RE: whats harder to hunt?
 

Depends on what part of the country you are in, the deer densities, the turkey densities etc.....I voted equally as hard....too many variables to chose one over the other.

RE: whats harder to hunt?
 

Bowhunting deer and shotgun hunting turkey are equally as difficult.

Rifle hunting deer (150+ yard shots) is easier than shotgun hunting turkey.


Just my 2cents

RE: whats harder to hunt?
 

Both are hard in Michigan but turkeys seemed much harder than deer this year. I shot two bucks this year but I got busted every time I tried to draw on a turkey.

Equally hard...if your talking mature bucks (or older does)vs. toms!

RE: whats harder to hunt?
 

I had to go with deer on this one. Maybe partially because I don't feel near the excitement or the satisfaction on shooting a turkey than I do a deer. I spend countless hours scouting and getting ready for bow hunting deer...turkey, just a couple days and learning how to call is easy. Maybe it's the land I hunt(mostly state land), but I find turkeys generally fairly easy to kill.

good points

a mature whitetail buck makes every other animal on this planet look stupid.

RE: whats harder to hunt?
 

There's a reason why nowadays, majority of the turkey hunters around here get big toms. Can't say the same thing about deer. So the answer to the question is very easy and lop-sided to me.

They both require your attention to details, just different ways!! Equally puzzling, even to the most experienced archers!!

turkeys without a doubt.
