It'll be here before you know it!! My buddy is looking over some new ground in Florida this weekend.
I think we are hunting Indiana, Kentucky, Nebraska and Kansas. In Nebraska, we are just a short drive from South Dakota and I have a place to hunt there, so who knows. Will probably have to hold off on Florida till next spring, but I got my fingers crossed for this spring.

Who thinks we should extend turkey season until the end of may...lol Seriously, any of you guys ever hunt on public ground on our neighboring states? I have some good private land here but wouldn't mind leaving state once this spring.

vectrix,
Ive been to kansas and SD and they both offer very good hunting on public land and reasonable tag prices. Ive also been to Nebraska and while its not public land, but private land for Turkey hunting was very very accessable. We had thousands of acres of land open to us just by knocking on doors and being polite.

hunter, we hunted Nebraska in 2005 and again last spring. During that time the DNR estimated that the population increased 100-400% depending on the area. The area we hunted was in the 400% range. It was noticable, we went from hearing 15-20 birds a morning (2005) to hearing 25 to uncountable numbers on some mornings this past spring. One of the birds my buddies shot was in a group of 11 gobblers.
We hunted small WMA's for a couple of days and then got a hold of a rancher that let us hunt their ranch (42,000 acres), I never knew so many turkeys could exist on one area.
Kansas has some great walk in areas that are loaded with birds also.

My younger brother bought a small farm in Missouri this year so we'll probably head there. Maybe Kentucky too.

My in-state would be out of state for you guys, does that count? ;D There are turkeys all over up here, I'm looking forward to next spring.
I don't see it happening, but I wouldn't mind getting back home for a hunt next spring before our season opens up here.

I have a friend that lives in New Hampshire and has a hunting forum for that area (mainly). I'm sure he could help you out if needed.

I was going to stop by this summer when I saw you outside, but we were late for a wedding in Owensboro, you were cleaning your bike and I didn't have my boy to show off. ;D

Thanks guys, I actually used to work with a guys whos sister and brother in law farmed roughly 3000 acres in Kansas. I tried to draw a deer tag and failed but suppose I could try and hit them up about turkeys. That's a mix of eastern and rio according to which part of the state?

I'm always looking for options when it comes to turkeys. ;D There's a lot of land (supposedly over a million acres) open to hunting in NH. Pretty much if it's not posted, you can hunt it whether it's private or public. There's a flock of turkeys near my work so those will be the primary targets unless the flock I saw near the house the other day is still hanging around come spring. Who is your friend and what forum?
