Methow valley public turkeys

[bowtechian]

Curious if the public ground around twisp holds turkeys looking to chase down some thunder chickens for the first timer

I think its mainly private.  I don't recall seeing them much on public land

[Jingles]

There are a few localities that have public land turkeys but as Elkrunner said most of the turkeys are all hanging on Private property...

[HUNTINCOUPLE]

Private for the most part. If they leave the private part they return rather quickly once hunted on the public part.

I think you would be better off going farther east.
At least over Loop Loop.

I have seen a few off the private ground but for the most part they are on private along the river.

I seen about ten turkeys in the church parking lot, across the street from the pizza joint in Winthrop 2 weeks ago... that's all I got

If'n you are referring to the chiliwist they got hit pretty hard with the fire last summer might be a little scarce

Yea that is my brothers yard and in town so no hunting there

If I was going to try it I'd go late in the season when hens are incubating and toms are more likely to travel further to investigate yelps.  However, unless I had another reason to be there, I'd drive the extra time to east Okanogan/Ferry/Stevens/Pend Oreille counties where birds are much more common on public.

Yeah I know, just trying to too be funny

[Jingles]

One of the Toms got to chasing him in the yard the other day so might be one less bird if it happens again get hit with a rake

Unfortunately the way the town ordinance is written can't even discharge a pellet gun or bb Gun in town and No Hunting of any kind within the town limits.  But where my Brother is having to go into the hospital for bone marrow transplant surgery and if he is outside and the tom decides to chase him or his grand daughter again I think there will be turkey in the pot......
