I'm really wanting to try Kansas but I'm move of a timber hunter than open land guy if that makes sense.

You realize you just eliminated like 80-90 percent of Kansas?

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

True that.

Tennessee if I had to choose from your options!

Just FYI. Tennessee is what Missouri was 15 years ago.

If the numbers are decent Kansas is a serious option. Open land/terrain or not. I'd rather hunt timber but it's not a deal breaker.

Can't go wrong with Tennessee in my opinion.
Tn ain't as good as it used to be. Lots of pressure these days and less turkeys

This, at least in Middle TN.

Shoot I would go there. I would Skip my home state of Missouri now for that kind of a hunt. Tired of only hearing a gobble or two on a thousand acres of woods.

Central TN is definitely booming. BUT, hunting pressure will also be higher than ever there thanks to the YouTubes. You can hear you a lot of birds though!

Just stay away from East Tennessee.  I went last year and bout fell off a mountain.   I hunted a wma that only opened two days a week. My goodness I know I saw 75-80 trucks parked mid day.  Place wasn't really even that big.   It was nuts.   I tried another place and there were nothing but joyriders on utv and atv.  That was at beginning of covid though last year so timing was awe full.  Everyone in Tennessee was in the woods off work it appeared.  I would go middle tennessee.

I'm taking my first out of state turkey hunting trip this year, heading to Nebraska and South Dakota.  I live in Michigan and decided if I was going to go out of state might as well hunt a bird we don't have here and try out some new terrain.

A fried and I are going to head to MS to get a little practice the first week of April. Interested to trying something new and see what these southern turkeys are all about.

Middle TN is too crowded and over hunted.  Bag limit cut too.
