How far do you want to travel and when do you plan to hunt?

Suggest hunting on the eastside (most birds harvested in NE Wa) as less than 2% or only 99 birds were harvested in 2010 in all of western Wa and you can bag 2 over there and only 1 over here.

You may also want to catch a turkey hunting clinic next year - did 3 ea 2 hr clinics at Lacey's Cabelas and 1 in Puyallup's Sportsmans Warehouse this year that covered all the basics plus more.

Myself ... booked totally up this late for this year ...

Might be able to sneek you out when you are over for the blues fest?  I got spots close by.  When is it?
Wild Turkey, Walleyes, Whitetails and Wapiti..These are a few of my favorite things!!

You let me know what weekend would work for you and I will be there. I'll bring dinner and breakfast. :) Is Misty hunting too?
