About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedDMZ 67 encompasses the huntable portion of High Point State Park north and east of Deckertown Turnpike (Rt. 650) in Sussex County, New Jersey's highest-elevation terrain. This northern NJ zone offers permit-only deer hunting with a mandatory antlerless-first rule and a 3-point antler restriction on bucks, plus access to black bear and spring turkey hunting in one of the state's most productive wildlife corridors.
High-elevation glaciated ridgeline and mixed hardwood forest at the apex of the Kittatinny Ridge in Sussex County; rocky outcrops, laurel thickets, and second-growth oak-maple forest with elevation approaching 1,803 ft (High Point monument); numerous streams and wetland pockets; bordered by the Delaware River watershed to the west
Low to moderate — permit quota limits deer hunter numbers; bear hunting pressure moderate given strong Sussex County bear population; remote terrain and permit system reduce crowding
Deer: Permit Muzzleloader Season Nov 3-6 and 10-13 (unlimited antlerless + 1 antlered, hunter must take antlerless first, buck must have 3+ points on one antler); Winter Bow Season Jan 1-31 open only in portions south and west of Rt. 23 (same bag limits and antler restriction); NO permit shotgun or six-day firearm season in Zone 67; Zone 67 deer permit required, available at license agents or NJFishandWildlife.com. Bear: Sussex County is the core of NJ black bear range and leads the state in annual harvest; bear hunting seasons (archery, firearm segments in Oct-Dec) apply to zones overlapping High Point area when open — check current bear zone designations annually as zone openings vary by year. Turkey: Spring either-sex permit season available statewide including High Point State Park; permits awarded by lottery (application Jan-Feb) then OTC; fall turkey season closed statewide. No shotgun or rifle deer hunting in Zone 67 — muzzleloader and archery only.
New Jersey's highest state park with a robust deer and black bear population; mandatory antlerless-first rule and 3-point antler restriction make it a quality deer management unit; Sussex County consistently leads the state in bear harvest; spectacular ridge-and-valley scenery; spring turkey available throughout the park
