    Well I'm a idiot, I know shocking to some, just went and got fall archery turkey tag and also picked up new regs book. Looking through the book I saw they added a fall shotgun turkey season. Woulda got one of them if knew that, heck of a lot easier especially since never turkey hunted before just figured see them all the time so what the heck.

    Anybody else know about this?

    Hell idk, I always thought it was just archery. They had it highlighted in book to which usually means changes from year before. I always knew about the bow season in fall but like said never messed with it so didn't really pay too much attention. Maybe they just changed the price this year and that's why it was highlited in book.

    To think I thought had something new ha, I guess disregard

    I usually take the afternoon off to get out and hunt opening day. I am usually just so jacked up for the season to start I just need to get out in the woods. All of the crops are still standing around me so I am not sure how its gonna go but I am damn sure gonna give it a try!
