omak turkeys?

[blmathis12]

heading over to a friends piece of property and was wondering how the turkeys are doing? ive never been there or hunted turkeys over there i have killed a turkey in kettle falls a few years ago! what should i expect for turkey numbers and hunter numbers?

[WARHORSE]

poor turkeys are out numbered 5 to 1 if as many hunters as last year!

if you get on private land you should do OK. There is a great guide over there in Tonasket (his office is in Omak). His name is Richard Caryl. He guided me to my first bird 4 years ago.

LOTS of pressure, but there are birds.  Private land would be the best.

The only Turkeys in Omak that I no of are the one that work at the Omak PD.....

my buddy says he was there a year or two ago and they were everywhere they guy has a few hundred acres of land and yes its private! so hopefully there should be birds, as far as i know where the first people hes let hunt his land!

They are pretty easy to find in October-January  . I have never seen one during turkey season. Someday soon I hope to have them frequenting our place though. If you have birds and private land you really upped your odds a lot. Have a great hunt.

There are plenty of birds but good luck on state land unless someone shares their honey hole. Private land is your best bet.  A lot of locals feed them and which pulls them off of the state lands. I hunt both state and private. You will have to get out of Omak to find birds.  If you can get permisson Oroville is a good place to start.  The numbers seem to be pretty good this year from what I have seen.
