Somewhere close to you so maybe you can get some scouting in before your hunt date.

Salimonie, Roush Lake or Missisinawa are probably the closest to you. All hold turkeys and all get pressure.
Applying for a date that is mostly weekdays will help your success rate. Also Roush does no-show draws.

Also Roush does no-show draws. I'm willing to travel, not necessarily looking for the closest. Looking for an area with a solid population as well as at least relatively low pressure. |

Probably best to head down to the Hoosier then.
The draws in NE Indiana are usually filled. While the draws are filled there is plenty of space on the day you are drawn for. I think Roush only takes 12 to 15 hunters per day for example. You just have to scout several spots out in case someone is already there. The closer to your date the better.

Mississinewa has had poor results for the last several years according my experience and anecdotal comments from others. Winamac FWA is a great spot. Control burns, crop fields, hinge cutting and plenty of woods. The DNR crew up there are pros |
