Mike Wintroath, AGFC photo</figcaption></figure>HOT SPRINGS — The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission heard recently the first reading of a proposal to change the 2027 Arkansas turkey hunting season date structure.The proposed change, if approved, would move turkey season one week earlier for the vast majority of Arkansas turkey hunters.The change reflects the wishes of the Regulations and Resource Management Committee after robust discussions following a presentation by former commissioners Jim Hinkle and Ken Reeves.“The thrill of turkey hunting is getting to call at a gobbling turkey; there’s nothing like it,” Reeves said. “When you hit that call and one gobbles right on top of it, that’s what we live for.”Hinkle reiterated the statement, speaking to the number of changes turkey hunters have endured in the last decade.“I think this is a minimal change that we are asking for,” Hinkle said. “And certainly, if you came to us a year from now and said, ‘This didn’t work; it hurt our population; Ken and I are going to be for going back. We’re for the birds.’”The proposed season dates will be as follows:Zone 1 — April 12-May 2, 2027Zone 1A — April 12-20, 2027Zones 2 and 3 — April 5-25, 2027Zone 2A — April 5-13, 2027Youth Turkey Hunt, Zones 1, 1A, 2, 2A and 3 — April 3-4, 2027No other regulation changes concerning turkey hunting are being considered in the current proposal.The commission will gather public comment on the revised season through a survey.
