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.
