Turkey season in Kentucky.

Kentucky is Eastern-subspecies country with one of the densest turkey populations in the country. Peak breeding clusters in early-to-mid April. The mid-April opener catches the heart of peak breeding, when call-shy lockdown is in full force but the toms that aren't with hens come hard.
