Turkey season vs. Deer season

[tomstopper]

I've hunted both since the mid 60's.  No comparison for me.   Turkeys have always been my favorite by far.   I spend a lot of time in the deer woods but rarely deer hunt anymore.  Turkeys are a different story.   I get after them as hard now as I ever did.

I just love being in the woods during the spring and watching it come alive. Can't beat it when one is hammering from the limb and then hear him hit the ground and start your way. Game on.....

Turkey.  By far, way more fun, and a heck of a lot easier getting one out of the woods.

I started squirrel hunting then moved on to rabbits, deer, and didn't get bitten by the turkey bug until later on.  I still enjoy deer hunting, but over time Ive lost my passion for it, and far and away Id say turkey hunting is it for me. 

As someone else said, its easier to get them out of the woods, and easier to clean them.  Id rather kill a typical 2 year old gobbler than a nice 10 point.  I like being in the woods better in the spring than I do in the fall and all things considered its just a no brainer.  Turkeys are the ultimate choice for me.

I love to hunt turkeys as much as the next guy. But if I had to choose one. It would probably be deer. IMO a big mature buck is more challenging to kill. And their is just something about a cold November morning.

Turkey hunting by far! Love hearing a gobbler fire up on a beautiful springtime morning. I've killed my share of deer and just don't have the passion or desire that I once did.

Spring season is first, fall turkey season is a very, very close second.  Deer season a very close third.

I've been a deer hunter longer than a turkey hunter. Always liked going turkey hunting but the bug hit the hardest last spring and it's the first in many that I didn't kill a bird. I'd give the birds a slight edge but not an overwhelming edge. Ask me in the spring though and I'll have a different answer

That apples and oranges. I love spring turkey season and fall archery season season. That would be like saying which if your children do you love more? I love them equally.

 I used to deer hunt from opening day of archery to the last hour of gun season, then cry because it closed.  Lately  I have found myself deer hunting less and less.  The past couple of seasons I have been so excited for spring to come that I didn't even hunt the last couple weeks of the season.  So....it's turkey for me.

I just thank the good Lord that he made them both available to hunt at different times of the year!

I only bowhunt deer and I do still find it excites me, however deer don't gobble so there's really no comparison.
