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.

I don't recall seeing the 20th but I noticed that it didn't fall on the 3rd Wednesday like it usually is. Doesn't matter to me at this point though. My wife's water broke at 4 this morning so I am going to be busy!!

I don't recall seeing it online, although I usually put it on my calendar as soon as the Hunting and Trapping guide comes out in July ( if you are like me you have to think ahead to get vacation days on the schedule).

I wish the season was starting this week I heard a lot of birds Saturday morning around Patoka Res. in Orange County while mushroom hunting.

There is an article I read that is dated 2011 explaining the late season. The DNR makes a big deal that it is the third Wed in April. This helps guys/gals figure vacation time off, unless it is the 20th then its the 4th Wed....Makes it so simple. LOL If its the 3rd Wed one day isn't hurting the season.
