Who travels for turkeys?

[Crawl79]

I travel to hunt turkeys every year. For a long time I hunted the same states and areas over and over. Over the last 5 years I have started hitting new states every year. Since my home state in Louisiana most states I have been so far have been easy. The exception for me has been Mississippi which has been the only one I that it took me multiple trips. Now I hunt there yearly.

This year I should draw Iowa.
Last year I hunted Wisconsin
Year before that Colorado and Hawaii.

States I have harvested a bird in:
Louisiana, Tennessee, Kansas, New Mexico, Florida, Nebraska, Mississippi, Hawaii, Colorado, Wisconsin
Also, have killed a pile of birds in Mexico.

I have a long way to go but only hitting 1-2 new states each year.

The question now days is WHO ISN'T traveling for turkeys. Social media and YouTube have dealt a gigantic blow to quality public land hunting and turkey hunting opportunities across the nation.

This. Big time this. So much so that it truly hurts.

I have traveled for turkey hunts to multiple states. I am looking to get the slam so that requires travel outside of my home state Wisconsin.

Any birds in NW Wisconsin?

I live in MN NW of Duluth and I’m looking to add another turkey if I manage to kill my MN bird.

Was the camping situation in Wisconsin? Can I camp on state land wherever?

Yes there is birds there just not a lot. You might be able to get a left over tag for a late season but not sure of the tag numbers up there. You can camp at just about all the state forest areas around there.

Looking at it, zone 6 & 7 don’t have leftovers and I missed the app deadline by a mile. I guess zone 4 is where I could possibly pick up a tag.

I've been hitting 3 different states for the last few years. Growing up in the midwest, I wouldn't have thought about doing that back then. It's worth it!
