Snow Storm bird down with a bow
« on: November 23, 2009, 05:46:09 PM »
Well took a friend of mine out to my uncles dairy to get him his first bird with a bow. It took 4 shoot thru out the morning but we got 1 at 8:30 at 12 yards out of a ground blind.

Good looking bird and congrats on doing it with a bow!!  We had a few chances last spring with a bow but we went 0 for three on our shots!!   :dunno:

maybe i'm missing something obvious here, but I didn't realize that there was a late turkey season open that late for bows. how late is it open?
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

There are 3 seasons in this state (and when a turkey season is open it's legal to use either shotgun and/or bow only as mentioned earlier):

Spring - April 15th thru May 31st (there is also an earlier weekend youth only prior to the general start)

Early Fall - Usually a two week period that spans the end of Sept. into Oct. and only in parts of eastern Washington

Late Fall - Units 105 thru 124 only (NE corner of the state) - 1 either sex bird - Nov 20 thru Dec 15.

Best to read the Spring Turkey and the Fall Hunting regs for dates and areas open, what weapons are legal, etc.
