Hunting kettle falls

[apex_predator87]

Ok guys,
   This one is for anyone who has hunted the kettle falls area before.
 As it stands now, that's where my rookie turkey season will be .
   My question is , what's the weather like around there in recent springs.
  Anyone had luck? Or maybe no luck at all.  Anyways. Any. Feedback it great as always .

Sincerely ,
          Apex

No turkeys around there....

Depends on when your planning on going!! You will need your good undies in the early season and it very well could dump some snow on ya as well!! Later in the season it's T-shirt's once all the hordes give up!!
                                                               

Depending on where your at you just might call in a wolf, or a cougar also!!

What part of the state tends to be warmer in the spring
?

[KFhunter]

springs are wacky here, we get it all.

The old saying "you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes"  was invented in NE/WA.

[Ridgeratt]

If your looking for warm I'd try down by the dalles!!
Even out west of Spokane can get snow! It will almost be guaranteed to have heavy frost any of the opening mornings for the first week or so!!

really warm would be Oklahoma and it opens the 5th of april

Some of the funest turkey hunting I ever did was in the Asotin area. Asotin wildlife area and Cheif Joseph wildlife area. Very nice country.

Having said that I have spent some Time tring to kill one around Kettle Falls. Try Sherman Creek Wildlife Area.

First year I went, I went the opener. Snowed every day. Never saw a bird.
It seems like if it rains  hard they are silent for a couple days afterwards.
Makes it tough.
I only hunt public lands.

Good luck

We are waiting till May his year. Went in May last year had a good time but still rained for two days. Spent one night in my buddies truck stuck in the mud.

Ahhhhhhh the stories

Ah ya - the trademark of a coastie. 

Drive a big jacked up rig with huge tires and get em stuck in the middle of a nice road. 
I could get a Chevy Luv on 14 inch tires through and not scratch a tire but noooo.....not a coastie


damm coasties

We should start a thread



You might be a Coastie if:

1) you find yourself stuck on wet grass

one year there was a good bird on the hill behind Super one!! it was hilarious to see the crowd watching him with the local police sitting there watching them!!  He just spun and twirlled all over the hill.

Or watching the guy run down the shoulder of the hiway blazing away at a bird on the tracks by Mckern's

I've hunted in snow in Teanaway and Spokane for turkeys.

Watch out, some of the State lands are scheduled for burning this spring around Colville, not sure which ones though.

Now now boys be nice. We got stuck helping two other fellows out. Who we did not know. Yes we were all coasties.
I have had one cup coffee in my life and I spit it out 40 years ago.
I do like your Safeway though free Wifi

And yep I wear camo sometimes because I am just two tired at the end of the day to dress up for you guys.
But it is old camo .

I will say you have a very nice neighbor named Kelly White.
