If you could only pick 1 state to hunt turkey in for the rest of your life, what state would it be and why?
Wow, I guess here in florida.
New York because I have better access to land there than my home state of PA
here in my home state of tennessee. im comfortable here.
Probably home state of Kentucky. Just because I know the land.

Probably stay right in WV. hard to argue with access to 54,000 acres of club property and lord knows what in national forest and other assorted WMA's
The same public land I hunt now in PA.
My normal state of confusion..... :funnyturkey: ;D :toothy12: :toothy9: :newmascot:
Good old PA on the same ground I hunt deer, coyotes, fox, and small game. Can't beat land that know like your own living room!
PA here...
Pretty satisfied with Mississippi

I would pick South Carolina. Multiple bird limit, and absolutely beautiful country!
I hope to hunt there and Tennessee.
I love my home state of NH, but a 1 bird limit is a drag.
I'd say here in South Carolina or in georgia
Semper Fidelis
N.Y for me. Beautiful rolling hills and plenty of access to state land.
I'd stay here in Ohio.
There are so many I haven't hunted it would be hard to say. I would love to hunt those beautiful rolling hills of NY, TN is beautiful, TX has so many Rios, but so does OK...thank goodness I don't have to choose!
I would have to say New Mexico. Nothing like chasing those Merriams in thousands of acres of public, Ponderosa covered land.
I'd stay home in Tennessee with hard gobbling Eastern's.
No place I'd rather chase birds than the Missouri Ozarks.
To be honest I have only hunted turkeys in Iowa, so it is hard to say. Although it isn't the "go-to" place for turkey, I would probably stay here. I have access to several pieces of private property and don't have to deal with the crawling nasty things a lot you have to in other states...I HATE snakes!!
Tough one. I would place PA, OH, & NY in a hat and draw one out to decide......
T E X A S!!
im from Mississippi and we have a lot of birds , but I would pick Alabama. they have a five bird limit and a long season. that is if I could hunt private land.
Moss tennessee right on cumberland river....turkey creek road massive amounts of heavy toms the best hunting I have ever been invoved in
Wv is my favorite of the two states I have hunted. Would really like to try Virginia sometime and possibly the Ozarks of Missourri. Love hunting mountain easterns.
Kentucky! I love chasing this longbeards in this mountains.
The one with the most librial tags.
I've only hunted NE Florida and SE Georgia. I truly enjoy hunting the swamps, creek bottoms, and oak hammocks around here, but I'd love to hunt in locations others have mentioned. For now, I'm sticking with the Easterns and Osceolas.
Probably Iowa...or Missouri...or Kansas...or Wisconsin...or Nebraska...or Texas... Wait, maybe Hawaii! ;)
I would stay here in my home state of WV because of a combination of familiarity and thundering gobbles from these easterns.
It's a toss up between NC and tenn for me. Although I truly love Alabama and Florida as well.

I'm glad I don't have to choose. I started on hard gobbling Easterns in Southern IL in both hardwood ridges and Ohio River riverbottoms. I dont get to go home and hunt them every year but would hate to think that I couldn't hunt hard gobbling easterns on my home ground again with family and friends.
Colorado was good to me while I lived there and I love hunting the mountains but most years you can only shoot one bird unless you draw a limited permit.
Nebraska has always been fun so it would be near the top of the list. I've just never particularly wanted to live there.
I dont plan on leaving Montana anytime soon due to the other opportunities here, so I'd probably just say Montana for now. While our numberd arent up there wih other states, opportunity increased this year. It just requires driving all over a really big state. i can drive 8 hrs and still be in MT. I can hunt ponderosa covered ridges and hills, ponderosa covered break country, cottonwood riverbottoms, or fir, spruce and larch covered mountains .....all in one state.
Any state that has a fall season
I don't want to have to choose LOL!
