RE: Hardest Species?
 

The easterns in Maryland are the toughest to hunt. It can be like hunting a ghost. Most of these birds will gobble on the roost but once they fly down they wont make a peep. But then again I have never hunted turkeys in another state. LOL

Well I've been hunting easterns all my life and them Black Hills Merriams will have to get my vote. Talk about not responding to a call. Three years in a row, same outcome- NOTHING

RE: Hardest Species?
 

Depends. so many things matter!

RE: Hardest Species?
 

It does depend on the pressure but I'd have to say the Osceola's are the hardest to hunt-especially on public land.

The answer here seems pretty obvious to me. The hardest or toughest turkeys to hunt are the ones that did'nt get a tag wrapped around their legs last spring!<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote><font size=4></font id=size4>

RE: Hardest Species?
 

It is pretty obvious that most everyone is in agreement that a high pressured bird no matter what the subspecies is a tough bird to kill. A turkey is still a turkey no matter where he lives. It's like bass fishing. If your fishing a farm pond that the only lures the fish see are what you throw at them ther're pretty easy to catch. But, if your fishing a public body of water that gets pounded everyday,all day long, they get just pretty hard to catch. The fish are still there, they're just a lot harder to fool.
