This letter serves as written permission from the New Jersey Natural Lands Trust (Trust) to gain access to the Choose From List Babcock Creek Bear Creek Bear Swamp Blair Creek Budd Lake Bog Clarks Landing Congleton Crossley First Time Fen - BOW ONLY Game Branch Hamilton High Rock Mtn - BOW ONLY Johns Woods - BOW ONLY Long-a-Coming Mountain Lake Bog Mt. Rascal - BOW ONLY Pancoast Papakating Creek Penny Pot Quarryville Brook Retreat Richard Buhlman Sooy Place Sweet Hollow - BOW ONLY Thompsontown Wallkill Warren Grove Bogs Preserve for the purpose of deer hunting during the 2011-2012 hunting season.  This letter along with a map of the preserve must be carried at all times by each individual hunter and made available to Conservation Officers, other law enforcement officers, or Natural Lands Trust authorities upon request.

The Preserve is open for deer hunting only. No small game, turkey, bear, or waterfowl hunting is permitted. Sunday bow hunting is not authorized on Trust preserves under N.J.S.A. 23:4-24, as recently amended. The new Sunday bow hunting law permits bow hunting on Sundays on state wildlife management areas and private property during deer season. The new law does not apply to Trust preserves as they are neither wildlife management areas nor private property.

All rules and regulations in the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife game code must be followed. Hunting deer by bow and arrow, shotgun or muzzleloader are acceptable, depending on the preserve chosen. No target shooting or discharge of weapons other than for deer hunting purposes is permitted. No permanent deer stands are allowed and should not be used under any condition. In addition, all portable deer stands must be removed after the hunting season is complete or are subject to confiscation by the Trust.

The Trust works statewide to protect open spaces for biodiversity and habitat protection. Passive outdoor recreation including hiking and bird watching are encouraged on Trust preserves. Always be thoughtful and considerate of other users of the preserve and its neighbors. Maps of preserves are available on the website and should be downloaded and attached to this permission letter.
