I’ve been turkey hunting in western Winston County for 20+ years and it really makes my blood boil that our season opens so late…Nobody can ever provide a legitimate answer to this question!!! If anyone ever tells you “it’s because DCNR wants the turkey population in that area to increase”, then ignore the heck out of them!!! There’s way more turkeys in that area than many other places across the state whose season opens in March 🤬
