It's Texas! All those loudmouthed Rios...no wait... Missouri, all those big easterns...no...South Dakota has all that public land for those beautiful Merriams...but then, only Florida has Osceolas!

Seriously, it's all in what you want. I've been in SW Texas where I heard over 50 gobblers from one spot when the sun popped up. The Texas hill country produced two big vocal gobblers in two days that both had spurs over 1 1/4".

I've been in Nebraska and watched a whole flock of Merriams fly up at dark into a tree right in front of me. Man I loved those hills.

I've had some unpressured east Texas easterns practically run over me to find that "hen" calling.

I hope to find out what the south Florida Osceolas are like in the next couple of springs. I also hope to hunt WV with a couple of friends soon and I'd love to see what Missouri is like in April. And another trip for Merriams in definitely on my wish list. Maybe Montana next time? Or New Mexico? I hope to be able to answer your question some day...after I hunt some more states!
