Turkey problems around Spokane

[quadrafire]

Funny thing Ridgeratt, I've been turkey hunting up by Colville in the past, skunked and driven home 2 hrs empty handed and have had to wait for Toms to cross the road just down the street from my house.

They are where you find them. One year I was standing on my deck up north after chasing them in the morning and heard a Gobble. There is a tom Strutting in my back pasture so I throw a cut at him and here he comes wanders up to the burn barrel when I could have one 30 feet behind the house and starts spinning and a twirling. Hadn't filled the tag yet but just couldn't shoot him he was to much luv struck.

But for what it is worth birds were going off last weekend. Did see some large flocks between Colville and Chewelah

WDFW should make airgun hunting legal.

Wouldn't matter if they did, Spokane city ordinance does not allow pellet guns.

A city ordinance against pellet guns makes more sense than a statewide ban on hunting with one.

Maybe WDFW needs to spend some time editing their information, they already look stupid enough most of the time.   

"The volunteers will then oil the eggs that are not viable so they never hatch."  Not viable eggs will already not hatch, duh....

Honestly, it would be really easy for WDFW to trap these birds. 

i wondered if any one caught that

A few weeks back a flock of eight held up traffic on Pines and a block north of Sprague, just meandering through businesses.  There was a dead one on the I-90 on ramp at Sullivan yesterday morning.
