Youth Turkey Hunt Day
april 11, 2009
Youth hunters with a valid youth license who have obtained
a turkey permit may begin their spring turkey season on the
special youth turkey hunting day, April 11, 2009. Youth must
be under the direct supervision of an adult 21 years or older
who possesses a valid New Jersey hunting license.
A fine day of duck hunting on great Bay WMA was shared
between Michael Castelli of Galloway and Brooke Devlin
of Tuckerton.
After a longbeard called in by her dad at dawn failed to
present a good shot, 13-year old Molly Nichols persevered
by walking several miles to locate another bird. The turkey
strutted for 15 minutes before coming into range. Molly took
the bird at 20 yards. The 19-pound gobbler, sporting 7/8 inch
spurs and a 10-inch beard, was taken on Peaslee WMA.
