At home in Illinois with my buddy per our usual and guiding my brother in law on his first turkey hunt.  If the Lord wills it and the stars line up, maybe Tennessee to call for my other buddy.  We'll see.

Definitely local in TN. The rest depends on GA quota hunts. If I get drawn, I will go to South GA, if not I will go to Central Alabama. Really really want to go west for Merriams but we are expecting a child around end of May so I don't know.

I hunt public ground in New York and New Jersey. I will have 4 permits for the 2 states and hope to nail all 4. My last hunt in PA was in 2014. I miss that state- but my truck is nearly 17 years old.

I really want to hunt TN one time, not far of a drive from the house.
I have a good line on some killer hunting in NY, may head up that way too.

South Dakota and Nebraska for me.  If I tag out in those two states I may hit Kansas on the way home to Missouri.

Post by: Hooksfan on December 20, 2016, 12:58:42 AM
Louisiana, Kansas, and Missouri for sure and then working on making a hunt happen in either Oklahoma, New Mexico or Nebraska.
New Mexico or Oklahoma would be a new state for me.

Last year I hunted in my home state of Arkansas, as well as Kansas and Nebraska.

It will probably be the same three states again this year. Missouri and Oklahoma have been on my list for a couple years now but I just haven't found the time to cover all this ground. If I do well again in KS and NE I will likely put Missouri and Oklahoma on the 2018 calendar.

I asked my wife where she would most like to go and she said Colorado, so there's no doubt we will make a trip out there- probably 2018 or beyond after I can do a lot of research.

My plans are still kind of up in the air, due to shoulder surgery last week, during which my Doc discovered a lot more damage than was revealed during the X-ray and MRI.
I didn't get drawn for a hunt in Florida, but I'll probably try a couple of open hunts anyway. I'll definitely be hunting my lease in SC, and a friend's property in Georgia. Hoping to go to Kansas, Tennessee, Pennsylvania and New York. We'll have to see how it pans out though.  :fud: :OGani:

Will do my usual public land hunt in my home state of Michigan.  Also been researching public land hunting opportunities in Ohio and Indiana.  Have a big 25th Anniversary cruise planned this summer so my out-of-state hunting is going to have to be close to home and done on the cheap this year.

FL and GA for sure and most likely NE. May hit KS again if NE goes well and I also have a KY invite but don't think I can fit it in.

I am "starting" my US Slam with a bow this year. Live in Missouri. Going to try and hit NE, IA, KS, OK, AR, and finish it up on my farm in Missouri. Nebraska for a Merriam and Oklahoma for a Rio are definitely happening. The rest will be time permitting as most of these will be 3 day weekend hunts.

Besides here in Montana, I also hope to hunt Wyoming and possibly South Dakota. I'm also giving consideration to a fall hunt in Idaho. I have an old buddy I visit several times a year and have seen turkey on nearly every visit.

Looks like I'll be stuck here chasin' Osceola gobblers. And that's just fine with me. Hope to get the wife out this spring too. RutNStrutn, you know your always welcome to come along.
