Any suggestions for a mid May hunt. I don't care what subspecies. Two states would be nice.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons. However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

I'll be in KS in May. If things go to plan I'll be rolling out on May 7th.

Indiana comes in late this year. 4/27-5/15 this spring. Last year I didn't get mine til 5/8 and they was just getting good. Probably not where you were thinking but a possibility. I hunt the Ohio river counties of the Hoosier NF. PM me if you want any seat o the pants local knowledge.

Colorado and Utah. I like to wait until the second week of May or so before I chase the Merriams in these two states. First of all, the longer you wait the better the access to National Forest land because of the melting snow, and best of all, everybody else goes home by then....

PA and MD treated me well last May. WV is another good option. I don't think PA and WV seasons come in until the last week of April.

Wv is supposed to be opening a week earlier this year. Almost the same time as Md. Md always opens on a Sat. And Wv should be openin the following monday. The 16 th and 18th respectively. Md has a five week season compared to Wv's four week. MD also allows all day hunting the last two weeks of season. Haven't confirmed those dates but should be right.

I like the KS and MO option in that timeframe. Hunt MO first, then KS. That allows you 4 birds to harvest. I allow 5 days hunting, 7 total for round trip.

Ohio and WV open April 18. PA opens April 30. Lots of good public land options in all 3
