It depends on the weather, like deer hunting, it seems like right after you have some bad weather, cold, rain, ect.when it turns off nice that is when the it is the best hunting.

RE: Spring Turkey Season?
Welcome AJ, I hunt from the the first of April to the end of May. And I see allot of changes. I usually hunt 4 different states in that time period.Early in the season the birds are not as spooky and they can be found in larger winter flocks.It does no take long for the winter flocks to break up.The weather can also be a challege deep snows can limit my areas to hunt.I have seen 80 degrees to 0 degree wether early in the season. Early in the season the gobblers may be henned up and can be difficult to call away from the hens, instead try to call to the hens and hopefuuly the gobbler will follow suit.As the season goes along birds have had more pressure and can become call shy and very wary.But thhens are laying eggs and that gobbler will be lonely allot more often. The wether is a little better and I can usually get into more areas. Every year is different so get out there and hunt whenever you can.Learn something everytime out there and become awell rounded turkey hunter. Be safe and be PATIENT

I like to hunt early in the season the best, seems toms are eager to get some and will come right in as long as the hens are not submisive. Later in the season I hold off a little later in the day when the hens are nested up, that seems to produce really well for me the last couple of seasons I drew late tags. This year I am hunting the last week in april. Can't freekin wait.

My favorite part of the season is opening day and teh night before. The first gobblle that morning is the best. I stand corrected, my favorite part of the spring seaon is just prior when i take my kids out to a state park, call and a big old tom comes in and they get to see and hear it. The time we spend driving around and visiting togther, that is the best.
