You never answered the question . How many ? 

As many as you are legally allowed.

I think the New Jersey Spring Turkey Limit for each Man should be 5 Gobblers Max.

  There are probably  plenty of very Skilled Spring Turkey Hunters who are taking chances away from less Skilled Hunters who are struggling  to take a Gobbler on Public Lands.

  This thread is similar to an older one.

   Again 5 Gobblers Max is more then generous.  That is the Alabama Experience!

  I speak as a Skilled Turkey Hunter-121 Down.

  Remember  your fellow hunter who does not possess  your skills.

 Give that guy a chance- don't  go out for Gobbler #12.

I’m hunting state woods A week. Never hunted state woods for turkeys. Been hunting deer for 30 yrs in this area and never seen a turkey. This yr turkeys were all over. Found were they roost. I’m just going there hoping for the best. Just worried about other hunters.

Not arguing but wondering what your opinion would be based on.  The current system seems to work as harvest numbers remain pretty constant over the years.

I watched a hen attack a red tail who was going after her poults last year was a really cool interaction to watch in the woods 

[Bones]

Once the hawks know there’s an easy meal they won’t give up until there’s no more.

I watched for years hawks sitting in trees on field edges waiting for hens and chicks to come out.

18 or so chicks between a few hens gone in a couple days.

every year that happened now there’s a few old hens and a few toms left no young birds and last year no chicks

It seems a lot of people want to tell others how many is enough around the state.  To me as I stated earlier in thread I will take 2 maybe if not just one because that’s my preference.  That doesn’t mean the next hunter is a bad person if they take 20.  It’s an individuals choice and I’m all for that 100%!

And there's your dinner

The few people who take multiple birds throughout the season are not killing all birds from a single flock but usually over 1000’s of acres throughout the weeks.  Taking two birds in a given area may be too much for a particular area where taking 10 birds from a target rich area may be ok.  As for letting birds go or not hunting after being successful to let the inexperienced hunter a chance really makes no difference.  I hunt 99% public land and usually have birds within range daily many times AFTER the morning crowd has left and right up to the last week of the season. You have to make your own opportunities and be mobile.  I hunt everyday of the season most days bringing a shooter with me as ive killed enough turkeys in my life. Special ing seasons have very little affect on overall population and not one single hunter can put a hurting on a particular flock without the use of illegal means.  Just go hunt, have plan a, b, and c ready, be mobile, be safe and have fun!

[Gobblengrunt]

Given what i said above i do believe any zone should be limited to one bird a week.  The bird a day limit is clearly to grab more money out of our pockets.  I never seen this state “manage” any population of animals for quality
