The NJ DEP Division of Fish and Wildlife is reminding hunters that the Six-day Firearm Deer Season opens one-half hour before sunrise on Monday, December 7. This state-wide season allows licensed hunters to harvest two antlered deer.

Hunters wishing to use a bow must have both a firearm and, archery license in possession, or an All-around License. Antlered deer taken during the Six-day Firearm Season with a bow must be tagged with the Six-day Firearm Season Transportation Tag.
