When planning an out of state hunt, how concerned are you with how that hunt falls with your resident hunt season?
Do you purposely plan/consider hunts before or after your home state's season?
Before, but I archery hunt and some states have early archery season. My state doesn't.

I plan my hunts around when hens should be nesting.
I either plan the hunt before or after the first week of La season. I hunt the La opener and am usually done by the first week and on to other states.
If it's a different sub-species, that gets priority. If it's the same as my home state, I like to be home for the opener.
Going to try to do before and after next spring. Just like to be here for 1st week.
The way I look at it, I am usually going out of state for a reason. Usually , but not always, to hunt a different sub-species. I try to time my OOS hunts to increase my chances of success and optimize my investment. Sometimes I hunt OOS to lengthen my season. Lots of different factors, but I agree with Gooserbat in general due to optimizing my chance of success.
I'm lucky enough to reside in a state with one of the worst turkey populations in the SE, so I spend as little time as possible here. I will typically give AR the first week, then I'll be back on the road.
Thanks all!
