So we are all betting it will be shut down. When we know for sure?
I believe on the 6th.

From there website
Hunting seasons: The youth turkey hunt scheduled for April 4-5 is canceled. Six game management units that were scheduled to open on April 1 for spring bear hunting will now be closed pending further evaluation. Nearly 90 percent of spring bear permit holders in northeast Washington would be traveling from outside the area.

Youth who were planning to hunt on April 4 or 5 may still use their tags in the regular spring or fall turkey seasons, pending further impacts. The spring turkey season is scheduled to run April 15 through May 31.

On April 6, WDFW will reassess its ability to open the impacted hunting areas, as well as several other upcoming hunting seasons.

A limited number of open hunting seasons that are winding down or have limited participation that does not create the same public health concerns remain open.

So yes they will revisit it on Monday.
Call the governor and it will be closed.
I don't see how they can open anything till April 30,social distance is all about keeping people spread out .Now they think combine youth to general season is a good idea.Then add spring bear hunter to Turkey hunter for a huge opening day.They have no clue of social distance.

Highly doubt turkey will open since the stay home blah blah order is now through May 4. This now impacts lingcod fishing, which frankly, provides a lot more meals for my family than turkey hunting as well as likely shrimping.  :bash:

This is just a suggestion,But it never hurts and email WDFW and ask for season to be extended.  I'm sure it's not on the top of there list but maybe enough people want it ,they will cave in.
I can look up some email links if there is any interest after Monday when it's a no/go .

I’m with Gobble. Don’t expect to go turkey hunting till the fall. Get refunds if you can. This season is in the books. Glad I didn’t buy my tags. Only buying points for big game this year. 2020 is shot.

Our best hope is a full month in May. Wouldn't care if they capped the bag limit.

This is hard for me, I have private land right out my back door to hunt turkeys and to fish. :bash: I have 2 of my daughters home through this, 1 from collage the other not working until this blows over, she works in Spokane. I was going to take both of them turkey hunting while they were here. Same with fishing the Colville river that runs right through our land. I feel better having them home for this.  :tup:
