What are my chances??
« on: May 06, 2009, 10:15:23 AM »
So wife has from the 22nd thru the 25th of May off. We are thinking about going back over to the Colville area to do some late season turkey hunting. I have never hunted that late in the season, was just wanting to know what our chances are?

I want her to get a bird this year as she will be deployed again next year and will not be able to hunt.

So it is either Turkey hunting or Musky fishing.

Thanks for any input...

I'd say your chances are pretty good.  I drilled my bird on the second to last day of the season last year.  They were still gobbling up a storm.

a lot of the hens will be bred by that time, so toms will be getting desperate and can be really stupid.

i agree good odds.

Well was hoping that was going to be the answer, looks like I will be getting the toy hauler all hooked up to go and enjoy some quality hunting time with the wife..

Thanks for all the input...

last year was my first attempt at turkey hunting. I didn't even start till about the second week of May. My calling then was more successful than it has been so far this season. Take it for what it's worth.     -Nathan
