Where would you go?
 

Deer season is winding down here and for the first time in a lot of years i don't have a spring trip planned. I was curious as to where you would go if you could. I'd love to take a trip, hunt public land, and see some new country, but just can't seem to decide on where to go. My wife needs a Rio and a Oceola for her slam, but we don't have to do that this year. What's your favorite piece of this country to chase birds? Ideas anyone? We've hunted Texas, Tennessee, Virginia, South Dakota, Wyoming, Florida. We were giving Mississippi some thought or maybe a return trip to SD. We did have an invite to hunt some private land outside Nashville, but that's to close to count as a trip.

I hear MO or KS is a nice trip.

South Dakota is my choice. If you get a Black Hills tag along with a prairie tag from the state, and one of several of the tribal tags, you can get up to 7 birds and not have to leave the state! Maybe more as I'm not sure if a couple of the tribes issue turkey tags.

I'm headed to MO this spring.

HighKnob--- come on up to Missouri,, it cant be beat, If interested, there is lots of public land in the county I live in. Lots of good opportunity for a good gobbler, and I happen to know about a lease or two in the area that are private land, but they tend to fill up pretty quickly, but they arent full yet. We have a 14500 acre state park, with super turkey hunting, and then we also have Mark Twain State Forest, which consists of hunreds of thousands of acres in the southern part of the state, all excellent turkey hunting.:)

Vermont has TREMENDOUS populations of turkey right now and tons of public land to hunt. There are so many of them, they are eating all the deer food and competing for habitat with the deer. The state is literally infested with them. There is also a 2 bird limit there and out of state fees are reasonable as well. I saw 6 legal gobblers in 3 days of hunting there on land that I hadn't been on in 8 years, and 3 of them were mature birds.
