i recall seeing a sign that it’s closed for about a week in December for deer hunting. Anyone know the exact dates this year?

I believe next week is the big week for hunting so I would suggest you head out on Sunday's unless you are in a Wildlife Management area where you need to be careful every day.

There are multiple times open for deer hunting; can get a bit complicated. State wide firearm is 12/4-9. Find the zone FPP is in and go from there, or give the NJCF a call, 908-234-1225

Not sure, but it may also be open to small game hunting.

FPP is Special Area Zone 68, and it follows the season dates in Regulation Set #6, although hunters have to contact NJCF for permission, areas open to hunting, and rules. 12/4 through 12/9 is Six-day Firearm Season (for all zones) and I'm guessing that's when they would close it, although I don't know for sure. I was advised to stay out of all hunting areas those 6 days, more of a courtesy to hunters rather than for safety.
