UBNJ Deer Management Hunting Program
 
Mission Statement

 
The objective of the UBNJ Deer Management program for any Private, Township, County or State properties and the goal of the United Bowhunters of New Jersey members is to address the overpopulation of whitetail deer by reducing and maintaining the number of whitetail deer on these properties to a manageable healthy herd level so that their numbers do not impact injury, illness or damage to persons, property or habitats by way of our legal, ethical, safe and very effective hunting methods.
