After reading the replys to my post about out of state hunting I'm about to get the fever again.
So what's your favorite out of state hunt and why?
Thanks!!
Black Hills of South Dakota....
The solitude, loads of wildlife, and beautiful country.
We have other places in other states a lot closer where we can hear more and kill more turkey, but I have to choose the Black Hills just for the overall experience.
Oklahoma, cause they got a few turkeys.
KY I called in or had a hand in 7 turkey deaths in 2 days.
TRKYHTR
North central NE. Tons of birds and you can take more than one per day.
Prairie birds in South Dakota, there a few of them there also
Nebraska!
South Dakota, either the prairie or the Black Hills. At one time, in the not so distant past, it was Missouri.

Same for me. It's prime run-n-gun country!
Has to be New Mexico for me....I love the solitude of 10,000 feet up in the Rocky's in the ponderas pines with Merriam's screaming across the mountains.
Colorado
I really need to branch out this year....
I've been all across the south but never been anywhere that I felt was just absolutely beautiful and always wanted too. Every year I say I'm going to but then end up chasing the local (relatively speaking) birds all season.
NE if you do it right you can kill 6 birds on one trip, and multiple per day.
Black Hills of South Dakota , it was neat to have Mt Rushmore in the background of the turkey photo,such Beautiful country. I loved Deadwood, you could also go to Sturgis, the Badlands,Crazy Horse, Custers National park and we went to a dig site for the woolly mammoth. The only down side is you could only harvest 1 turkey unless you got a prairie tag.
WOW ... such great ideals!!! If I only had the time and the $$$$$ ....LOL
Keep em coming...
So far, it's Kansas. Birds everywhere! :OGani:
I have only hunted Easterns in Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama, so it really isn't a different experience with each location. I guess I would have to say Alabama, because now that I live in Tennessee, that trip consists of four days of camping and three days of hunting on public land. Waking up in a tent, drinking camp coffee before heading out to hunt adds so much to the experience. Plus, anyone that has hunted both private and public land understands the rewards of killing a bird on heavily hunted public ground. They should be a subspecies all their own.
However, I have my eye on a place in texes where I hope to go in the next year or so to chase Rios.
Texas...so far.
I've hunted Texas, the deep south, and Midwest in varying terrain, but I still love chasing turkeys the most in the MO woods. Better turkey numbers in other areas, but I lam partial to the hills and timber.
Kansas, because I do well with nice birds, and I get to see one of my best buddys while I'm there. Taking my future wife on her first Turkey hunt there this year. Looking forward to it.
Ponderosa pine country chasing white tipped Merriams.
Nebraska. It gets ugly there real fast
Anywhere I can hunt w/good folks and gobblin' birds! :z-guntootsmiley:
Nebraska,but i also enjoy hunting in florida.
Kansas alot of birds good people and hunt with good buddys
