Default Best state to turkey hunt?

I was just wondering what state has the best turkey hunting. After today, I think I would have to nominate New Haven Ct. or at least the suburbs. I've been doing ride alongs all day an have seen a ton of turkey's everywhere. I have to believe their as bad as the deer are in the Md. suburbs.

Thank's to the N.W.T.F. Turkey's are growing in record numbers in just about every eastern & midwestern state.
So what ever state your hunting in you should do real good on bagging your bird.
Good luck & be safe out there.

I think ID is the only one you can bag any of three subspecies in: Eastern, Merriam's, or Rio.

Unfortunately AK is out of the running but we make up for it in other ways.

I would say it is probably great in all 49 and Canada where they hunt turkeys. Way I look at it, and maybe because it is from being gone so much and missing, but any day and any state or provinence you can hunt in, that is a good day and a good state/provience to hunt! [8D]

ONbuckhunter, are you still see the flocks in the fields---seems within the last 2-3 weeks the birds have thinned out a bit--think they're already onto knowing the opening date for the season is April 25th .

Yep, killed my first mature gobbler in Francis Marion NF. The snakes sure did put an interesting twist on turkey hunting!
