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.

i think just about everywhere has tons of turkeys anymore.

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.

Yup, thanks to you guys, us folks in Ontario Canada enjoy excellent turkey hunting. Lotsa birds here and the population is still growing.

i would have to say sc for one i live here plus we can harvest 5 birds a season our season opens march 15 th and april 1st till may 1st .we have tons of birds here .

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 .

Im still seeing the odd flocks in the fields. Their in smallerharems now though. I'll be doing some scouting this next couple of weeks.

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