About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedDMZ 25 spans southern New Jersey across portions of Salem, Gloucester, Camden, and Atlantic Counties, covering mixed oak-pine forest, agricultural edges, and Pine Barrens fringe habitat managed through several Wildlife Management Areas. Hunters pursue whitetail deer under New Jersey's standard permit-based season structure, with public access through Glassboro WMA, Peaslee WMA, and surrounding state lands. Spring turkey hunting is available via Turkey Hunting Areas 20 and 21, which overlap this zone.
