Which turkeys do you prefer to hunt? And why?

[timberjack86]

I like mountain birds best. Less competition and I can use the terrain against them.

Give me woods turkeys anytime!

Woods with rolling hills or mountains (some kind of relief), and call them to the gun barrel. It doesn't get any better in my opinion.

I like woods turkeys too. Especially with some undergrowth.

Mountains. Although, I've never hunted urban turkeys. I doubt I'd like it, but I never figured I'd like urban deer hunting until I killed one next to a Burger King parking lot.

Dang! At least you could go later and get a Whopper meal. :super:

Definitely mountain birds! Absolutely love being in the woods and calling them in close quarters. Nothing like chasing over ridges.

I'll buck the trend and say river bottom turkeys. Grew up and still live in a more mountainous area and primarily hunt that but there's something about those river bottoms that I love. Whether it's West TN or down South.

As long as they will gobble and play I'll hunt em anywhere.

Anywhere they want to cooperate. I like the ridge/hollow hardwoods with some fields mixed in myself

bottomland turkeys 100% just want I grew up hunting and have such fond memories of it. Field turkeys are the worst lol although thats mostly what I hunt these days.

 

[Boll Weevil]

Bottomland vote for me.

 

[Shanman]

Mountain birds for me, but I'm an opportunist and will take what I can get when the time arises.

I prefer hilly woods but like any kind of terrain, but hate to hunt birds deer hunting way

 

[catman529]

I haven't hunted mountains yet. But I like ridge and hollow gobblers, close second is rolling hills/bluffs and creek bottoms. Heck now that I think of it, I don't know if I like one more than the other. I like when they gobble and come looking for me no matter where. Open fields have the best scenery and view of the birds doing their thing, but also the toughest to hunt without decoys or a tail fan. So they're not my favorite to hunt, but I do love it when I kill a field bird. No matter where I like at least a little terrain to set up on a bird.

Most of my hunting has been hills and hollars. I have hunted a few times in bottomland and for some reason the difference of the terrain and ecosystem strikes a chord for me...I voted bottomland.

 

[TN Larry]

Ridge and hollow terrain in the woods and gobbling to the gun is my preference. I don't care that much for field hunting.

 

[Setterman]

Nothing I love more than a cow pasture, pop up blind and a mess of decoys. That really gets me excited!

 

[cowhunter71]

Truly wild, heavily pounded Gobblers, from the Cypress Strands(Heads) and Live Oak Hammocks back home, up through the Pine Plantations and Hardwood Bottoms of the Deep South, right on up to these High Mountain Hardwood Ridges here in the SE Appalachians. Although I would someday like to hunt hard gobbling Easterns in the Northeast, I have no desire to hunt either the West or the Midwest.

Any of you ever hunted Osceollas?
