OK im jumpin in really late, but I still want to give my .02
I think it all depends on your location. I hear guys on here all the time saying it is more difficult to take a turkey than a deer. Where I live thats just not the case. Turkey are everywhere here, and deer are..well..here. But they aren't abundant (sp?)like turkeys.
If I had to choose to take 1 deer of any kind or 5 turkeys of any kind.....I would choose the turkeys (assuming that was legal)
Ex. Heres a pic I took about a month ago. There is a treestand ~100 yards away from these guys, and every morning I bowhunted out of it last fall...I had to look at them the whole time.

I think that taking a turkey is easier than taking a mature buck.

If I spent the Time Turkey hunting I have deer hunting I am sure I would have several more Long Beards to my credit. Lack of time and IL. seasons has always been my biggest hurdle Turkey hunting.Dan

The length of the season is a DEFINITE mitigating factor in WHY I think turkeys are tougher.

It really depends on where you are. Access to big areas of ground, longer seasons, all play a big part. Here on the 40 & 80 acre spots I can Deer hunt the Turkeys come and go. Last year the week I drew a tag I never saw or heard a bird. The week after they were all over the place.Still if I can pick my spot I still like my odds on a Long Beard versus a 150"+ Buck.
