Where would you go?

[RussM311]

With the 2018 season ending, it is time to start looking for 2019....   As a journeyman turkey hunter, I have been blessed to be able to hunt several states in pursuit of gobbling toms.  I regularly hunt Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and alternate Missouri and Kansas.    I think I would like to reach out to a different state in 2019 to give their birds a chance to humiliate me.  So, my question is:   where would you go for a public land 7-10 day hunt, if you could go at anytime from March through May?  Considering the amount of birds, available public land, and ease of access to that public land.   Where?    Why??

With up to 10 day no where is too far and I'd want a decent bag limit. Nebraska, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee is where I'd start not in any particular order or the upper north east and hunt New York or Maine later in the year. Or fly north west and chase birds in Washington, Oregon, Idaho in terrain not like anything you've seen yet for turkeys.

Wisconsin is a good change of pace.

In 2019 I would like to get into PA and try to hunt once. I am already starting to plan a trip for 2020 to Oklahoma (Do I need snake boots there? Kingfisher County if that helps) where I have family. I normally go there every 2 to 3 years for CHRISTmas but in 2020 I am going to go in the spring because I would like to try to get a Rio Grande.

I am dying to get out to Spokane, Washington! I hunt the Black Hills all season and love mountain birds!

If anything I would hit the southeast or maybe the Ozarks of Missouri.

Either south Dakota or Colorado is on my short list!

I'll be in Colorado in July and will be scoping out some places to hunt Merriams next year.

I doubt I'll ever have the privilege to complete  US slam but I want to see and hunt as many states as I can in my lifetime.

South Dakota, Nebraska, Montana. You can hunt mountains, plains, and my favorite, the in between ground.There is lots of public land, and if you are by yourself, people will let you on, sometimes. Don't go to farms that look like yuppies live there.Look for the old farms.
