I'd been checking iowa everyday for my tag. I had hoped I'd be good in zone 6 but obviously not. Here's what I found today:
Off the beaten path
MD, WV, and PA

I'm glad I checked this thread. I see my email. I drew Zone 6 4th season. And there was more people applied than tags....so phew. Glad I got it.
Going to give S FL a try. Will be my first attempt
Once I get home MS opens up
Then in to TX
Once I get back from there TN finally opens up.
The "over" excitement is in full force

I hunted that zone and season last year. Prepare for cold weather, it was in the 20s at night, upper 30s, low 40s during the day, high winds, got up to 50 mph gusts one day and even snowed one day.
I'm going fishing in Islamorada. Wahoo, no turkeys.
PA, MD hopefully bounce around some more next year
Staying local, FL this year. Next years it's on.
Will be scouting tomorrow, can't wait.
Will be starting out in South Florida. Then home to MS, later on will be hitting Ohio, Maine, New York and if I have time will hit Mass.
I'm going to_______ and _______. Then maybe______.

Tennesse, Mississippi and South Carolina
Two states "on the books for sure". Two more "probably's". Two more "if time allows". :icon_thumright:
Florida and my home state Ohio for sure. Possibly South Dakota or Idaho

Will hunt my home state of MS and then a trip to TX.
I have some unfinished business in Indiana. I'll be heading back to finish the job. After that, I may stop back in KY.
Four to remained unnamed states plus one state next door if I can find some birds over there.
South TX, Then Colorado and back home for the Arkansas opener.
I'm just staying home. I'm hoping to get my buddy's kid his first bird. Next year I'm looking at ks, ok, wy
Most likely just local this year, in a couple years when my kid's are graduated from high school, I'll hunt somewhere new every spring.
Heck at this point guys, there's no need not to announce where you're traveling to hunt.....The youtuber has done a terrific job of putting it all out there, so there's no more hidden gems...

Lol. I don't think telling the state you're off to is too big of a deal.
Also, usually when I've been to an area I'm happy to share with someone that I deem appropriate to tell. I've put many people in the right spot. But I wouldn't tell just anyone. But this forum is mostly a good group of folks so there's that.
For the most part, it ain't the people on here that you have to worry about. It's everyone else cruising the forums hoping to have their work done for them.

Fact. And I wouldn't say it publicly. I meant to mention that earlier.
The Youtubers drawing attention to certain states pisses me off as much as anyone. I do like watching Dave. With that said, I've seen a few videos posted so far from 2022 season and I think some Youtubers may be leaving State names as out of title and description of the video? I could be wrong, but I think that'd be huge
I don't think it's a big deal at all to be posting our trips on this forum. In reality, forums are kind of dying so it's cool we have this.
As for me, it's going be: fishing in the keys all of March, then potentially North Carolina April 13-ish, then MD for the opener, mixing it up in Mass/CT towards the end of April, my home state of NJ, then New England as usual in May
Starting March 1st, ending May ~7. Hunting at least 7 states. Not worried about extending my season into mid-May anymore as hunt quality has diminished drastically in recent years as the May states have gotten more and more exposure.
Staying around the house this year (Texas). Acquired permission for a few new places that should fill my tags here. New Mexico if I get a wild hair. But the big trip this year is Mexico for my Gould's in mid-May.
Here / there and yonder .
Back to southern Michigan for the opener on 4/22. Can't wait.
Florida in March
Texas in April
Back home Louisiana rest of April
Nebraska/South Dakota in May
Trying for the slam. Can't wait
I'm headed that direction mid April as I do each year. Can't wait!!! Good luck and safe travels to all.
