Are there any turkey hunters out there?

sisu:
When I am not hunting them I see them. In fact last fall I have 10 walk up to my blind and then go around the blind pecking and scratching and finally two got into a tussle over something. Funny as heck to see because the rest of the "herd" stood back to watch the action. It did not last long and they walked off and disappeared. But when I am deliberately hunting them I don't even hear one.
The only turkey I've harvested so far was one that walked into a truck last fall. Got its head stoved in. I stopped and threw it in the pickup truck and drove home. Good eating and the feathers are being used for fly tying.

I turkey hunt every spring.. I'm itchin' to get out there a listen for some gobblers. Hopefully it will only be a couple weeks before that start gobbling good..

The first time I ever went hunting was with a fellow army buddy near Scranton-Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. It was for turkeys. I was mostly along for the ride.. We didn't get anything but someone in the party got scared while we were out in the brush and accidentally shot a grouse. Needless to say that person didn't feel so proud of himself.  :P I remember someone grumbled that the grouse is the state bird there. 

As far as Washington State turkey hunting goes , I have never tried it. I've only seen turkeys while out riding my mountain bike near Mission Ridge; close to Cashmere. Almost all of the species which people like to hunt I see usually when out on my bicycle in the summer instead of hiking around. I think that mode of transportation allows you to sneak up on them.

I started hunting them 5-6 years ago and have taken several with my shotgun.  I tried it last with my bow and got my butt kicked.  Well, I finally did manage to miss one.  I'm getting really physched up to go.
