I've hunted 7 different states and agree with many that turkeys are turkeys anywhere, and the most difficult to kill consistently are in areas that receive the most hunting pressure or have less turkeys available to hunt. Timing is key too. Even the best areas with solid turkey numbers can prove not so easy to kill them at the wrong time. Even a few days can make all the difference. With that said, the toughest turkeys I have personally hunted are public land AL, MS, & AR......lots of pressure on each.
