New Turkey Hunter/New to E Wa
« on: April 05, 2012, 10:40:16 PM »
First post (just remembered my log in finally)

I just moved to Spokane and want to try and bag my first Turkey this year. I have hunted most all species all my life but spent most all my time hunting in Western Wa or in the Blues and have never Turkey hunted. I currently don't have a hunting partner or really know where to go.

I do have a general idea of the best areas to go over here, and have maps. I plan on heading up to Colville area next week and doing some scouting on my own. I'm not looking for anyone's secret spot, maybe just some pointers and/or someone that may be without a Turkey hunting partner. Any tips are appreciated guys! Thanks

Stevens County is about all you need to know.  Knock on some doors, most property owners I've spoken with are very happy to allow you to make a turkey or two disappear.  Then there' public land, and plenty of it...

Just drive forest service roads and locate you will find plenty. I went for a drive the other day and in 15 minutes had 6 different flocks located.

Lots of public land including the Little Pend Orielle Wildlife Refuge, State and DNR ... get off the main roads and find those farm houses that hold numerous birds in their yards ...  :tup:
