priority species by partnering with both governmental and
private partners . These partnerships will prove to be more
and more important as a means to enhance traditional
resources .
The 2008-2009 hunting seasons will see no change in
regulations from the previous year, but there are some
significant changes proposed for 2009-2010 . Among these
proposals are the addition of crossbows as a legal device
for deer hunting, a Deer Management Assistance Program
for landowners to better cope with problematic deer densities
and changes to the Spring Turkey Season format .
An article on page 6 contains more information on crossbows,
and an article on page 80 has an overview of other
significant proposals for amendments to the 2009-2010
Game Code .
The times ahead may be challenging . However, we
will set our priorities wisely, and keep you informed
about our ongoing work to offer sportsmen and sportswomen
a first-rate hunting experience in New Jersey . We
thank you for your continued support .
