Eastern wild turkey in Arkansas is the toughest I’ve hunted. They are highly pressured in Arkansas. I’ve seen turkey in other states that seem to be much less wary and seem to me to be a little less call shy.

In my home state of Arizona, I've taken Merriam's and the Rio Grande, so I'd say my nemesis has to be Gould's just because I've never been able to draw a tag to hunt them! Of the two I've hunted, I found the Merriam's to be more difficult to hunt, but it could just be that they receive far more hunting pressure than the Rios do here.

Easterns on the Cumberland Plateau don’t know what it is but they can go completely silent,stay way away from decoys and use the bluffs to drive you crazy ?? Good luck Lewis

Appalachian easterns in these hills are tough ,RIO's are easiest IMO.
