Anyone else stoked about the up coming season?

Been quite a while since I've hunted fall turkeys. I' ve become preoccupied with other pursuits at that time. We used to have some great turkey/grouse combo hunts up in the NE. Some good fishing to be had as well up there too. Did you draw a tag? Hunting general? Good luck when you go!

After striking out on 3 trips this spring I'm going to find one this fall. If I can hit one with a bow is another question.

I drawed one of the coveted fall tags for the Klicitat!!! Pretty stooked . First time I ever put in for the fall hunt!

I'm always stoked about it. If I wasn't married I'd be out scouting or hunting all the time. It's nice that there's two seasons.

That's my area.

I'm counting the days!

I hunted the 101 during the spring season and the birds were very few and far between. There were prescribed burns and some heavy logging pressure in the areas I was in and the turkeys seemed to have moved out. Just a heads up, hopefully they will have returned after the spring interferences. Good luck, I know how fun fall turkey hunting can be!

How do you hunt fall turkey? Will they come to calls?

turkeydancer · « **Reply #11 on:** July 22, 2013, 12:22:20 PM »

Some people scatter the flock to the 4 winds and sit at or very near the breakup sight. If you're going for gobbles best to start up with gobbles, tom/jake yelps or other male sounds within 10 to 15 minutes. If you're going for the hens and young, wait about 30 to 40 minutes, and start with kee kees, kee runs, and/or hen assembly calls. You can listen to these on the NWTF website.

Other people pattern the birds and setup an ambush.

I have done both with good success.

I haven't been able to call them in the fall. They just ran away, or had no visible response at all.
Fall seems like ambush time.
Spring is call time.
This is my experience anyway.

WaltAlpine · « **Reply #13 on:** July 22, 2013, 12:37:49 PM »

If 101 doesn't look good after a day or two I'll see about 121, 108, 105. The usual order.
I'm getting weepy. Must sign off...

Smossy · « **Reply #14 on:** July 22, 2013, 12:45:04 PM »

I would be if I knew where to go

No turkey for me this year.

Gobble Doc · « **Reply #15 on:** July 22, 2013, 04:51:28 PM »

Short sleeve late summer/fall weather. It's great. Fun to do with the kids. If I can't get one of these birds with an arrow this fall I'm afraid I might have to break out the big guns.

oneshot12 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 26, 2013, 12:40:21 PM »

yep be in the 101 area with good friends this fall hope to see lots again this fall

jblackburn · « **Reply #17 on:** August 04, 2013, 03:27:41 PM »

I should have WA resident status in time for fall season, I hope to get a chance to go after them!

PA BEN · « **Reply #18 on:** September 26, 2013, 05:40:54 AM »

From what I read you can shoot 3 turkeys in the fall season. 2 hens and one ether sex, no matter if you shot 2 birds in the spring. I've heard hen wing bones make the best wingbone calls.

turkeydancer · « **Reply #19 on:** September 26, 2013, 12:15:24 PM »

You're 100% correct Pa Ben ! .... so how's being back home on the dry-side?

PA BEN · « **Reply #20 on:** September 26, 2013, 07:15:49 PM »

Great going out to get a turkey in the morning.

turkeydancer · « **Reply #21 on:** September 27, 2013, 01:41:25 PM »

Good luck ... good to hear things are well !
