Dogwoods bloom here consistently about February 25th thru March 15. Been that way for 11 years since I moved this far south. By the second week of April, it’s full foliage green, hot and muggy most every morning, and fairly miserable. But most of all - the hunting is pretty dang slow. It has been several years since I read my Tenth Legion but seems like that is usually a good time to commence hunting them.

Peak dogwood bloom for the entire southeast is middle of March- middle of April. Turkeys gobble year round and breed for several months mainly during hunting season. Hunt them when they are in season otherwise you are breaking the law and are as bad as a poacher imo.

I've always had trouble with the Gobblers being sooooooo "Henned Up" in March. That's why most of my killing has been the first 2 weeks in April after more of the Hens have been Bred/Setting. That’s a good point too. I’ve never really understood why the dates are changed/micromanaged when you’re only supposed to kill 5 a season in the first place

I hunted at a commercial lodge 30 years ago with maybe 8 other hunters. I was the only one with a shotgun, they gave me a load of shitt about it....till I killed the first and only gobbler killed.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....
