Most pressured public land

[Basin_hunter]

Southern Half of Michigan.If you hunt state land you better plan on seeing more orange than you will see in a punkin patch come opening day of deer season.Turkey season ain;t quite that bad.

That sounds like some of the public land in Louisiana for deer season !

Everywhere is hunted hard in Mississippi........

Homochitto National Forest in southwest Mississippi

I think any Public area with easy access and close to a major city gets hammered.  I went to Mississippi State (Go Dawgs!!!)  and I can tell you the college guys hit the National forests pretty hard all week long.
Mississippi gets a nod.
Florida Public gets it pretty good too.  I was in line 2 hours before daylight to get a spot to kill an Osceola in 2001. Over 300 people begging to hunt and only about 150 allowed to enter.  I swear I thought I was in line at a B.A.S.S. Classic!!!
It was worth it though!!  Shot my Osceola on Public Land Baby!!!!

Mississippi IMO

[Ol'Mossy]

Pennsylvania.

I'll second that

[sippy cup]

Ive hunted VA its hit pretty hard especially by PA and MARYLAND hunters

[Beretta686]

The Black Hills of South Dakota. I can remember going there and only having 2 trucks in the hotel parking lot. Last time I was there no vacancy at any hotel. All turkey hunters.

Set up on birds to have other hunter walk up to the tree they were roosted in. It was worse than anything I have every experienced on any other public land.

Montana and Idaho, never saw another hunter.

New York is crowded also !!!!!

Saddle up for the first spring opener in the nation in the southern region of Florida, general hunt- no quota, then come talk to me.

WHichever WMA in Arkansas that has ducks at the time.  You just think public land is crowded until you experience this.

If you can Kill a gobbler on public land in Ms ,  I believe you can go anywhere and kill anything.    It anit just the amount of folks hunting ,  its the type of local guy that is a 5th generation outlaw/woodsman that seems to watch where I park my truck and hunt the same birds I hunt.   They are mean and dangerious,  I can say that cause I was at at one time one of the worst offenders.    We use to sit around in June and july and think of creative ways to mess the out -of staters up.  ( now I anit proud,  as a matter of fact I am sorry and ashamed) but this is an example of what a public land Ms turkey hunter is up against ,  and with cell phones and other tech.  it has gotten worse.

I think it is about time you moved to another area in the Black Hills...We have made two trips over the past 5 years and have only ever encountered 1 other hunter actually hunting. And all he did was ride around blowing a crow call.

Florida would be my second choice, and the 2 hunts I have been on were even quota hunts.. Outlaws (roost shooters) are bad there too.

The only reason I don't rank it ahead of Mississippi is that the Florida hunters where we have hunted aren't near as willing to get a mile off the road as the MS hunters are.

CA At lest the hunters in MS and AL know how to hunt. How would you like 1000's of guys stomping around the few pieces of public ground that have no clue how to turkey hunt except what they see on TV.

PA gets my vote, shot a gobbler on the first day several years ago and when it was done flopping there were 5 other guys standing around me.
