Help Me Out

[winchestergirl]

I've hunted small game for about four years now Ive also had my share of deer and elk but ive become highly interested in Eastern Turkey.
Know of any good GMU's near Thurston or Mason County?

Let me know.

[Grizzly95]

Don't know much about those counties, but just north of Spokane is loaded with turkeys. I have had to kick them out of my way before.

Have you tried looking up the statistics for success for the GMUs for turkey? That would probably be a good place to start to see what GMUs are best for eastern turkey. You might have better luck for turkey in the North east part of this state than you will have on the westside. Lots of Turkeys around Colville and Chewelah.

If you want a eastern turkey stay on west side, Lewis, Cowlitz county. If you want Mariam's go to north east lot more birds. A eastern on the west is a true trophy.

Yup easterns on the west side are TUFF. You can also try Klickitat county for Merriam's. it would be a little closer than the NE corner.

Also down around Kalama for easterns.  There are pockets out of Oakville but easterns are wary as hell and in our thick brush, you will work very hard to even see one.   I once called one into about 6 yards.  He came in totally silent and exploded when I got up to move.  About shat myself...

Easterns are tough in Wa due to the thick cover we have. But, I know a place that used to hold good numbers of birds. I have never taken one there though 
If I get over there this year, your welcome to join in.
I also have a new spot that I was told I can hunt this spring. I havent scouted anything yet due to it being too early yet. But am told there are good numbers on this ranch.

I've seen the Easterns around Tenino, Centralia, Oakville, and Pe Ell. Not often but they are there. Not sure I'd want to spend time trying to hunt them.

I here Capitol peak has birds.

Yep.  I've seen two up there.  One two years ago in the summer and one about 6 years ago in September.
