Turkeys look out.....I'm coming home

[Birdguy]

Sounds like a great time and mess of nice birds. Having a place to stay in Chewelah is priceless for sure. Nice work.

Looks like I may have to make a trip "home" as well.  Not much luck down here this year.

Great job PaBen !  I tooooo love Chewelah.

I've been hunting turkeys for 21 years. Started over by Hunters, but when turkeys started showing up around Home I never went back. I've been hunting the Chewelah area for 19 years, It's nice to hunt your home ground, I'm a fish out of water over here.

I know where 2 pairs live over here, PA BEN, and I'll protect them with force! I heard tell they have 12 poults every year, but the stinking rotten neighborhood coyotes get every single one of them. Californian owned residential ranchettes make it impossible to control the Coyotes in the valley.

Turkeys for us include a budget for gas!

WOW, is that a threat? Did I say I was going to hunt these birds around here? I know there here and I'm all for letting them build. The average hen well have 9 to 13 young. It only takes one tom to breed all the hens. Taking toms don't heart the population at all, for the ones you see there's more you never see. I don't think it's the coyotes keeping the population down over here, there's tons of coyotes where I hunt and the population of turkeys is as strong today as it always has been. A wet spring will kill off more young then coyotes.

No... I apoligize for the mis-communication. Didn't have that attitude in mind at all. Surprised me you said that.

I just know a few people who they'd have to be protected against, even though they know full well there's only single diget populations here.

(I know you don't have any touble getting your tags filled in Chewelah! Why would I think you wanted to hunt here?)

Mostly I'm discouraged about the inability to control the Coyotes around here.

[PA BEN]

Calling works real will. Give me a PM and we well go out a kill a few.

Getting permission every 100 yards is the problem. Especially when 2 out of 3 former Californians  will scream at you for the idea of killing poor helpless little furry woodland creatures!

Wait until one gets there cat or dog.
