Read this story about two hunters who found a dead body Sunday night at 6pm in Green Brook:

The question I have is about what hunters are doing a) on a Sunday, b) in the dark (6pm?), and c) in that very dense area.

 

Winter bow? But I think the houses are too close, and it was on a Sunday?

 

Anyone know more?

I'm not familiar with this location but bow hunters are permitted to hunt private property and WMA's on Sunday. I do know that sometimes when I'm strapped for time putting out corn and checking trail cameras I'll end up being out after dark.

Winter bow, perhaps, but did they have bows? Maybe they were baiting or checking game cameras.

Wasn't me.

Wasn't me.

 

Thank, God. The first thing I thought when reading this is, "Man, this sounds like something Mipa would do." Thanks for clearing that up.

No problem, Diggler

Simply checking the area.

Checking a stand.

Checking trail cameras.

Managing food.

Poaching.

 

This story reminded me of a pronouncement I did in the Burlington County woods once. A guy was bringing his son and a friend to see his stand. As they approached they saw a person hanging from the stand. They ushered the kid away, telling him it was a practical joke and got him out of the area before the emergency vehicles arrived.

The hanging guy went out there to off himself with a ladder, I guess the stand was a better platform.

That's pretty damn close to where I live... and that place is very dense with people.... not a really good place to be hunting at all. weird.

I used to work right down the road from where the body was found.

I have put you all on my suspect list..

Deer hang out by houses...

Soriano said the remains were found in an elevated, cliff-like area.

"Its in an unusual location," he said.

 

In NJ, nothing is unusual.

You can hunt with a bow within 150 feet of houses, and as Hinchman said - the deer hangout by the houses.
