The further west you go, the easier the hunting will get. We had a very tough time in eastern Kansas, finding birds on public land. The only one I found in 4 days, I killed. That was also towards the end of the season.
Not anymore! Since they opened up the Northwest zone to 2 birds it changed things! Places where we used to just massacre birds have been opened up and received heavy pressure the last 4 years.
The turkey population wasn't as high the further west you went in Kansas but until they opened it up to 2 birds it never got pressured. The last 2 years we were there it was just as tough as hunting easterns with the exception of being able to see them when they ran from calls. Lol!
