I am probably going to try my luck out in Black river this weekend. Anyone interested?

No. Not really much you can hunt with a .22 other than woodchuck.

I believe you need to be on private property (no WMA's) to use a .22 for woodchuck. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Their talking about hunting crows not woodchuck..

I'm pretty sure a few years ago I read in the digest that you can hunt crow with 22 on private property.

 

Either way , do you guys actually eat them?

You may want to review the state regs. for crow. You can't hunt on any WMA's with a .22 rifle. Page 26 of the Digest spells out specifics for use of a .22 rifle and types of game allowed to be taken with such.

Crows also fall under the state and Federal migratory regs. category. Technically, you cannot hunt migratory birds with a rifle or pistol unless the state allows an exception. (I.E. New York clearly spells out the exception with use of a rifle for crow hunting. I cannot find such specificity in New Jersey's Digest.)
