Small game in NJ

Recommended Posts

I have been hunting in PA the last few years, and decided to get my NJ hunting license this year. Imagine my surprise when I saw that I can’t hunt squirrel or rabbit with a .22. According to the regs I am allowed either a shotgun or muzzleloader of .36 cal or less.

 

So it seems to me that a 12 gauge is a little overkill for rabbit and squirrel. What do you guys use? 20 ga? 410?

12g works just use light Fine loads. I prefer a 20g myself for small game and peasant. .22 is legal for coon, groundhog, & dispatch for trapping. Possibly coming soon is air rifle season for squirrel. I don't know if it passed or not yet. But I believe it has been submitted and awaiting approval or denial.

Hasn't passed yet. July's meeting was cancelled. It will come to a vote in the August hearing.

Keep in mind there are specific zones where ML's are allowed for squirrel. And you'll need a NJ Rifle Permit.

I just took my rifle test last night and I was talking to the instructor after the class he told me that all proposals had passed.

 

Those proposals have been approved, but need to go before the Fish & Game Council for final vote. Their July 9th meeting was when they were to vote on these, but the meeting was cancelled. The next meeting is scheduled for August 9th.

    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
