Youth license holders who have obtained a “Y” turkey permit will have the first opportunity to harvest a Spring Gobbler during the Youth Turkey Hunting Day<\/strong> on Saturday, April 24. All eligible youth hunters (those with a valid Youth License<\/a>) are entitled to a “Y” permit for the Turkey Hunting Area of their choice. The “Y” permit is valid for the entire season (or until a bird is harvested).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Youth Turkey Hunting Day is part of NJDEP’s Fish and Wildlife’s Take a Kid Hunting Program<\/a>. It is considered an extension of the regular season permit held by the youth. If a youth hunter harvests a turkey on this youth hunting day the “Y” period permit is no longer valid for future hunting. All other spring turkey hunting regulations apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Direct supervision of the youth hunter by a properly licensed non-hunting adult 21 years of age or older is required. The adult may not shoot on this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helpful turkey hunting information and tips can be found on the Wild Turkey in New Jersey page<\/strong> at www.njfishandwildlife.com\/turkey_info.htm<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Permits are available at license agents<\/a> and online<\/a> (permits obtained online can be printed at home and used immediately. Regular youth permits for one or more specific Area\/Period may be obtained in addition to the initial “Y” permit.
