Annual Wild Turkey Brood Sighting Surveys will be conducted from May 15 - September 15 to estimate the average number of wild turkey poults per hen statewide to gauge reproductive success and productivity.
New in 2022, NJ Fish and Wildlife is opening this survey up to the public for a larger sample size of observations. Habitat conditions, weather, and predators all significantly impact nest success and poult/hen survival during the breeding and brood-rearing seasons.
