. All stands MUST be removed by the end of your corresponding season or they will be confiscated.

 

3.  Hunter Orientation dates for 2006-2007 season are:

 

Brigantine Division: Sunday, August 27, Sunday, October 15 and Sunday, November 12, 2006.

4.  Hunter Report Cards MUST be returned within ten days of the close of your season.  You may e-mail your information to: forsythe@fws.gov.  Please be sure to write Hunter Report Card in the subject line and include all necessary information. 

 

Information on 2006-07 deer permits has been posted on the NJ Div. of Fish and Wildlife website.
