Tough question because there are many variables...

Cost and travel expenses are factors. Gaining access to productive lands another factor.

In Washington, I believe you can get 3/4 of your grand slam so that would be a selling point. For specific sub species, you could breakdown states and have some good opinions... IE: Texas for Rios

id say PA, they are a tough bird to get here w/ all the hunters but if you get one most of the time you worked very very hard to get it and you feel a lot better about it. plus its so beautiful here in PA

Well, I've hunted in 17 different states for turkey and my vote is "OHIO"...without question !!! The worst is PA...it has by far the most ambush specialists..guys that sit there and wack em' on the way to the field or to a decoy...and this from a 38 year veteren of the turkey wars in my home state..if you've actually called a spring gobbler in, in PA on open ground consider yourself a calling expert and a real turkey hunter !!

Well I've did it a number of times in Pa. just ask jalvja lol

The Best , can be taken into a number of different terms. For Population count TX can not be beat. If your looking at country and want to see the whole show of turkey hunting , then SD is the Place. If your looking for a challenge then a Place like PA or Florida or even here in Ontario.

All and All any place can be great if you hit the right time and the birds are working the way they should...BT
