New Jersey hunters can enjoy some of the finest turkey hunting on the East Coast right in their own backyards. Abundant public land and a low density of hunters make South Jersey ideal. Specific information on public turkey hunting land is contained in the annual NJ Wild Turkey Hunting Season Information booklet.

NOTE: Information is from 2004 and may not be accurate for all areas. See the Public Hunting Land in New Jersey page for general information on lands open to hunting.
