The darn trees were in my way and I could not get a good vantage point to take a clear shot :

Ugggghhh.... just a "2 pointer."  Are they legal?    What is the minimum "pointage," if any?

Depends on zone. There are like 10-12 zones where 3 points are minimum, but many zones in which there is no minimum. Seeing how NJ has an overpopulation of deer in many zones, it does make sense to take smaller deer too. For example some zones have no season limit on does last I checked.

I don't shoot animals, I was joking about not being able to get a clear shot with my camera.   BTW I have no issue with anyone that wants to hunt them, its just not something I do.

I'm in the same boat.

I've never hunted, though I'd like to try it out one of these days. I'd probably feel bad shooting a deer (not saying that I don't think venison tastes great!), but I'd have no problem shooting geese. I hate those f-ers, leaving their crap in sidewalks, parks, and golf courses everywhere.  

They look a little dull. One of them has horseface.

 

Certainly nice pics, though.

I am also the same. I would hunt if I needed to for "food/survival,"  but not really for "sport." But to each, their own personal choice. I am by no means a "vegetarian."  It would be totally hypocritical for me to condemn hunters and then go out and buy ribs, chicken, beef, etc. at my grocery store.

 

 

But... sorry.... no meat product(s) from a vendor named "Taylor."  :D

I'm vegetarian and don't condemn hunters. It makes more sense to me that people hunt animals and are aware of what is necessary for meat to exist than for someone to order a package from their local grocer and have the violence occur out of sight, out of mind. The cognitive dissonance that I see in most people is frustrating. If you wouldn't do it it with your own hand every time you eat it's not ethical to enjoy the fruits of the activity by having someone else do it for you.

When you use a Cannon to hunt with their is no minimum..LOL..

What kind of bush is that with the red things on it? Are those berries?

Yea they were some type of red berries in the foreground. I was just trying to share some wildlife photos not trying to make this a pro or anti hunting thread.

I see several meals worth there, lol!  My entire family LOVES venison!

 

Nice pix Howard!

Pretty awesome pictures man. 

 

I agree with most here, I dont like shooting animals but if I was starving I would. I think deer meat is kinda bad. My uncle gave me some last week. I tried to make meat sauce for pasta and it was pretty bad.

I don't think anybody said anything anti-hunting. I don't hunt, either, but fully support it like everyone in this thread.

I believe that's Japanese barberry. An invasive plant species in New Jersey.

Do the deer eat them?

The freakin deer eat Everything. I think they are pretty, but I call them Suburban Rats!

No, hence the reason those plants grow as they do and are listed as an invasive species in NJ. Birds eat the berries, and that is how the seeds are planted elsewhere. If deer ate them like they do anything else, they wouldn't be such a nuisance.

Nice pics, thanks for sharing...

Used to hunt, too much work...
