Louisiana · Wild turkey

Turkey season in Louisiana.

Louisiana is Eastern-subspecies country, with peak breeding in late March and early April across the state. The early-April opener catches post-peak gobbling — when hens are heading to nests and the remaining toms cruise hard for the last receptive birds.
