Title
Turkey Hunting Areas (THA) in New Jersey [New Jersey]
Description
NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife manages turkey hunting in New Jersey through the use of Turkey Hunting Areas (THA). The Division, under authority of the Fish and Game Council designates these boundaries. Turkey Hunting Area boundaries are comprised of major and minor roads, waterways, and geographic formations. Included for reference are county and township data. THAs are updated on an as needed basis. Extirpated in New Jeresey by the late 1800s, wild turkeys were reintroduced to the state in the late 1970s and through the help of trap and transfer operations, can now be found in every New Jersey county and have adapted to all but the most urbanized areas. Turkeys are photographed, watched and hunted by many in New Jersey and visitors from elsewhere. Turkey hunters spend more than 3.5 million dollars each year as they enjoy approximately 50,000 recreation-days hunting turkeys. Money spent in the course of turkey hunting benefits a wide variety of New Jersey businesses.
