Hunting wild turkeys in New Jersey is illegal. There are six varieties of wild turkey. Domestic turkeys have black legs and wild turkeys have pink legs. Turkey gobble calls can be heard from 300 feet away. Wild turkeys mate for life, like swans.
Male turkeys take turns with their mates in nesting and raising their young.
Wild turkeys are found in every state of the United States including Hawaii. The way to tell a male turkey is by his snood. The New Jersey Division of Fish, Game and Wildlife-site includes hunting regulations in our state and conservation approach to wildlife management. Also, this site posts a Turkey shoot contest for New Jersey Hunters.
