Toughest state

   I agree with Sodfather-- New York because Spring Hunting ends at 12 Noon.

Lots of states end at 12 noon. My buddy who's hunted most every state plus Mexico a few times told me Alabama. Said the birds don't gobble good ftom all the pressure. Unless we've hunted a bunch all we know is what we know. I can't say I personally would venture a guess.

Agree here, I think on opening day in all the states, the birds are easier due to not receiving pressure yet. A Jersey gobbler on public land the final week of the season can be tough quarry. I mostly hunt Eastern's, so I can mostly relate to their states. I think any state can be tough depending whether it's pressured public land, swampy less accessible land etc. Obviously the state that receives the most hunting pressure and limited access in my mind would be on the list of tough states to hunt. Be safe...

Arkansas. The past few years I've went on a lot of nature walks with a gun rather than turkey hunt. Our birds are hurting.

The toughest state seems to always be the one that I am hunting in at the time. 

That probably says more about me than the state..

Hunted Ga,AR,WI,Mn, and Mo all public. AR was toughest. Been there 2 times times. Heard some birds but the only thing I brought home both times was a bad case of poison oak.

The toughest turkey today may be the easiest tomorrow. Which is why we call it hunting.
