I saw a bunch of birds on the Tulalip Indian Res a while back.

You wont have much luck there.  At one time there were a dozen birds in La Conner, but they have been removed.  There are some on the Tulalip Res. though.

Pull up the turkey regs online, and you will see that practically no turkeys die in your neck of the woods.

The sad fact is you are hours of driving away from decent turkey hunting..... and then a couple more hours to good turkey hunting.

Latest published harvest was 8 birds (2011) in all NW Wa ---  that works out to approximately one tenth of one percent.  SW Wa isn't much better at approximately nine tenths of one percent (52 birds in 2011).  That means 99% of the harvest happens in Eastern Wa ... go east young man ....

Irish, name a general location you would be comfortable in traveling to.. I will pinpoint you an area, if I know that there are birds in there.  You will still have to scout the area, and do the leg work.
