A little help for a Disabled hunter

[rut16]

I am wanting to know if any one can point me to some turkeys that are a little closer to the Yakima area within a 100 mile radius I know their is allot more to the east but sitting in a rig for 4-5 hours about kills me if someone could just point me in the general area i can scout it and fig er the rest fromthere they don't need to take me. i have had a couple of neck surgery's and driving the long distance is a killer thanks for your response

I dont know any area close to you.  Wish you could stand a bit of a long ride, cause I know a place I have been dieing to get into further than I normally walk....LOL.

Ask around the site maybe you can find a partner that would be willing to drive and save you the neck pain if you help with gas.     Just a thought.

There used to be turkeys up around Wenas Lake years ago...Don't know exactly where to look.everyone on here fishhunt247 and others may know of another area...other than that Klickitat or the Blues maybe the closest.  Good Luck.

Heard Oak Creek ... brother saw a half dozen along the Little Naches also but that was when snow was flying ... alot of territory and not many birds ...believe the regs say you can only shot one in that area too

I havent seen any around Wenas Lake in a couple of years.   Maybe Kirkl can give you better information as he is in that area..

There are plenty of birds in and around Cle-elum and ellensburg. I have seen them in the LT murray wildlife area as well.

A friend of mine says that the Tampico area is the place to go near Yakima.

sneky could you pm me any of the roads around eburg and cle elum that you know of thanks also thanks to the rest of you to if I get up your way nwtf I will try to contact ya

I would go up to the Teanaway. I think the bird population up there is the greatest in central WA. Klickitat (sp) county as well I have never seen any down there but I have heard them gobbling. If you want some info about teanaway just pm me.

I saw some almost every day last year next to road between Cle Elum and Hidden Valley on my way to Wenatchee, had a couple cross 97 on my way up hill also, before Index. Found Sign up Middle Fork Teanaway last spring. Chased a flock around while elk hunting up the Manastash. Was told by an older (70's) gentleman that he saw some near Observatory (between Wenas and Ellensberg) while shed hunting.......... Klickitat is southwest.......

Hey Rutter, I noticed that there were 81 tags punched in 335 teanaway last year,that's a big jump from the high 40s that they've been holding at the last few years. Might be worth a look? Have you talked to Brenda Kane about starting disabled routes in the spring for Turkey? I'm sure if enough of you guys got together and made up a proposal, she might look at it. She also might pass it around the office for some belly laughs but who cares? I can't see that it would hurt to ask.
