Season goes from April 18th through May 3rd here. We're always late compared to other states. We only allow two gobbler tags (one jake tag for youth) to be taken only by a bow or shotgun (no rifle/pistol caliber). Can't tag two on the same day, either. I use a 10 gauge, longest shot was at 82 yards - I don't like to play around.
Maybe this year they will cooperate better. Last year they would not respond to calling, I had to bag my two purely on ambush. The first one I just sat silent in a field with a "pretty boy" male decoy and two 3 year olds came running up to whoop him around 9am on opening morning. Second one I belly crawled through a creek drain up to a row of bushes on the edge a field where I could hear him drumming/gobbling with some hens. I raised up and shot what ended up being the subordinate 2yr old to the dominant bird. Oh well, he's still around for this year!
