Report on longbeards from Colville

[giddyhitch]

Talked with my buddy over there and he said he has been seeing about two dzn turkeys coming out of the woods every morning across from his field. Mmmmmmm I can taste the smoked turkey 

[SpokaneSlayer]

Is that the place where we are going?

[giddyhitch]

Yes it is and I can give you some more good news as well 

[NWTFhunter]

2 dozen..... thats all ?   He must live on the wrong side of the tracks       

[giddyhitch]

Just a figure of speech. Didn't want to alarm anyone

[NWTFhunter]

No, saying there are only 2 dozen is what is alarming........considering the area !

[SpokaneSlayer]

I'm sure there a lot more up there.

[Phantom Gobbler]

My Experience is that in gerneral the further you go north of Colville, the fewer birds that are found.  What have others experienced?

Also how is the bird population on the west side of Lake Roosevelt and north of the Colville Indian Population??

[NWTFhunter]

North of Coleville, just depends on what degree you set your compass.  There are some that are good and some that arent.

I have been on the rez and its nutz !!!  Havent been on the north side before

[yelp]

North  and East of Republic and Curlew is great and also east towards Tonasket from Republic has turkeys....some private mixed with public...I go up to Republic in May...I let it warm up...It doesn't get a lot of sun and the birds seem to turn on a little later in my opinion...There are  lots of areas to try.

How can you hunt on the Rez??

Thanks

What's the snow like out near Collvile especially on the higher hills?

[NWTFhunter]

You Can NOT hunt turkeys on the Res if you are NOT an enrolled member of the tribe.

[BLKBEARKLR]

Ok that is what I thought was just making sure that there was not something I was missing, I have seen quite a few birds there when driving through it. Thanks for the info

Yesterday I talked to a guy who asked me for directions last year, said he was from Chewelah. Of course I asked about turkeys he said they were making a mess of his yard. I told him I could help with that. Anyways, yesterday he said he had about sixty in the yard and his shoes are a mess, when was I coming over? My son might have some fun on the youth weekend.
