Yep from the last weekend of April in west Tennessee it’s over and too thick to hunt em. Our birds were ready the week before season when the big green up happened.

I concur the push in season will do little to nothing to increase the turkey population, if that’s what they said.
As for turkeys being done in TN in late April, I respectfully disagree with that (though I’m sure it varies a little by location). I had the best hunt last weekend (traditional birthday weekend hunt) I have had in a long, long time. Did my heart good; all of the jakes I got into last year up there made for loads of fun this year.

Hopefully some good 2 yo next season

Yeah bunch of Jake’s on the places over here. At least on the properties I hunt, either the wheat is too tall for the birds or I was walking in vegetation to my chest earlier this week…it wasn’t like that the first two weeks of April

I think the delay will get more hens bred and hopefully have more birds in the future. It will take more than a year to find out. The amount of bird being killed isn’t an issue unless you don’t replace them. Haha here we go again… where’s the proof? They’ve been doing it in Arkansas for years and no improvement. Turkeys for Tomorrow just had prelim results that show no effects on delayed seasons.

Man it burns me up hearing yankees talk about turkey hunting. Cook a meal over a fire with a camera strapped to your head but please stfu about turkey hunting. It’s not the “poor man’s elk hunt” like they say That whole meateater crew has done to western big game hunting what these YouTubers have done to public land turkey hunting. Now meateater is showing and talking more about turkey hunting… Bunch of damn Yankees.

I always kill more early and like early season the most
This year n TN at the place i go - all the guys always tag a turkey first day for many years - this year we had to go later - nobody tagged one first day and only one guy killed n 3 days - the turkeys were w hens and not near as stupid
Amd i guarantee u i will kill more n bama 3/15 to 3/25 than i ever will the rest of the season
Now their numbers may show no change - but in my 40 plus year experience where i hunt tells me this and its a more fun time to hunt early
Hunt the wind - leave it better than you found it - love your neighbor as you love your self We need prayer for our country now more than ever

I hunt as far south in Tn as you can get. There are hens with poults right now. Those hens haven’t been playing the game in 35 days and we still have two weeks left.

Is that a yes or no for my question about Arkansas?
