NEW LOOK FOR TURKEY PERMITS/
OVER-THE-COUNTER TURKEY PERMIT SALES APRIL 14

For more information contact:
Permit Hotline at 609-292-9192

Due to a change in printing format, turkey permits will have a new look beginning with the 2001 Spring Gobbler Season. As in the past, permits will no longer be white "slide-out" self-mailers, but have been changed to green tri-fold, perforated self-mailers.

"Hunters should make a note of the new permit format to avoid accidentally recycling their new permits as undesirable mail," said Division Director Bob McDowell.

When opened, the permit is the top portion of the mailer. In order to separate the permit from the mailer, all perforations must be torn apart.

Aside from the new printing format, the layout of the permit itself remains unchanged. To view a sample of the new permit cover, click here.
