Default Your Spring Season Length

Just curious, but I was wondering how long some of you other hunters spring turkey seasons are this year. Here in Missouri, our season runs for 3 weeks, opening in late April. Our bag limit is 2 birds total, only 1 can be killed the 1st week, and 1 per day the last 2 weeks for a total of 2 bearded birds per hunter. Kind of wondering how our season stacks up against others.

While it will vary some from region to region, the overwhelming part of Texas will have a season from 1st part of April to mid May, for a total of about 6 wks. 4 turkeys combined fall and spring, gobblers only in spring.

Nebraska has an archery season of around March 24 - May 18 and two shotgun seasons April 12-20 and April 21 - May 18. Similar to our archery deer season but backwards, you can start off the season in full winter gear and end with a sun tan and heat stroke. I tend to hunt archery and early shotgun and leave the late season to the crowds and TICKS!!!
