[QUOTE="wkyhunter, post: 5093417, member: 7881"] The Kentucky side (and I'm sure the TN side) had turkeys when very, very few other areas of the states had any. The first legal season was in the Kentucky Woodlands, a portion of what's now LBL in the early 60s. I assume sometime in the mid 70s they re-stocked the TN side with out of state birds. I know the the late 70s they re-stocked the KY side with turkeys from MO. and shut down the hunts. Think after a year they opened from 68 to the state line and after that opened it all up. After the re-stock the population exploded. If i recall correctly the reason for re-stocking was in-breeding causing thin shells and low hatches. [/QUOTE]
