I completely agree with this concept PCP......Out of curiosity, how long was turkey seasons back then??



If my memory is right, it was 3/20 to 4/25 back in the early 60s when I started hunting. I have seen a brochure from the 50s that I think had the same dates; I'm sure it had the bird limit. I've been curious about the history of the season length and limit, but it's hard to find information from the 40s.
