Just pick a state where they have a season. It doesn't have to be a hot spot. If there's turkeys it's good. I would go for one of the states that open in October. As winter comes on they get into bigger winter flocks and pile up on food. When you find them it's great, but they are harder to find then in early seasons when you have many small flocks running around. If you do it once you'll get hooked. You'll hear more turkey sounds then you ever imagined.
