Oklahoma, Missouri, and maybe Kansas

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Good ol' Louisiana! Hoping a Texas Rio hunt materializes over at my Uncle's with my pawpaw, or a quick Mississippi trip over to our teammate Tiny's place. Working as a Defense Contractor for the Army pays the bills and supports the habit, but makes time off tough. They "prefer" all time off be done in July & December during the soldier's block leave.

Southern zone of New York. Unfortunately, I will not have much time available to add another trip outside of my home state. Good luck to all.

Only 13 days.. March 20th is the opener here in SC.  We went and listened last Saturday and found 5 different roosted birds.  One location will be an easy approach, and the dominant bird gobbled for over an hour. Heard a lot of fighting going on too.  I think he will be my first target.

Ky, Ohio, and trying to drum up a hint in TN...... If everything goes well I might possibly slip in a hunt in Indiana or by a fat chance could ends up in Kansas.....
