Title: New Jersey turkey draw
Post by: hotrod3h on February 23, 2015, 07:58:06 PM
New Jerseys's draw for their turkey tags ended Sunday. Anyone know how long it normally takes to find out the results ? First time applying for me so I'm anxious to see how I did. Thanks.

Thanks. I was hoping it didn't take long time to notify you. I put in for Unit 21.

you can go online to check your status.  Currently I'm 'pending draw period", whatever that means.  It will be complete this weekend, notification emails go out 03/02.

Pending means the lottery isn't "drawn" yet. You're application is in and correct but you have not yet been rewarded the permit yet. I understand in the southern part of state the permits sometimes do sell out. I hope you guys get em

I have generally been able to pull tags for zone 20 as a non-resident. I was also getting the leftover tags pretty easily when they became available.  Its been about 4 years since I have applied though.

Looks like I'll know by March 2nd. That's soon enough. I hear there's good turkey hunting there but I doubt there's a turkey behind every tree but that would be nice though!

Got the e-mail a little while ago. I got one out the two I applied for which is what I expected.

I was drawn for my 1st choice: Season A.  However, it lists the start date as 04/21.  I thought it started 04/20??????

Don't know where you saw a start date of 4/21. To my knowledge the start is 4/20 and that's what I've planned for.

called F&W, it's an error on the permit web site.  04/20 is confirmed.
