First WA turkey?
« on: May 09, 2014, 05:39:14 PM »
Finally in Davenport today.  Doing my guided hunt the YJ Guide Services tomorrow.  Hopefully I can bag my first turkey here in the state of WA.  Wish me luck  :tup:

Show those Booger Beaks how the LW Longbeards got their name. Good Luck.

No turkey for me on  :'(.  I did have a great time.  Great land for hunt. I would recommed YJ Guide Services.  They have some great setups and let me tell you it wasn't for the lack of trying.  Heard birds all day.  Jumped two big toms of a road as we were heading to another spot of theirs.  Those birds decided to fly off up a nice big hill but the whole time talking.  So we decided to trek after them.  That hill was pretty steep.  Set up on them once but there were still walking away at 100 yards of a point.  We would stop every 5-10 minutes to call to get a location.   They were still on top on the hill on the other side of the point.  Get up top just about to round the point and guess what.  The double back on us and they were 40 yards below us and busted us.  They both fly off in different directions with no available shot at all.  We got back down to the bottom of the hill and both the guide and I were stripping off our clothes we were soaked with sweat.  That was very fun and exciting.  Evening hunt we had tom's talking but they stayed on this guys property we couldn't hunt about 100 yards away.  Would not budge.

You want to hunt some deer with this guys I would give them a try.  I saw tons of mule deer and white tail.

I'd love to come down to the next Brunch at Dennys. I've got a couple spots I'd share with a Longbeard Brother. PM me. It's decent public hunting.
