What's Your Opinion?

Best would be Nebraska, so many birds. Toughest, Merriam's at 8800ft in Colorado but the most beautiful country.

What is your favorite state to hunt Gobblers? What state do you think is the toughest to hunt? And why to both questions!

Difficult to pick a favorite as I feel blessed to hunt the ones that I have.  With that being said I have had both difficult and easy to kill birds in every state that I have hunted.  The diversity of terrain & landscape across the country makes each hunt it's own unique experience.

Of the 7 states I have hunted, my favorite would probably be home state of Arkansas, followed closely by the Missouri Ozarks....just so many great memories from both over the years!!!  I enjoy the hunting in KS and NE too,  but give me a hardwood ridge or hardwood bottom any day.

The hardest?  I have figured out turkeys can be stubborn any where you hunt and timing makes all the difference, but Alabama and Mississippi usually offer a tough challenge.  Ton of pressure on public land, and we usually hunt early in the season.  I would like to hunt after April 1 at some point.  Have killed turkeys in both, but always had to work for them.  But, that makes it so much more fun and rewarding.

Favorite: My home state of Illinois - Toughest - Southern MO public ground and Mississippi public ground are tie!

Alabama. Of course it's the only state I've hunted turkeys in.

I really love seeing folks come here to turkey hunt the first time, look at the woods we hunt and ask, "How do you hunt turkeys in that stuff?"

So true! A work client came into town last year opening week for a shutdown that got pushed, so I offered him a gun and to stay at my camp and hunt if he wanted. He is from Oklahoma and literally stood on the camp porch, looked at the pines and asked how can turkeys live in there? Much less me see one to shoot it!!!

He hunted 6 mornings and only killed 1 turkey - and there were turkeys there.

I've hunted a few and have yet to go to one I didn't like.
NE was great, KS was beautiful but the hailstorm and cold front ran us out.
OK ain't beautiful but it's full of turkeys.
TN is beautiful but I haven't been very lucky there.  The people were very friendly and helpful.
The folks in FL were awesome and the public hunting was tough.

I'd go back to any of 'em.
