I would say Missouri is very popular, but Tennessee-Alabama border is very underrated, wehunt in Fayateville, TN, had a good amount of gobblers.


I would like to go to those other placesyouguy were talking about, though.

It may not be the best but maybe the most under rated state, Cali.So. Cal. to be exact. San Diego has a great number of birds on public landand some great options todo a combo hunt.

I think we've got some great turkey hunting here in PA. As someone said previously, anywhere I am during any turkey season is great for me.

I have heard Missouri is good, but I know there are some places in Texas with ungodly amounts of turkeys. I wish Texas would share some of those birds with Louisiana.

PA has the numbers...thats for sure. (well atleast in most of the western part of the state) but we also go the hunter numbers, hen numbers, predators, later season etc etc etc.....so our spring season can turn out to be hit or miss. one day they can be goin bonkers and the next you would think there wasnt a bird in the state...good private land is hard to get access too, but thats almost the way to go...public land can be good...but your legs will be tired or you got lucky if you score most of the time..i love the state....but it can get frustrating at times to be a spring turkey hunter...

Younggun38 come on up to northern Missouri and hunt Grand River outfitters with me and Don will put you on some nice gobblers. I have never seen and heard so many turkeys. Ive hunted with Don for 5 years now and you can bet I'll go back every year. Just an awesome hunt. I always look foward to hunting there. Heck come on over to Indiana and we'll work some birds...
