What I wish I'd known before hunting public land in New Jersey

Not all public hunting land is created equal. Hunting in New Jersey comes with its own challenges, but it can be an enjoyable experience if you know what you’re getting yourself into. Expect other hunters New Jersey is the most densely populated state in the country, and some public hunting areas can feel crowded compared with the larger tracts of land available in parts of the Midwest. You may encounter other hunters, so be respectful and remember that public land is for everyone. When I was 11, my dad took my brothers and me deer hunting on public land during the youth firearm season. Once we got set up, another hunter and his son walked up on us. They saw us, veered off in another direction and bumped a deer toward us in the process. I shot my first deer that day, beginning my success as a public land hunter. Be prepared for bears New Jersey has a thriving black bear population, particularly in the northwestern part of the state. Depending on where you hunt, you may encounter one, so it’s important to stay aware of your surroundings. Black bears generally avoid people, but you should never approach one. The

A new restaurant blew my mind

I've had some hot takes that've gotten me backlash in the past; not liking Thanksgiving food (it's boring), thoroughly loving Chuck E. Cheese stuffed crust (not sure how anyone couldn't), preferring cinnamon Pop-Tarts to strawberry (the flavor you love is blueberry, trust me. Strawberry is muted) — but I'm about to drop a bomb. For years, I've kept this under wraps. Garden Staters get heated over food, and the debate wasn't one I was willing to spark, because, even if I made a perfectly reasonable case, I'd still receive emails saying my mom "should've chosen Plan B" (yes, that's happened). To demonstrate how fatigued I am with those arguments, however, I say this without a care in the world: I don't like Italian rainbow cookies . They taste like licorice, they reek of almond extract and, as a kid, they lure you into what you think is a chocolate-dipped truffle, but leave you with an underwhelming block of marzipan you'd buy near the register of a T.J. Maxx. Am I wrong? DM me, @northjerseyeats . What I'm sure I'm right about, though — besides the fact that the gooey squares from J&M Bakery might be the one exception to my
