RE: Hardest Turkey to hunt?
individual turkey to turkey. Ive only chased easterns so far, but they are all different. Ive killed a bird that i swear had a suicide death wish, and ive also called in birds that took all season to finally get a crack at. I should find out within the next year or two just how hard the public land merriams really are.

The hardest one I found to hunt is the one I'm calling in that day.....
Sorry I couldn't resist....
I've hunted them all and I think the Merriams are the toughest... Don't know why but it always takes longer to get them ito come in to the call. Maybe it's just me...

Well, I have hunted only in my area, there are lots of birds, and no hunters. Which makes it very easy for me to hunt these birds, so I really don't know the answer to the question.

I have hunted Easterns for 35 years+ and have Missed Several Seasons of getting both Birds.
I have hunted KS Rio's the last two years and have killed 4 birds the 2 days I hunted and ALL for of them was Doubles. Total was 8 birds 2 hunters, 2 days!
I am like the guy ahead of me. I will probably never get another shot
at a Rio.
We are planing to go to NE to get a Merriam. I hate to think of spending all the Money and Time and not getting one. We will have a good time but that's not the point. I have a good time what ever I do.
To show how serious I am. QUESTION: (Is NE and over the counter Tag or a Draw?) I could look it up but it's just easier to ask.
