If the yearly antlered or antlerless harvest in any deer management zone is above or below the stated buck goal by 15 percent, the Council may, upon consultation with the Director, move a deer management zone into a more liberal or more conservative regulation set for subsequent deer seasons, as is determined to be appropriate to provide for harvests which will meet the stated goals, as specified in (r) below. The appropriate regulation set will be determined by estimating the resulting harvest of antlered or antlerless deer under various regulation sets having varying season lengths and/or bag limits. Such regulation set changes will be made by publication of a notice of administrative change in the New Jersey Register, as well as by posting notice on the Division's website and in the Hunting Digest which summarizes hunting season dates and regulations.
