To all you guys turkey hunting the Chewelah, Colville area the first week of season. I will be at my Dad and Mom’s place and they don’t want a lot of people over. But you guys that are camping maybe we can have a Hunting-Washington get together? What do you think? Any ideas?

Yes I'll be hunting the Refuge up colville way. Been good to me. Rick

We may end up that way also. S of now we are looking around Springdale but we generally stay at the fairgrounds in Colville with several other Hunt-WA members

. Good luck and have a safe hunt to all who get out!

Will be up there Wed-Sun camping/hunting with my brother. No idea where we are setting up camp. Have never been up to the corner, if you have any suggestions and places to drop camp let me know. Thanks.

They closed the refuge down this year, said only xxlx7 and huckleberry get to hunt it this year.... Sorry guys looks like you might as well not even pack your bags!!!

Had planned on going to Benny's for a couple of days versus taking the trailer to the fairgrounds, but unless they pass the federal budget my leave will be cancelled as I was deemed essential personnel. This sucks ...

Be at the fairground thursday till I get tired or the wife demands I come home. Always a beer here for you in the evening Al. Serene is going to CA with the kids to get out of this damn rain. Dad and Fred will be there Sun night. Two more days on the road then vacation. Cannot &*%ing wait.

Phantom Gobbler · « **Reply #15 on:** April 08, 2011, 04:40:08 PM »

Planning on being in the area for the first two days ........ but with limited time to hunt, I will be all business chasing Jakes and hopefully 2 year olds. I've given up on 3 year olds ........ bad birds!!

turkeydancer · « **Reply #16 on:** April 09, 2011, 11:40:41 AM »

They passed the Federal budget, so the trip is back on --- at Benny's Thursday and Friday nights for sure ... and dependent on success maybe until Tuesday at noon.

turkeydancer · « **Reply #17 on:** April 09, 2011, 11:44:08 AM »

PG - Send those bad 3+ yrs old my way ... I'll teach them better behavior for you !

Sneaky - Looking forward to seeing you and yours.

TD, Glad to hear your back in the game for the big weekend. Have a great opener! Not sure yet if I will be hunting north of you or south of you yet .............. keeping my options open at this point. And yeah we will need to find some beard draggers if we are going to keep up with Turkey Slayer and Yelp!

scottcrb · « **Reply #20 on:** April 10, 2011, 11:38:22 AM »

As a general rule you are most likely to find guys around camp after dark but not too late (morning comes real early this time of year

). There will be guys in and out mid day but dark is your best shot. As for finding the fairgrounds that is real easy head halfway through town and take a left follow to the edge of town. There are lots of signs to where it is as well. Good luck!

turkeydancer · « **Reply #25 on:** April 12, 2011, 12:17:42 PM »

Fairgrounds ... Heading north, take the left just past Les Schwab tires and go down hill a couple blocks ...

Devinshoe · « **Reply #26 on:** April 12, 2011, 11:32:41 PM »

PG - thanks ... guess it doesn't matter if you're north or south of me as long as you're not downwind of me ... could ruin your day ... good luck to you and all our Hunt NW group on getting some 25# draggers ... be safe.

turkeydancer · « **Reply #30 on:** April 13, 2011, 03:08:41 PM »

Short trip this year so not taking the trailer to the fairgrounds ... I'll be checking in about noon to Benny's then off to take my landowners some thank you gifts (elk meat, deer meat, salmon, jug of their favorite, or other).
