geeze they just keep adding these units was always 1-4 4 beinf SW KS draw hunt only for residents now there is 6 units only a pain in the ass more units & imaginary lines??? KS has loads of turkeys
 
The way I read the regs is you can still shoot 4 birds in the fall 2013 and 2 birds in the spring 2014 in units 1,2,3,5 and 6.
 
turkey limit

for the spring of 2014, in 5 of the 6 units you can shoot just two birds. that's down from this year in most of those units. the response i was hoping for is why. in unit 1 i am or at least this past spring ass deep in the birds. what has happened to the change in the eastern half of the state. dunno!!

cheers
 
The spring turkey limit has never been more than 2 birds as far as I know.

The fall turkey limit has been up to 4 birds in some of the units (the eastern). The northwest part of the state has always been 1 I believe.
