Turkey season in Kansas.
Kansas is one of the few states with substantial populations of two subspecies — Rio Grande in the west and Eastern in the east — with hybrid populations through the middle. Rio Grande breed first; Eastern peak about a week later. The mid-April opener catches the front edge of Rio Grande peak breeding.
