Non-Resident Hunting in New Jersey
Information regarding laws, regulations, requirements, seasons and other topics is available in the Hunting Issue of the Fish and Wildlife DIGEST (published in August). Digests are available at Division offices, license agents, through the mail by request or on-line. New Jersey hunting licenses are good for the calendar year and expire on Dec. 31 regardless of when they are purchased. They are available at Division offices and license agents and on-line. For use of a muzzleloading rifle, a NJ Rifle Permit is required in addition to the basic hunting license. The Rifle Permit is required to purchase and use a muzzleloader deer season permit. To purchase a NJ hunting license it is necessary to document possession of a previous year's resident license or hunter education course completion. Visitors to our license Web site will find the option to purchase hunting and trapping licenses "locked" if this documentation has not been entered into a customer's electronic record. For purchase information please see the Hunting License Information page. To have the license options "unlocked" see the Nonresident License Documentation page. Waterfowl hunters should consult the Migratory Bird Supplement, published in September each year, for waterfowl hunting regulations. In addition to the Federal Duck Stamp, New Jersey also requires waterfowl hunters age 16 or older possess a New Jersey Waterfowl Stamp and Hunter Information Program certification. Visit our Waterfowl Stamps page for information on state-issued stamps and prints. New Jersey has an impressive amount of public land open to hunting. We welcome hunters from outside New Jersey and think you'll find our numerous seasons and often liberal bag limits appealing. For further information by phone call 609-292-2965; to contact us via e-mail please use the E-mail NJ DFW page. |
