RE: NJ DEER ZONE # 4
i saw yesterday morning on rt.80 westbound a dead deer, nice 8 point rack, it was just past the rt.287 exit.
no earn a buck in zone 4, i agree with you that for the most part bucks up there are forkhorns, but ive seen some really great bucks up there, thats why i hold out, my friends saw some good bucks but 1st chance at any deer is good enough for them. if it was gun season i would of taken that little guy since its public land. not much deer activity up there in the area of zone 4 i hunt, others claim it also, then again others i know who hunt miles away within zone 4 claim to be seeing plenty of sign.

RE: NJ DEER ZONE # 4
Went to Zone 2 in the 70 degree heat today and had 4 different buck around my stand. 3 were small rackers and one huge spike (15 in long). I saw only 5 doe but the bucks were on the prowl. All of the bucks came in from 7.30--9.00am but the rackers would not come closer than 40 yds and I could not stop them with a grunt. The spike came by twice and I could have shot the second time but passed.
Looks like the rut is heating up but I am disappointed that our lease has no decent bucks this year. The last 3 years we have had a lot of small racks and spikes due to lack of quality food and a bad buck/doe ratio/
