S 1858 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes Sunday firearm and bow hunting for deer on certain lands.

S 1858 would allow deer hunting with firearms or bows on Sundays on specific lands in New Jersey, including State wildlife management areas, private property, federal military lands (with installation approval), and the William J. Hughes Technical Center (with facility approval). The bill amends current law that prohibits Sunday hunting except for limited exceptions, by adding these authorized locations for deer hunting during designated seasons. Hunters must possess a valid firearm, bow, or "All Around Sportsman" license and follow all State Fish and Game Code rules. This directly affects deer hunters seeking Sunday hunting opportunities on these designated properties. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
