The last of five seasons in Southern Illinois comes in on April 27th, almost as your's is just beginning. Turkeys are responding well to calling,most of my buddies tagged out for the first season, and now are awaiting their next drawn season. My next opportunity comes in this Friday and I'll be taking a black powder double barrel.

It's April 15 here in E. Texas.  Yep, way down here, mid April every year.  They don't want us killing many birds.  I don't see many hens when I'm hunting.

Still waiting here too, 4-29. We already had some warm weather, and the vegetation is coming on strong and will more than likely be full by the start. I realize they start our Season based on nesting hens, which I'm guessing most others States do also? So I can understand South States starting before North, but what kills me is looking at some South harvest pics that might of started 3-4 weeks ago and their vegetation bloom at the time is really not that different compared to ours at the same timeframe, which makes one wonder at times here?
