Did you try calling the wdfw biologist and see if they will point you in the directions of some turkeys. Folks are going to be tight lipped about there spots over there.

I live in Cle Elum and have watched the turkeys wax and wane for the last 10 years.  This year is mediocre at best.  I've seen the fewest toms of any year.  Hopefully we have a good nesting and carryover for next year. 

Shoffy,

The season is still 2 weeks off, don't come too soon.  I would even recommend coming around the 1st of May instead.  South of 90 and East of town there will be some birds on public land.

If dad is coming so far away. I would take same time off and hunt the northeast side.  at least 3,700 birds killed each year. Cle-elum is like 350 a year. 

Thats enough to get me there

I've got trail cams from low elevation to high. I've not seen a bird yet in the Cle Elum/ Elk Heights area this year. We did see 7 hens in Teanaway area a few weeks ago that were on private land but that's it.

With all this nice weather you would think the toms would be off on their own gobbleing like crazy.

I am sure there are flocks that have not moved into town....birds will follow the snow line at this time of year and then come back down ...
