I THINK that you are right... but i just want to be %100 sure...

 

what guns are allowed? which are not? when is hunting season? what do i need to do for a license even though i have no interest in hunting.. can i "target practice" in the woods? i recall the law saying something about not prohibiting the carrying of a firearm onto state land for the purpose of hunting fishing target shooting.. or something to that effect..

Obviously, the firearm has to be legal for hunting - therefore, no rifles or handguns.

thanks that's another part of what i was wondering..

 

does a shotgun have to have a stock to be legal for hunting? and there is some certain round capacity when it comes to hunting?

 

so.. hypothetically if i wanted to bring shotguns into the woods for purpose of "target shooting" would that require that it be hunting season? I don't recall it stating anything like that in the reading i did.. also what would i need to do to my pistol grip Mossberg pump (7 rounds capacity i believe) to be able to bring it in the woods to target shoot..

 

how hard is it to get a hunting license.. i have already taken a few of the NRA classes for firearms safety if that helps..

It's not worth your trouble.

 

You need the proper shotgun. During deer season it can't have a rail it needs to have adjustable sights. You also need to have hunter orange on at all times EXCEPT during turkey season.

 

Just go to a range and shoot if you don't plan on hunting.

Check it out, my ten yr old daughter did it successfully (except for the bow section).

You need to have a hunting lic on you, no more than 2 in the mag, 1 in the chamber, better have the plug in, and its got to be in season...if you are not in these guidelines, there is a NJSP car waiting for you when the Fish and Game guy walks you out of the forest in handcuffs...also, better follow the 'shot' guidelines, in otherwords, you cant have your shotty loaded with buckshot and slugs during turkey season, or loaded with birdshot during deer season, etc...

 

Take a hunter safety course, get the hunting lic, and walk freely my friend....

There is one major benefit to having your hunting license. You can use the free training ranges that are located all over the state. You can shoot shotgun (clays, slugs), rimfire long guns, and muzzleloaders for free (must have current license and can bring guests). The license only requires you to take the hunter safety course and purchase a license. This works for me because there is a range 5 miles from my house. It is only heavily used around hunting season and is open all year.
