Post by: johnr060 on May 08, 2013, 03:37:52 PM: No birds down yet, its really slow! Had gobbler going nuts on private land next to us but he had hens. Other than that nothing.... Been all over the place and covered lots of ground. Not hearing or seeing much sign.
Getting a little discouraged. Thought about heading down to Dayton because I know it so well. But I don't want to give up on the "turkey capital of Washington" :dunno:. Heading back out. Hopefully i can locate a bird!

Post by: johnr060 on May 11, 2013, 03:18:06 PM: Got home last night. No birds down.... had some close encounters and saw lots of other critters. It was hot and the birds were not making a peep for nothing except at night on the roost and early morning. Located a total of six different gobblers on the whole trip. We tried ambushing a group of birds and a coyote busted that! :bash: Over all it was a great trip. Camped all over the place, and ended up hunting alot north of colville. Knocked on some doors and everyone was more than happy to let us hunt. (sending smoked salmon their way soon). Its always difficult learning a whole new area without a scouting trip to get an idea of where to hunt, but i will be back next year hopefully to kill my first Merriams tom! :)
