The long spring turkey season and the fact that later in the season the toms are easier to pull off the hens makes for some faster turkey hunting action and more suitable for spouses and children. Later in May the hens are quicker to leave the roost area for their nest and the toms more likely to move off as individuals in multiple directions than in groups. All this combines into the turkey hunter with a sexy hen call and decoy setup to attract the toms that will always be looking for an opportunity to find another hen.
Additionally, later in the spring season the weather is warmer which always makes for more enjoyable hunting conditions.
