- Brant Hunting
- New Jersey is home to the largest concentration of wintering Brant on the Eastern flyway. Peak times are mid-November
to January. The birds usually decoy beautifully and shots are within 10 to 15 yards.
- Sea Duck Hunting
- Long tailed ducks, Black, White and Surf Scooters. These are open water hunts at a fast pace. Scooters run from mid-October to January
in good numbers. Old Squall are by far the most sought after Sea Duck and peaks in mid-November to January. Anyone who has hunted these
birds knows some days they decoy beautifully and other days they won't even look at you.
- General Duck Hunts
- This is by far our most popular hunt. Hunters may take a variety of ducks, including Buffleheads, Blacks, Mergansers, Shovelers, Brant,
Teal and Pintails. All from one location and all in one morning.
- Broadbill Hunts
- New Jersey is home to thousands of Broadbill and a good Broadbill shot cannot by rivaled by anything else. Hunters usually take a
mix of Broadbill, Red heads and Canvasbacks. It is not uncommon to see thousands of birds moving in waves to their feeding areas
on this hunt. Peak times for this hunt are mid-December through January.

- What Do I Need To Hunt Migratory Birds In New Jersey?
-
- To hunt crows you need a New Jersey hunting license - See 2008-09 NJ Fish and Wildlife Digest for hunting license requirements and fees.
- To hunt woodcock, rails, snipe, coots or gallinules you need a New Jersey hunting license and Harvest Information Program (HIP) certification.
- To hunt ducks, geese and/or brant you need a New Jersey hunting license, HIP certification, Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp and New Jersey Waterfowl Stamp. Both Federal and State stamps are required for waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and older and must be signed across the face in ink.
- Harvest Information Program (HIP)
-
Hunters must obtain a HIP certification before hunting ducks, geese, brant, coot, woodcock, rails, snipe, or gallinules. All HIP certifications are handled through the state's new Integrated Electronic Licensing System (IELS). Migratory bird hunters can get their HIP
Certification one of three ways:
- Online at the license sales web site.
- From a license agent using the new IELS system.
- By calling the toll-free NJ telephone sales line at (888) 277-2015.
All 3 methods allow hunters to go hunting immediately after registering. Online and license agent HIP certifications will cost $2.00 while telephone HIP certifications will include a shipping/handling fee and cost $5.13. Internet HIP certifications can be printed on a home computer. Telephone HIP certifications will be received in about 1 week; however, hunters can begin hunting immediately by recording their HIP certification number. HIP certification should be carried in the hunter's license holder. HIP certifications are valid from Sept. 1, 2008 to March 10, 2009. Information collected in HIP is confidential and used by the USFWS for conducting migratory bird harvest surveys. As in the past, the USFWS will mail harvest survey information to a small, random sample of HIP registrants.
