On my trek down I-69 and back to Henderson, Ky this week I would guess I saw at least a hundred turkeys. Every group had at least 1 gobbler in full strut! I figured I might see a few turkeys but not quite that many!
Sure makes me wonder about how DNR comes up with April 26th as an opener?!
One of the fellows I was working with in Henderson said he is taking his grandson this Saturday for the Kentucky Youth opener in Hancock county about 10 miles south of Tell City, Indiana (across the Ohio River of course)!

Heard one gobbling at 6:34 (cst) this morning. Been seeing strutters for over a week. Anyone know if the hens are breeding yet? If so, may be a tough season. But always fun!!!!!!

I've been seeing strutting here in SW Ohio, Butler county, for almost a month.

Just starting to see them do their thing in LaPorte and StJoe counties. Waiting on the draw results to be posted for the FWA's before getting too excited.

I'm going tomorrow to check a few spots out for my son. He is signed up for the youth weekend and the final weekend of the season. |

My boy is 6 and a little impatient, so I will take him to my folks for the youth hunt since close to the house. |

Do they pick which area you get to hunt when they do the draw or do you pick when you sign in upon arrival for your hunt? |

I saw one two days ago fanned out. They are feeling it but still not warm enough for breeding.

Do they pick which area you get to hunt when they do the draw or do you pick when you sign in upon arrival for your hunt? You get free run of the park. |

My wife showed me a pic from her Facebook or some online news that someone hit a turkey on the highway and it went almost all the way through their windshield right by galena and 7 springs. |
