I know the yankees will chime in and say how hard theirs are to kill but I believe that La,Ms,Al,Ga,Fla and maybe Sc have the hardest turkeys to kill once they get to their 3rd spring. What do you guys think?

I have hunted Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Nebraska, and Alabama...of the places I've hunted, Tennessee has the dumbest most suicidal birds and Jackson County, Alabama has the biggest arse hole devil mountain birds I've ever witnessed. Now I would probably kill more if I was patient and just sat somewhere all day, but I like to run and gun and if they ain't gobbling, I go the hell home.

I ain't gonna argue with that, the best hunters are from the south too. Them northern and western birds are easy if you kill hem here with any kind of consistency,

Alabama and Texas are the only two states I've hunted. Them turkeys are most definitely suicidal out there compared to here. I won't lie though, it's nice hunting them after fighting with these here. It was a big confidence booster going out there last year. I'm going again this year for that booster also, March 29th-April 1st. I'd like to go somewhere else, but I've got an all but free place to go out there, so I'll go somewhere else when I have the time and dough.

I've hunted MS, Alabama, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Texas. I would call none of em really easy. A wild turkey is a wild turkey. Texas and Nebraska just have better hunting (more gobblers) than where I normally hunt. Toughest - Management Area 3 year or older gobbler from MS. He's heard it all. Now, at the end of the season when his hens are gone, he is very killable. I also think if you can kill em consistently in MS/AL, you can kill em anywhere.

I have hunted alabama, Tennessee, Kansas,Texas, Montana ,Wyoming,Missouri,Iowa and kentucky. Northern Missouri/ Iowa birds kicked my dick in the dirt. Kansas follows in second. For me the issue with those birds is they are field dwelling demons. They pitch 150 yds out into the middle of a field and that's where they stay all day. The sun doesn't seem to heat those birds up enough to push them back to shade of the timber. They might pitch out in the open here but give it till about 10:30 an they are looking for timber to get out of the suns heat on those black feather. That when they get the only judo chop.

Fixed it for ya....

I've hunted turkeys in Al, Ga, Ms, Texas, Nb, ND, Fl,Ok, and homegrown Al birds are easily the hardest, esp any WMA birds or Wilcox Co birds. Wilcox Co has more surenuff UNKNOWN turkey killers, and always has, that any other area of the state.


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

The toughest ones are the ones that have been fooled with a lot by bad turkey hunters......... I don't think it matters a whole lot where they live.
Me and T Winters and another guy went out to Kansas a few years ago on a cheap hunt with an outfitter that specialized in deer hunts ....... He basically just showed us 3 or 4 farms and turned us loose.
We worked them over pretty good and bragged to him about how many turkeys he had. Went ahead and booked another hunt the next season for he second week of May.
Ol boy realized he had another cash crop with turkeys and booked a bunch of hunts that next spring....... By the time we got there in may them birds were terrified of their own shadow.
I spent three days trying to kill a turkey in that open country that I don't believe I could have killed with a shotgun if I had stayed out there all summer. Terry did end up killing a couple but he's real dangerous about stuff like that....... Me and our other buddy never cut a feather out there.
I remember making the comment that I'd like to get back home to Skyline so I could find some birds that hadn't been fooled with bad.
Those stupid rios turned into world-class bad turkeys from one season to the next.

I agree with brentm. Pressured turkeys equal bad birds.

I've hunted some very tough turkeys in VA and FL. The toughest ever were one year in UT. (Speaking of spring gobbler season).

It seems like it depends on many factors.

I havent hunted alot of states but I believe if you can kill a Alabama WMA bird then you can kill almost any bird anywhere else.

On a side note, I did kill two of those WMA bastages last year and 1 the year before. smile

I have hunted in several states as well,and so far I have had my tail handed to me more here in Jackson county more than anywhere I've been.Several years ago I hunted with Jim Neighbors down there in those swamps,and those birds were alot easier mostly because of terrain.He declined a hunt up here,said he didn't think it would be worth the trouble. Those Midwest birds just never shut up,so if you have enough property,and patience you can kill em pretty regular.Iowa has some of the hardest gobbling,biggest birds I have ever seen,and I got lucky up there and killed a monster of a bird. I would have to say rite here in the south east corner of the usa is the toughest birds to kill.


I would rather be turkey hunting

Quit trying to impress us.

Turkeys can be turkeys anywhere. Toughest birds I've hunted were at a place that the terrain made it a whole lot more difficult than it should be.

Turkeys are tough anywhere if they don't talk. I am still recuperating from what I refer to as "The Silent Spring of 13". I didn't realize how stupid I could be until I spent all of last season hunting turkeys with a bad case of lock jaw. A slice of humility is par for the course, but a whole number 4 wash tub full was inhumane. I don't even want to speak about the one gobbling turkey I hunted last year. He basically slipped up behind me and slit my throat. I can't explain this past season, I have a good many turkeys to hunt but I have never had them treat me as cruel as they did last year.
