GMU 166
« on: March 19, 2013, 09:07:53 PM »
 Jut wanted to know  who's headed  S.E  to tucannon this spring.
 My buddy insists we go there, because he swears Turks are everywhere  along the area .   If I could get some insight. From you kind gentlemen whether it would be a waste if time or not.   As of now I'm all game , but I thought I TRY once again to pick your brains  :tup:

There is alot of birds down there along the river that's for sure. Mostly private ground tho. There is a few chunks of feel free to hunt right along the river that i have seen turkeys on. Be prepared to poop your pants when you see how many other hunters are down there... Goodluck :tup:

Ya know, I'm so new to this state. 
 And for the most part people are reluctant
To give info on the  good spots. (absolutely understandable)
 I'd rather get away from the people, but if its the only place in the
S. E.  I can get one. I guess I'll have to settle .

You have to realize you are going to need to do some legwork.  A lot of us have put many years into this to be successful.  You aren't going to get some persons hot spot.  Chalk this up to a learning year,  go to one of the spots already talked about in one of your four threads and good luck I hope you guys get a couple birds.

There are a lot of birds there !  I have never hunted there so dont know how much pressure it gets.  I have camped there and seen many birds.  As Limhanger says most wont give up there spots, but sometimes you can come accross someone who has hunted turkey in many places of wash, and no longer lives there and doesnt mind sharing spots where birds are know to be.   :hello:
If you live in Fedway, why would you go all the way to the cannon ?  You just drove past lots of birds to get there.

 I am we'll aware  and MORE than willing to put in legwork  by anyone's standards.
 I am just so new to this area like I said and just wanted some quick info from experiences.

If you dont want to go all that way, you could stop in Cle Ellum, Elensburg area, Elk hights too. Or if you want to take the river route hit Goldendale.

I wouldn't.
Take i-90 to 26 to Colfax to 127 to the Tucannon. Going through Walla Walla is the long way

That way you'll drive past several thousand turkeys too.

'twas what I was thinking but didn't know the whole trip expectations. Anyhow I am willing to show you that private land and the feel free you want.
