[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 5610399, member: 10399"] The season would start the last weekend in March about half the time under the “Saturday closest to April 1” framework. I don’t remember when it started in March by design, but I suspect it was late 90s/early 2000s when populations were at all-time highs. So yeah, hunting was good. 90% of what I hunt is West TN river bottoms. Not to argue, but I MUCH prefer hunting after green-up. Before green-up it’s hard to move on a bird at all (no topography to hide behind) and equally hard to set up without a turkey being able to stop at 80 yards, see that there is no hen, and walk off. What about the green-up makes it almost impossible for you in the bottoms? [/QUOTE]
