My First Turkey Hunt
« on: April 07, 2010, 05:02:03 AM »
Good morning all, Joined this site yesterday at the urging of Phantom Gobbler. I live in Grand Coulee and have watched the Turkeys off my deck for about 6 or 7 years. I have taken some awesome pictures, watched the flock grow from 4 to 49. I have a one acre parcel next to my house were they hang out most days. I like watching the Toms strut there stuff this time of year, I never had a big urge to hunt Turkeys but am giving it a shot this year. I will try and post some of my pictures in the next couple of weeks. I am looking for places to hunt closer to Grand Coulee if you have any ideas? Big Shout out to Yelp!

Welcome to the site and even if you don't hunt atleast you got good fishing in your area!!
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Welcome!
We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

sounds like you could probably squeal them in right from your back porch. Yelp would be down for that.

welcome to the site....now lets see some pics.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
