Youth season this weekend in Illinois. Hoping to get boys out after them. We’ve had a good population of long beards seen this past fall/ winter.
 
Haven’t been out yet, but leaving in two weeks to try and another couple states on the quest for 49

They pushed our season back. Sucks.
 
Doesn’t open until 4/30 here in CT.
 
Doesn't open here in Oregon until 4/15. Just waiting my turn!
 
Oklahoma has pushed the season back a full month to April 16th to May 16th. They will be almost done mating by then, this is supposed to allow the population to rebound. Also reduced the bag limits. We'll see, ask me in a couple years.
 
Looking forward to taking my grandsons for the Wisconsin youth hunt. Then it's off to Utah and Colorado with the wife for Merriams!

They have done the same here in Alabama. Later opener and closure. Back when I had some pretty good leases the limit was 6, down to 4 I believe now. Haven’t turkey hunted in probably 20 years. All of my old spots are subdivisions now.

The people I know that still hunt seem to be having a good year. The push back of the season allows hens to be bred earlier so the conservation department says. Most say that it has worked pretty well.

They did that to us a couple years ago, the only problem was we didn’t have any low population issues in our area…

Knowing our department of conservation guy that was behind this our area will probably be used as an example of his success…

Our season doesn’t open until next weekend but things are looking good. We were there a month ago and saw 36 birds (30 hens & 6 Jakes) feeding across a field. Later in the day on a neighbor’s property there were at least 6 gobblers grazing but didn't get a picture.

Hope to have something on the ground opening day.
 
3 more weeks for me to wait, good luck everyone!

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Hello:

Thanks .
