I doubt it. Not anytime soon. State agencies don't want to admit they were wrong.

Can't see Akansas moving it back ever! Glad my home state, Ms. never caved and moved it back to begin with!

Tennessee still not start until the 11th. It is possible this information was not available when they set the 2026 season dates. We will see what happens in future years.

I hope not up here, I will lose 2 days at the beginning of the season. May 1st is still too late here but that's what we will be stuck with. We really need more support for our long range turkey management plan. I am vocal but don't have any juice where it is needed. :OGturkeyhead: Z
