Snohomish Co. Eastern Gobblers !
« on: February 22, 2013, 02:02:50 PM »
So the other day I get a phone call from a lady from Arlington ( Pilchuck Area ) asking me about turkeys she has in her yard ....She got my name and number from someone at Holiday sports .... So anyway I ran over there the other day and long and be hold I am sure these birds are from the release we did back in the 90s...Being the location I am sure they are ...Back when we 1st turned them loose I always gotten calls about them but it kinda died off over the last 5 yrs or So and now I am hearing of them again ...They just arrived at her place about a week ago ...I told her to let me know when they leave or come back ..There was 4 hens with them but I did not see them when I was there ...The bad thing about this deal was back when we did the release we cut a deal with Pilchuck to let us have access to the birds once they were established but that went to hell in a hand basket because they sold out to a company that does not allow hunting  :bash: :bash: :bash: >:( But I know they are around the out skirts of the area , like these ones ...These one were about 2 miles east of where the release took place ...I am happy to hear of them again  :tup:

I see a few stragglers here and there in some logging units, up river from pilchuck tree farm every so often. Every once in a while someone will spot a few in the hills toward Lake Cavanaugh.

Are you asking if you think they are related to your release birds?

I read about the tulalip tribe releasing some birds in the last few years, not sure of the location though. The article said something about increasing hunting opportunity on the res. Not sure if they still do it these days.

Dumb question, but how can you tell if they are hybrids and what kind of turkeys did you guys release in the 90s'. I obviously don't know a whole lot about turkeys, please forgive me.

In the court of law I couldn't honestly say what breed of turkey I've seen. I just see big and brown :rolleyes:
