Regarding NJ Hunting, you will have to do a little research to figure out all the legal hunting regulations. I use this link for
2019-2020 Hunting & Trapping Digest (excerpts below were pulled from this link).
Deer Hunting
First, you have to determine your ZONE:
Next, look up your Zone Regulation Set. For my local trails (Zone 11) I use Regulation Set #8
The very first link posted above also contains information and tables on the other specific Hunting programs for Bear, Small Game, Special Permits, Special Areas (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Wildlife Refuge System), and other Public lands. Every Fall it takes me a while to locate the current online version of that link, but it's the Bible to avoid getting shot!
Be safe out there!
