I have been recently becoming more and more interested in hunting small game.

 

Do I need a hunting license to go with one of the groups off Craigslist where I pay for the day and get a guide? How about going with a friend that has their license, still need my own if I want to carry a shotgun along?

 

I am interested in hunting goose, pheasant, Turkey and maybe deer (after I tag along on another hunt).

 

I know there is tons of info but it is confusing. I read a lot online but still had these questions.

 

-Thanks!!

yes you need a liscense to hunt on private land.

 

you can go hunting and walk along with a group of hunters without having a liscense providing you wear enough orange, and are NOT carrying a gun.

 

Need any more info let me know i hunt pheasant mostly.

If you have never taken a NJ Hunters Education course before, you may need to take one before you can even get a hunting license. I know that I had to do that MANY years ago in order to get my license... Not sure if that process is still the same, but you might want to check that out.

Still the same. There are separate classes to take, one for shotgun, one for bow, and one for rifle (muzzle-loader). It is different in that you don't go to classes anymore. You pick up a course packet and fill out the workbook and then go to a scheduled field session. When I took the shotgun course in '96 it was I think 2 or 3 classes, I think an exam, and then the field session. I was 14.

Good info!

 

Just found out that I can pick up a packet from Meltzer's and start the process. I will be trying not to buy anything while I am there.

 

Hopefully in a year I will be looking at a turkey on my dinner table.
