This bill amends current New Jersey law to authorize Sunday hunting for deer using firearms and bows on specific lands, including State wildlife management areas, private property, federal military land (with appropriate approvals), and the William J. Hughes Technical Center in Galloway Township. The bill modifies R.S.23:4-24 by allowing individuals with valid hunting licenses to hunt deer on Sundays during designated hunting seasons, which is a significant change from the existing prohibition on Sunday hunting, except for certain exceptions like raccoon hunting.

The new legal language specifies that hunters must possess a valid bow and arrow or firearm license, or an "All Around Sportsman License," and comply with all relevant provisions of the State Fish and Game Code. The bill aims to expand hunting opportunities while ensuring that hunters are properly licensed and regulated. This change reflects a shift in policy to allow for more flexibility in hunting practices on Sundays, aligning with the needs of hunters and landowners.
