Turkey season in Arkansas.

Arkansas's Eastern turkey population is concentrated in the Ozarks, Ouachitas, and the Delta hardwood bottoms. Peak breeding lands in early-to-mid April. AGFC's later-than-most-states opener intentionally targets the post-peak gobbling window when toms are roaming hard for the last receptive hens.
