ya'll can tell it's an addictive sickness just by the length of post about Easterns, this one is starting to run on just like those over on the WANWTF site. We all start rambling on and on while we're drooling :drool: :P

IT SEEMS THAT STIKNSTRINGBOW has the most knowledge on our eastern population and being one of the few who happened to be involved in some of these releases will tell you first hand that alot of the birds turned loose ended up on private land which is very hard to access..There are birds out there but it takes alot of gas and time to find them... Not counting your calling ability.. Softer sounds and alot of patients....Sometimes hours before a bird will come to you... Well good luck and thank stikinbowstring for  his knowledge on hunting easterns in WA.

I am by far NOT the most knowlegable, I have just paid attention when other Eastern turkey hunters speak.
I still have a lot to learn,.... like how to get one...
I also only am sharing information recieved from the great guys in the NWTF, it has helped me find them (also using my boots)
The main reason I have not gotten one is that I have been hunting without a blind using a recurve, I will try the blind this year.

The Moral of the Story hunting Easterns is if you have a good spot, absolutley keep it to yourself, giving away your Eastern spot is suicide.. Ive Killed a few Easterns and the satisfaction is great as a bull elk as many have said.. And if you tell people you kill easterns then you get alot people hounding you for spots.. so hhhuuusssshhh!!!  8)

I haven't hunted them since I left PA twenty years ago; but every spring I consider the possibilities. So this spring as the leaves greened up I was day dreaming as I drove to the job site and damn near got a hen with the truck. The weird part is it was in May valley outside Issaquah! Last fall I ran into a flock near North Bend. Same meadow every morning for the two weeks the job ran! May just have to get a tag.
