Just one thing to add that is not necessary, but may become invaluable... After you receive your purchased weapon they will give you a carbon copy of the P2P. Put the original in your gun safe and carry a "copy" with you to show proof that the weapon is legally yours in case you get pulled over for any reason and are questioned about your intent. Also if you join a range most have a log book that you will sign at arrival and exit, this will also show signs of your intent for transportation. Unfortunately this state is not gun friendly and not all officers now all the gun laws you are legally entitled to.

I would suggest small game hunting at first to get to know your woods on where you plan on hunting. You can learn a lot being out there walking around, noticing signs if you would like to hunt that area for deer. The off season (small game) is the best time to do this. If you see signs of deer you can bait them and set a trail cam and know what is in your area. I have been hunting in this state for almost 30 years now (South Jersey) and always learn something new every time I go out. Be sure to read up on game laws and limits as they may change from year to year. http://www.nj.gov/dep/fgw/hunting.htm Good luck and good hunting !!!!
