Population of people & lots of suburb hunting. Some areas of NJ are well suited for rifles while other are not.

Kinda funny b/c you can use a inline muzzleloader that can shoot a 250gr piece of metal travelling fast as hell out to 250 yards accurately. Most shots in NJ are 50 yards or less. Now I do have property where you can shoot over 500 yards. A person who is wreckless w/ a rifle is usually wreckless with a shotgun & muzzleloader. I would love to have a rifle season b/c I have the property to use it & w/ some of my stands.
Know your limitations, Recognize your target & whats beyond.
