A 2736 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes deer hunting on Sunday with bow and arrow or firearms on federal military land subject to approval of appropriate federal military authority.

This bill would allow deer hunting on Sundays using a bow and arrow or firearm on federal military lands in New Jersey, provided hunters obtain prior approval from the relevant federal military authority. It amends New Jersey’s existing Sunday hunting ban to create a new exception specifically for federal military properties, which currently prohibit Sunday hunting under state law. The change does not apply to other lands, such as state parks or private property, and requires the military to grant permission for each hunting location.
