Hello, I'm new here. Thought this would be a good forum to get some tips on where to go for an out of state hunt. I'm from west-central Illinois and want to go some where different to hunt. I'm looking for a place with a good amount of turkey (prferably not Easterns), good state land to hunt on, and maybe a state park with cabins near by to stay in. If anyone has any good ideas I would appreciate hearing them. Thanks.

For a change of scenery I would go to one of the western states and hunt a Merriam. Places like the Black Hills in SD. You could also look into NM or CO for some pretty good public land hunting. I would suggest TX but there are almost no public land hunting in TX which means a guide or tresspass fee. Good luck with your hunt.

I did a Black Hills DIY hunt right after I retired. Lots of room to roam and some really nice cabins. Do a search for Black Hills cabins and take your pick. There's also lots of Merriam's, which was my target bird. Good luck!

I hunted out of Hill City SD. There is alot of public land there and I could give you some areas where we killed turkeys. You will also see more deer than you will have ever seen in your life just going to town.
