Well now that turkey seasons are starting to close down across the country is anyone already started to plan out of state hunts for next year yet? I know a thread like this was started at the end of last spring and it was interesting to see what everybody had in mind. It's looking like I might be able to go on my first out of state hunt this next spring because I'll have a few days personal time to use. I was looking at getting a hunt in somewhere before our season starts up here in Kentucky around the second week in April. I would probably have a couple days to hunt with maybe a half day to a day on each end of the trip to travel. Where would you all suggest planning a trip to and could you suggest any good public land in any of the states to try because swinging an outfitted hunt somewhere right now is probably not gonna be an option for me. I just know a lot of you all on here do a lot of traveling to hunt and would like to get your take on any good ideas and like to hear plans of where you all are traveling yourselves to get ideas.
A group of us have already paid our deposits for a 2013 hunt in Nebraska. Going to have see something other than MS this coming season.
Just booked NE & KS.
Looking into OK & OR.
Just booked a 2012 NE deer hunt too...

Looking for a Kansas Rio hunt right now
Y'all do realize the states mentioned so far have a ton of public areas?? I'm guessing booked means with an outfitter?? My son and I go to Kansas every year with the most expense being gas.
Would like to hit new mexico, utah, colorado, wyoming, montana, and nebraska on the western half of the country and then do tennessee, south carolina, maryland and virginia in the east.
We shall see how things work out.

Mark, welcome to OG.
Hoping to hit Fla to get sub speices number two for my slam and hopefully back to Ms if invited.
I always say "Kentucky" but it's also weather pending..

I have kilt tons of birds on KS public land; then the guys from MS/AR, etc. started showing up, driving around and around and around and around, so now I hunt with a great outfitter that costs less than motel bill, and they provide lodging ;D

Well I hope it goes this way , Start in Ohio then to SD on in to NB down to KS then back home to OH , and I might hit WV . :turkey2:
I am looking into a Florida hunt or two. Anyone have any recomendations?
Got our hunt booked for a rio hunt in south central texas next year.Ill have my slam then.
Don't know yet. Things are in the works. I hope to hit a couple different states next year.
TRKYHTR
hopefully west Virginia Kentucky and Ohio
guess I'll start my quest for the US Slam and try to add a few states to my already small list. i'll also be heading to Florida to try and help my 82 year old dad harvest an Osceola and take one myself if everything goes as planned. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ELSE IN 2013.
Closing down?!! I haven't heard a gobble yet!! :character0029:
Plans for next year include doing more scouting between now and then and finding some new spots to hunt here since mine have appeared to dry up. I'd like to take a trip back to PA for some hunting, but that will probably have to wait a couple years - I have too many other hobbies/projects.
Back out tomorrow and try again, but I think they're done already....
