The country is located in Somerset, Hunterdon and Morris counties in north central New Jersey. It is approximately 10 by 15 square miles. The terrain is hilly with both dense woodlands and wide open galloping fields. Fences are mostly chicken coops and post and rails. Our fox population is large and healthy and our country has abundant coverts.
