New Jersey hunting licenses are good for the calendar year and expire on Dec. 31 regardless of when they are purchased. Be aware that for muzzleloading hunting, a Rifle Permit is required in addition to the basic hunting license and muzzleloader season permit . Waterfowl hunters should consult the Migratory Bird Supplement , published in September each year, for waterfowl hunting regulations. In addition to the Federal Duck Stamp, New Jersey also requires waterfowl hunters age 16 or older possess a New Jersey Waterfowl Stamp.
