Are Northren States Turkeys Now Just As Wary As Southern States Turkeys Or No?

Pressure = education to all animals. Turkeys are no different. More people hunting turkeys up here so more pressure. Get off the beaten path and you will be more successful. That is my experience at least.

In Kenny Morgan's book he.talked of MO. Ozarks and Mississippi as the tuffest birds I agree there tuff but I think more cuzz there 100 percent wild. I've been in several states and even with lots of pressure they were not as challenging as MO gobblers in saying that any time any day one may run right up and beg you to kill him.

Being from Missouri and first time going  to Kansas shooting mainly hybrids , it was a gravy turkey hunt.
Couldn't believe what you could get away with and still kill birds.

Hardest birds are in the Ouachita mountains of Southeast Oklahoma and Southwest Arkansas
