  Id Bet If Info In The NE Was Asked For You May Have Gotten More Help.  It's Like Asking Where The Elk Are North Of Spokane.  Not Going To Happen.  Where Game Is Not Plentiful People Are Not As Willing To Help.  It Took Me Three Years To Get A Bird In Central WA.  I Have A Few Good Spots, And I Hunt Them By My self :chuckle:

I think page two of the Spring turkey regulations really lays it out well.  Just not many birds killed within 2.5 hours of Seattle.  If you have seen turkey in that area before I'd assume you are still going to find them close to there if you keep at it.  While out that way scouting talk with employees of the local grocery store, fast food choke and puke, gas station, post office, bank, pretty much anywhere you expect to see locals that might not be worried about someone finding their secret spot!  Heck, I found one of my very best bear spots from a Jehovah's Witness that stopped by the house...seriously/honest and for true!!  I find non-hunters my best source of qualified leads.  They usually want to tell the world about all the wildlife they've seen.  I've got a buddy in Oregon that kills big Rosie bulls each year and most of his good leads come from joining a bird watching club and chatting with the members while wearing Bermuda shorts and Birkenstocks ;)  You wade through a lot of BS that way, but sooner or later you find the cow that made it!
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

That reminds me of when I was a kid and the young Mormon guys on their Mission would stop by my parents house preaching their good word. The first day they stopped by my Mom told them straight up that we weren't ever going to convert but that they could come over anytime and watch TV and have a home cooked meal. Needless to say, they stopped by about once a month for the next two years.

I always knew that Jehovah's Witnesses were bear whisperers...   :chuckle:

i am kinda suprised that the game department doesnt plant turkey, well actually not that suprised with all the screwing around behind the scenes, ya know with wolves and all, but how come there isnt a program to make a good population of birds on the westside, there has to be enough food up in the hills you would think, idk, it isnt like they are wild hogs :dunno:
my grandpa always said "if it aint broke dont fix it"

This post is worse than people asking for a good deer hunting spot. Wow

The grocery store is a close distance. Other than that, good luck. do your homework for next year :twocents:. it takes knowledge to know where the turkeys are :twocents:

Last I saw bearpaw still had some spots open not sure about the other one in davenport.

Is your name Richard and do you go by the nickname Dick?  I could of gave better advice from Arkansas!

I have been hunting turkey in that area for many years.  I didn't even buy a tag this year because I have seen so few birds lately.  Even the guys who have them on their private property said don't bother coming over, the birds are gone or elsewhere.  They are out there still, but very few, for whatever reason.

FYI - About 3/4 of all birds taken in WA are taken in the northeast quarter of the state, the two next best hunting areas are southeast WA and the Klickitat, my advice is to consider one of those three areas and just drive a little further, it's probably worth the extra drive time and cost unless you really want an eastern which can only be had on the westside.  :tup:

If you are still lost but willing to drive send me a pm, I'll help.
