Coming from federal way , so  walla walla if I'm not mistaken

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.
:yeah: lots of turkey closer to you.  In Tucannon, I would say moderate amount of turkeys, High amount of hunters...hence, the "good luck,"  but I really do mean - Good luck!  I hope you get one wherever you go.  IMO, you would save hundreds of dollars and have just as much chance (or better) by going to Cle Elum/Ellensburg area.

I would think it would be gone by then, but if it is not, the turkeys will still make noises...when they are ready to go, they are ready to go.  plus, tracking and finding turkey in the snow can be easier.

A couple of years ago, I was in the Tucannon drainage only to find hundreds of mushroom hunters. I could not get far enough from the roads and they were still around, yelling, calling, whistling.
If the mushroom hunters are around, I would think of a plan B.
Gathering is easy. Hunting is a challenge.
