I am starting the process of buying a house in Randolph. Just want to get any feedback if any members live in this town.

 

House has 1.5 acres of wooded land which I am a big fan of.

Live a few miles away in Rockaway......

 

Nice area, dont know where you work, but your commute might be a hassle...

Nice area. I grew up in one of the nearby towns.

Yeah, I hear that. I work in Fairfield so I jump on 80 right after the traffic. My wife works in Teterboro so she has the long commute. She says she doesn't mind because a Yeshiva is right accross the street.

 

Also wondering how the PP process is in Randolph. It is always an issue here in Hackensack and I have given up on pistols for now just because of it. They make us get letters notarized and have an interview with the Chief each time. There is always a delay no matter how organized I am.

 

I can't wait to go ATVing in my backyard.

My sister lives in Randolph. They have a "no discharge of firearms" ordinance.

My boss lives in Randolph. Seems to be quite happy there but he probably makes twice what I do so he can afford the taxes.

Yeah, that does suck but the realtor explained that 2010 was the first year they allowed bow hunting for deer in the history of the towns establishment. It was a great success and they will do it again this year. Maybe this will open a door in the near future.

 

I think if the town allows discharge, you need to be 80 yards away from any building?

nice town, pistol permits take about 2 months...nothing really all that crazy. i pass thorugh it every morning on my way to work, traffic isnt all that bad on 10. In the summer when school is out its a breeze, I used to hunt black river which is located in chester/randolph. the trap range is free as long as one person in the party has a hunting liscense and it is realtively nice... any other questions feel free to ask or pm me.

My cousins use to live their, was a good town. he use to bow hunt but that was 30 years ago..we had some great times sledding their and fishing at the lake at the bottom of the hill.my uncle worked for panasonic and they moved to maryland to follow his job...

Randolph does allow some hunting on township property due to the fact that the area is polluted with deer. Not sure about regs on hunting private land. Be very careful with what flowers and shrubs you plant there, only the most deer resistant shrubs will survive the onslaught.

 

It's a nice town, I have no idea about permits though.

Your wife will HATE her commute.

 

She is looking at at LEAST 1 hour each way in heavy stop and go traffic on a good day, nevermind rain, snow accident etc.

 

I used to work in Teterboro and now work in Budd Lake, so I've been stuck the traffic for the last 20 years.

What section of Randolph? My Boss says there are 4 discrete sections.

This is the Ironia section. She claims she won't mind the commute. I have done it for a year when I worked in Westchester over the TPZ.

 

I was there earlier taking some pics and noticed a neighbor shooting around on something motorized.

I live right on the edge of the Ironia section (almost in Mendham, I have a Mendham mailing address).

Randolph is nice town but the high school is kind of wild (lots of parties I understand). My kids are small though and 1 of them goes to Ironia elementary.

 

As far as permits go the lady in charge of the firearms records section (Rosann Morehouse) is a nice lady and easy to work with. I have gotten about 4 permits from her in about 4 years and never had a problem. It usually takes about a month.

 

There are boatload of deer. I saw a pretty large black bear in my neighbors front yard one morning.

My cousin married a Randolph cop who is a real good guy. They went to Alaska for their honeymoon so he could fish. She's a keeper and I'm glad to have him in the family.

Well, if they do allow tree stand bow hunting on private property, any of you are more than welcome to hunt on my land. Only 1.5 acres but it is in a heavily wooded area. Not sure when the season is but the closing is around mid March.
