I'm new to hunting, I have my shotgun permit gonna get a bow and bow permit next season. I was told that it's illegal to hunt from the ground, using a blind with a firearm is this true? I have some trouble with my knees and climbing the steps and ladders to get into stand can be an issue.

NJ is pretty picky depending on what you are hunting and when. Look at the turke rules for spring vs fall as an example.

Yeah I've searched that for hours with out seeing anything about it.

Far as I know, it's legal to hunt from a blind on the ground. If it will ease your mind, call Law Enforcement. I have a number for Somerset Cty. if you want it. Should all be the same.

I see you have an answer from the NJ Hunter forum, and some good advice.

Didn't see the answer yet but I did call the law enforcement they okayed it.
