MO has one of the best turkey populations in the country. They just seem to hide good.

WV has a ton of birds...but for as far south as WV is, their season is late. It starts the last Monday in April, and the birds are less active and pretty quiet.

We still kill birds, but it's not like other states where I have hunted. I've seen as many as a dozen gobblers in a morning without hearing a single gobble.

I live and hunt in Wisconisn but I would imagine that Missouri is one of the best places to hunt the evasive wild turkey, followed by Alabama, Wisconsin, Mississsippi, Texas, Georgia, West Virgina, Louisiana, & Indiana. This is my personal top 10 list from information that I have gathered in the past few years.
