Yes, I have heard quite a few different people say that. I have also heard that the DNR wants a good bit of hens knocked up before we have at them. I don't know how many turkeys are in your area, but where I own, there aren't too many and any help they can get to breed and multiply is a big plus.

Randolph county Elkins season needs to open about 2 weeks earlier. there are not a lot of birds in our county very mountainous and we had some hard winters a couple years ago turkeys are just now starting to make a comback here

Beckley here, and yes the turkey numbers have been on the decline for about 4yrs now. Bad winters, combined with an exploding coyote population have really hammered our flock numbers.

As for our season coming in to late, truth be told its all about the cash. The other states around us come in 1 to 2 weeks earlier, that way many out of state hunters come to WV for opening day.

But it is what it is. DNR makes the decisions and we have to live with them.
