States with good populations

[Sanders153]

Hey fellas,

I looking to hunt away from my home state of Oklahoma next year, and I've never never done that. What are some states that have a good bird numbers from everyone's experiences? I don't want to take anyone's spots or anything, I'm just looking for some places where I can hear gobbles again and have a decent chance of finding turkeys. Any help/feedback would be deeply appreciated

According to YouTube, Tennessee is the place to be!

I heard there was one left in Florida, it hasn't really been confirmed. It might have just been another big foot.

Not looking to hurt another state or move in anyone's turf.. Would just like to hear a gobble again, and actually have somewhat of a chance to enjoy turkey hunting with birds around again is all

   Arkansas has a good population.  Make a Beeline for that State next Spring.

There's a whole lotta states with great numbers of birds. It will take some homework to find out which part of which state to hunt. The Midwest, northeast and southeast all have great turkey hunting for easterns. But there are some areas that don't have many birds. Many states publish county and/or WMA harvest data to get a general idea. Just keep in mind, if harvest numbers are really high, you're gonna have a lot of company in the woods. Good luck.

Info your getting is not very helpful. Turkey hunters are worse then fisherman about their favorte areas and spots. I would not expect to much help here. However, its simple to research on the internet. If your interested in a guided hunt start calling outfitters or you may have better luck asking for recommeded outfitters. DIY, there is tons of public land and a good start is to pick a state and a sub species and start callin on biologists, game wardens or if you can visit an area talk to locals. It can be time consuming but fun. If your determined you will find the info you need. I have hunted several states for turkeys and deer through internet research. But like in poker no one is going to show you their hand and the info you get is always suspect. You may have noticed we have a bunch of jokers on this site. LOL
