If you had the means to take a trip anywhere, and your objective was to go on the best turkey hunting trip possible, where would go? Outfitters, private land, public land is all fair game.

X2. I’ve been fortunate to hunt a handful of states and all 4 species and for me it’s tough to top these old mountain birds when they’re acting right.

Actually, some of those guys have told me for years that the best hunting there would be in early May, and this year it will be legal! Internet scouters should put Jackson county in May on their bucket list.

I would choose the feral turkeys of New Zealand, but I'm not going until someone devises a Star Trek type transporter to beam me and my truck directly to it. There is nothing on earth to make me willingly spend that much time on a plane.

It's hard to beat the eastern turkey here in Alabama, but the Merriam's have been high on my list for a long while due to the unique coloration and surrounding scenery.

some of you Jackson Co boys need to cross the county line every now and then. Even a moderate Texas trip willl ruin you for Alabama, much less a good Merriams trip.

Start opening weekend South FL and wrapping up in Maine as June arrives. In between, going from coast to coast to hit as many states as possible.

This.

Hawaii would also be pretty neat.

A run up the northeast coast, hitting half a dozen states.

I’d like to hunt high altitude merriams or Gould’s.......that’s on my bucket list.

But the couple times I’ve been out west you know what little patch of cottonwoods the turkeys are roosted in that morning before you go and you know they’ve about gotta come back to the same little patch that evening. Didn’t do it for me. I like not knowing where he’s at til I hear him gobble at daylight and then going to him.

Brent, Texas birds don't act like that, and it isn't unusual to hear 20+ gobblers at first light. They usually hit the ground running...away.

If I’m taking a trip, it’s to see places and kill stuff I can’t do at home. Merriams in the mountains all day long for me. Haven’t done it, but like BrentM I’d like to go for Goulds in the mountains. I’d also like to hunt Rios in Hawaii for the scenery and experience.

I hope it happens this year, but it will be spread out over a whole season and not just one trip. We will start in South Florida chasing osceolas, and finish in the mountains of New Mexico chasing merriams with Texas, Oklahoma and Alabama mixed in.
