I'll be hunting around Spokane.  Have a spot just south on town and might have some private land toward Cheney.  There's another spot west of Spokane that I'm going to scout.

Will hunt opening week near Colville and also south of Chewelah.  Also have a trip planned to hunt several days (guided) near the Smoky Mountains National Park in Eastern Tennessee (first time to this area).

Last year harvested a nice three year old hybrid (Eastern/Rio) hunting private land semi-guided in Northeastern Kansas.  Great turkey hunting property and general area. In Kansas last year it was like yelp yelp gobble.....yelp yelp yelp gobble to a box call, then silence (no more answers to more yelps, cutts etc., so I quit calling) ............. after 10 minutes the ole lone tom suddenly came in quiet and then shied away from the hen decoy to make it a long shot!  I was hunting the 4th week of the Kansas season.  Call shy and decoy shy birds but the toms were not henned up.

RailRob old buddy old pal...Consider two thirty packs?   

[NWTFhunter]

Rail, shoot me your info.. If I get sunked at my place due to weather I will shoot you a call and bring ya some "bush"... you might need some coffee to sober up after that offer..

[HoofsandWings]

The countdown is now down to 10 weeks.
I am looking for Rios to begin the season. Then see what I can do about some Merriams.
Last year the snow was still deep around Spokane in April and so no Merriams.
This one rancher south of Colville had turkeys everywhere a few years back, but after inviting everybody he could find for several years now, the turkeys got the hint and now leave him alone.

[Elkrunner]

I am going to wonder out in the woods somewhere and try my luck for the first time on an official turkey hunt.  I don't have a clue where.  I might try around Teanaway, just because its close to home.

[yelp]

Bird still flocked up...I had a buddy go around and he saw around 2-300 turkeys...One flock has over 35 longbeards in it!!  YELP YELP!
