I've seen several dozen in the past few days.  Unfortunately, they're all within city limits, not huntable...lol

Yes, but they are still in big flocks in most areas.

I just about ran over a dozen hens in the road this weekend in West Spokane.  I came around a sharp corner and as usual they were in no hurry to move   :chuckle:

Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

They know where they're safe lol. I see them on SFCC campus all the time, as well as on the archery club range property, which happens to be city property.

Within the city limits of Spokane...and they say turkeys are dumb birds...







These Toms seemed to be having a major strutting competition going on!

Nice pics!  I've noticed that there are more toms this year, or are they just in bachelor groups still. Out in Colville I noticed 3 groups of 5-8 Jakes and young toms strolling around, no hens.  In 3 days I only saw 2 hens.
