LEFTOVER FALL TURKEY PERMIT SALES

The Division of Fish and Wildlife will offer leftover fall turkey permits at selected Division offices throughout the state beginning Monday, September 29, 2003. This special over-the-counter sale will enable hunters who did not apply for a permit, were not selected in the lottery, or who wish to obtain an extra permit an opportunity to do so.

As long as the supply lasts, leftover permits will be sold Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 12 noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at four Division field offices and the Trenton office. There will be no Saturday sales for Fall Turkey Permits. Persons interested in purchasing an unclaimed permit must bring their 2003 hunting license and cash or check for $21 (for each adult permit) or $12 (for each youth permit).

Hunters need not be present to purchase permits over-the-counter. A person may purchase a permit for a hunter who is unable to attend the over-the-counter sale if they have the absent hunter's valid hunting license. However, a hunter in line is limited to purchasing permits for a maximum of three individuals. Photocopies of licenses are not acceptable.

The following Areas are available over-the-counter at the Pequest, Northern Region, Central Region (Assunpink WMA), Southern Region and Trenton offices: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Less than 15 permits remain for Turkey Hunting Area 20. Consequently, those permits will only be available at the Southern Region Office in Sicklerville.
