Turkey season shut down chances.

[hunter399]

Sure theres turkey out there IF you are "fool" enough to be out in this crap weather.

Its nasty enough i wouldnt be hunting in this even if it was the late whitetail opener.

Now if it was the last day of late whitetail i might put up with it.  But i wouldnt like it.

Pouring rain and wind blowing and swirling.  Good day to hang out in pajamas with a good fire going in the wood stove.

Weather wasn't that bad today rain with sun breaks on and off.
Deer season wouldn't stop me one bit ,thought you guys where a little more hard core than this.wow.
Shot my buck on the very last day of rifle last year ,you could of got a drink of water out of your rifle barrel it was so wet.
Anyway here a pic of sun setting.
And a YouTube went out to get the dog out of the kennel and rattled the gate latch Turkey gobbles all over.

Thanks for your update and advocacy Russ. I haven't been putting it off for any reason other than laziness, but I joined NWTF yesterday instead of going hunting. I'm looking forward to helping out.

Thank you for joining.  We need a big voice here in Washington for turkeys and a lot of times they look at your membership in the state.  Last year over 36K turkey tags sold.  Average 2-3 tags oer person that would mean around 10K plus turkey hunters in the state.  We have less than 600 members in this state.  We are doing a lot trying to get the state to change things in turkey hunting.  We have been without a turkey plan for over 10 years.  No trap and relocate plan in place.  I have been working hard to get something in place but I get ahead some and small game person from WDFW l have to break in someone else.  Our NWTF bio gets a new job so start over again.  Next bio gets rif'd so bow our bio takes care or NV, CA, OR and WA.

That sounds incredibly frustrating. It's hard for any conservation to make progress if there aren't two consistent sides with a plan.
I'm happy to add to that small number of members. I'll help out however I can!

It's frustrating to wake up to gobbles every morning on your own private property and can't hunt them.

Pretty dumb! I agree. All i know if that i should be in the woods all alone, perfectly social distancing. But that’d make me a poacher

Sure wouldn’t mind seeing some more pics to sooth my anguish.

Soothing pics....oscillated  sp? turkey pics of my friends  last turkey for his world slam

If you want a little NE WA turkey hunting fix go watch some of NW Spurchasers videos. John is a turkey hunting addict like no other. He has years worth of mountain merriam chasing action on his channel. More like home movies than polished hunting productions but still get my heart pumping.  I’ve been watching his videos for 4 or 5 years now. Not sure if he’s on this forum.

Russ, you are welcome to come set that up on my place close to a road with no shotgun, need to see if WDFW about!!!!  If they push the point I would be glad to show up in court and demonstrate the social distancing advantages and intruduce some private property concepts.

People all over in visible locations with blinds, decoys, calls but no weapon.  Guys in boats with poles out with no hook, screw with em, make a point.  Sorry, not hunting, not fishing, no ticket.
