Yep - several of us SW AR folks used to go over to OK and hunt the weekend before our season opened. Won't be doiing that anymore. I guess we could hunt after our season - for whatever that is worth.
Earlier than Oklahoma!
For everyone who feels our season is way too late, I found something to be happy about. I was just marking my new 2012 calendar with all of my important dates (turkey seasons and wife's birthday... in that order), and I found this.
Oklahoma is taking some pretty drastic measures in their Southeastern zone (read: Ouachita mountains... where they have the same problems as the AR Ouachita mountains). Their season there is April 23 through May 6! Bag limit 1! Ouch!

Yeah, but everyone says the turkeys are "gobbled out" by the time our season even opens, let alone after it closes!
Like you though SwampCat, I knew some guys from the Fort Smith area that used to hunt over on the OK side of the Ouachitas, and it sounded like a gold mine back in the day.
It was a gold mine back in the mid 80's.From Heavener south and west was fantastic.
