Turkey season in North Carolina.
North Carolina is Eastern-subspecies country, with peak breeding clustered in early-to-mid April. The Coastal Plain breeds about a week earlier than the Mountains, but unlike the deer rut variation in NC, turkey timing varies less because photoperiod dominates over genetics for spring birds.
