Turkey hunting. Which state?

I think MO went to 1 bird for NR this year.

It did and the price is the same, I have been hunting Missouri since the 90s, probably on a 15 year run currently, but I may boycott them?

Nebraska is a solid state to chase gobblers. Good numbers with decent access. Some door knocking can get you into some primo turkey ground.

finally seem to be figuring it out. MN is limited to one bird a season.

Think so? Give MS a try, you can kill 3 here, you'll find out if you've got them figured out...

How much impact does it really make? With not being able to fill the 2nd tag in the first week or fill 2 tags in a day it always makes the logistics a pain. The season is already starting so late waiting that waiting to go until the first weekend into the second week means the best days of the season are behind you. I’ve hunted MO as a nonresident for 15 years since moving away and have never taken a 2nd bird. The way the population is the resident tags need to go to 1 tag too.

Nebraska is 48/50 in public land percent (1.6%) statewide. The larger chunks of public land either aren’t really turkey habitat like McKelvie or are completely overhunted like Pine Ridge. If you have decent private access sure but Nebraska turkey hunting is a shell of what it was even a decade ago. Lots of the Wiha properties are stubble or are mowed to the ground. Regionally parts of the state have decent turkey populations but others are in terrible shape.
