If you had to recommend one really good DIY hunt for next spring......

If you want a challenge try Pennsylvania on opening day. You can expect hunters cutting you off, people setting up within 60 yards of you, people shooting the birds you are on off the roost, and even getting shot at. LOL public land in PA is pretty tough.

I learned this year that any bird you locate that is close to any easily accessable listening spot should not even be attempted. I would take you out to experience this if you would like. I am in SWPA.

You're spot on....see it every year in PA. I haven't been shot at but know guys who have been. I love the guys that drive up and down the road with their windows down yelping from the truck.

I would look into Tn, I have been hunting Mo for the past 25 years as a nonresident. Hunted Tn last spring. Tn is what Mo was 20 years ago. Nothing to see or hear 15-18 birds a day. I hunted in Wilson County.

Hope this gives you an idea.

You must have been in a poor spot because I still hear and see 20 plus toms a day.

Yeah, I must be.. Would you like to invite me down your way for a hunt?

Only if you take me to your spots in your state.
