Ummm What to do?

[ghosthunter]

Well the first time  ever, I have no Turkey Hunting partner committed this year. A chain of events have one way or another put all the usual suspects on the bench.

I have a 14 year old grandson I will take out for a couple long weekends, but school gets in the way for him.
So I am playing with the idea of a solo trip to hunt and scout new areas.

I have hunted Sherman Wildlife Area
Coleville Refuge(Little Penn)
Asotin WLA

Looking at the Soda Springs Wildlife area?


Everybody has their favorite spot I know.

If you had  a week to go any public land in the state . Where would you go?

I can pack up and go anywhere I want for any week I want. Dispersed Camping. Planning to go lite and just take my tent cot and a stove.

Anyone got info on Soda Springs?

Any other suggestions?

I have a Spring Bear Tag for N. Skagit. I could just stay home and do that. But am having a hard time , passing up a little Turkey Hunting

I guess I should also throw in that I have a boat load of Quality deer points. I could fore go turkey and put in for a quality deer tag .

If you have a spring bear tag - go get one! Lots of us only wish we had that opportunity this year.

Take the grand son with you on the bear hunt. Usually lots of elk and grouse to see on the hunt.

Well ya.

But not really a hunt. The spring bear is in my home area. I can leave work and in 40 minutes be behind a number of spring bear area gates. Not saying it's easy it isn't.

Just saying no. Camping ,no,tent, no fire. Familiar  country. And a two month season to get the grandson out. Grouse will be closed. So yotes is all he could shoot.

I went for turkey in soda springs a few years ago... Saw a couple but not much action. I'm not much of a turkey hunter but there has to be much better areas in WA for Turks.

If your looking for a partner for a day or two in the northeast. Let me know. I have a lot of time with my job and will be hunting a couple times a week. Its nice to hunt with someone else instead of solo all the time.

If you're going to drive all the way across the state to hunt turkeys for a week I would not go to soda springs. I'd be up around colville if it were me, or maybe down in the blues but I don't have any experience there.

To The OP I haven't turkey hunted in WA before (moved here about 5 months ago) but I have been scouting A LOT and one of the first places I went was Soda Springs. Place is crawling with guys shed hunting and what not and this was even over a month ago when there was still decent snow on the ground. A lot of access in to Soda Springs by truck so I'm willing to bet its going to be loaded with guys in there. Just a heads up and best of luck with your bear and turkeys!
