Title: 2 soldiers back from Iraq needing help for Fall Turkey
Post by: slbeasley on September 19, 2008, 01:05:44 PM: My buddy has spent 15 months in Iraq and will soon be off to Warrant Officer school. He really wants to bag a bird before he goes. It looks like Stevens County along the river would be our best bet, but I cannot locate any public land. Can anyone offer some advice?

It would be hard to turn down a soldier that spends some much time serving our country. I think there is couple people on here from davenport and hawk creek area. Might be something to check in to.

Thank you for your service, good luck, let the farmers/property owners know your situation, you are a shoe-in.

Again, thanks.

There is a lot of federal and state land (public) land around. There are plenty of turkeys around this area. Another area to try would be the Republic Area in GMU 101 lots of public land and roads. Good luck.
