It is little wonder why there are so many misperceptions regarding the bill awaiting the governor\’s signature to allow bow hunting on Sunday. New Jersey is a place where the roots of rural rearing a nd \”living off of the land\” are mere acres from the treadmill of metropolitan life and an existence dependent on modern conveniences.
This legislation is founded on the precept of conservation. In the case of deer, an overabundance eventually leads to the devouring of forest undergrowth, a food source that sustains not only deer but other wildlife.
The state Division of Fish & Wildlife uses science as the foundation for determining excess deer populations and then institutes strict \”bag limits\” as a means for hunters to cull the excess deer. Deer culling also provides food for the hunter and his or her family.
