Ok got to vent I think or eat crow one or the other. Back in December and even early this year I distinctly recall looking at the DNR website for the turkey dates. I have to pick dates in December. The web showed 4/20-5/8 as the Turkey season this year. We are alway the 3rd Wed and open the Wed after KY, OH and MO. So now I see today. only because a buddy told me, that season is NEXT WEEK UGH!!!!
My question is- did anyone else see the 4/20 date? Am I losing my mind? When did they change the 4/20 date if they did.......I am crushed today, but would have felt worse shooting a bird tomorrow.

They sent out the hunting seasons on January 24 this year. Not sure where you got that date from? Last year was the 22nd.

It's the first Wednesday after April 20th. If they printed the 20th as opening g day, it was wrong.

I've had the date of the 27th for a while now. That's when I submitted my vacation request for. Not sure when they actually set that date.

I was wrong. I am not saying I didn't see the 20th anywhere. The issue I guess I have is that there is an article about turkey season in 2011 when this occurred before. The issue is 1 day doesn't make a difference. If making the date easy so someone care schedule vacation time, then make it the 3rd wed every year.

Kentucky did it for years also. Came in the 15th, the Monday after the 15th and I think one other formula before they went to a Saturday opener. Maybe one day Indiana will have enough birds to add another weekend and they will do something different. |

My issue is this- They state it is for ease of the hunter to remember the dates, but adding the after the 20th just confuses the situation. 1 day isn't a big deal in the hunting realm, but a week can be huge. I messed up, it is my fault I didn't know the rule.
