In my area .... a turkey by FAR!

LOL

I bet you come back[8D]
For the record there is no need to tell us you're done, most just stop posting and we figure it out[8D]

C'mon now Jeff. Do we need to start puilling old threads?

You know why he's done Germ................

We need a stats man here, figure out the succes rate based on time scouting, time hunting, who really takes both on the same way...etc. Dont forget location, we all know thats the main factor!

I would say that i have hunted about 50% of the TOTAL time of the season over the last 4 years of my career, which is reasonable for both. Now personally i have killed 5 deer and 3 turkeys. I have just two months for deer and one month of turkey hunting. This puts me at .042 deer per huntingday and .050 turkeys per hunting day. Now for convenience sake, i would say that my scouting time is split for both deer and turkey with around 5 months break between my two seasons. BUTI failed to take into consideration that i can only hunt turkeys until noon which cuts my days in half putting me at .025 turkeys perhunting day. I have been pursuing both of these for the same amount of time so i would say that i have equal amount of skills between the two. Also i hunt both primarily in the same woods.

Just as i suspected, turkeys ARE harder!

Ok i was hestitant to jump into this one because many people would point out that im still young and wouldnt know...But ive been hunting both deer and turkeys for 6 years here in ohio with bow and gun, and turkeys are by far the hardest to kill. Ive killed 4 deer and only 1 turkey.

Some of you guys need to understand that the Turkey hunting phenomina is relatively new ..... there is MUCH less taught and written about it .... heck, it gets WAYYYYYYY less play on HNI ..... turkey are easier IMO ..... and if you want to go mature vs mature ..... there are more mature turkey than deer in MOST states

Why do we keep getting all of these variables thrown in?

BOW HUNTING.....

In that case than deer are still easier. Plain and simple i missed my only shot at a gobbler last year. In Ohio, most deer hunters use tree stands and can draw un-detected. When going for gobblers, you almost have to use a blind to draw without being seen....and blinds restrict movement and make shots awkward.

He's back, lol I knew it. Go kill a turkey would you, I have to wait to the 5th[:@]
