The sad fact is you are hours of driving away from decent turkey hunting..... and then a couple more hours to good turkey hunting.

Post by: turkeydancer on March 09, 2013, 08:37:44 PM: Latest published harvest was 8 birds (2011) in all NW Wa --- that works out to approximately one tenth of one percent. SW Wa isn't much better at approximately nine tenths of one percent (52 birds in 2011). That means 99% of the harvest happens in Eastern Wa ... go east young man ....

Post by: NWTFhunter on March 15, 2013, 07:12:46 PM: Irish, name a general location you would be comfortable in traveling to.. I will pinpoint you an area, if I know that there are birds in there. You will still have to scout the area, and do the leg work.
