Public land in any of the southern states is tough! But public land in southwest Mississippi is by far the hardest I have ever had to hunt a turkey! There are plenty of birds, but there is plenty of pressure to go with it.  Those birds have heard every call in the book.

Have stomped quite a few heads down that way in the Homochitto National Forest. Great hunting, but like you said, TONS of pressure. God bless.

Alabama!

What?  You didn't like hunting the thick stuff and hills here?

I say the toughest state would be be Alabama. I never hunted there but my dad and grandpaw would always tell me about how the birds are always henned up and this and that. Overall I am pretty sure Easterns are the absolute toughest birds to hunt.

Although I've only hunted 3 states for spring gobblers, my vote goes for Florida public land with no quota hunt needed. I've looked at license plates and they read like a Walt Disney World parking lot. Every Tom, Dick and Harry with visions of getting their slam and a thin wallet like me, hit these places every spring.  :fud:

Have hunted public land in MS,SD, FL, MO, and KS.

Those public land Osceolas are pretty slick....But so are the MS public land gobblers...Hard to pick one which one is tougher..Had it not been for the outlaws, baiting, and roost shooting, the Florida birds would have definitely been easier than the MS birds. People always say that are tighter lipped, but that has to due with the terrain more than anything. You just can't hear them gobble as far in those thick swamps as you can in other terrain.

I have ran into my fair share of disrespectful resident and out of state hunters in both MS and FL too..

If I had to pick a the "toughest" state i'd go by the # days hunted per harvest...And in that case it'd be public land in MS.
