Anybody else get drawn for the fall late permit hunt in gmus 101-124 for turkey?
-
i did but you knew that :chuckle:
-
I tink I've got one of those cards at home...

Turkey? Me and my son have one :chuckle:

I tried it last year and it was pretty easy, it almost didn't feel like hunting. The permit is designed for landowners who may have areas where turkeys scratch apart oat hay bales, etc. Those landowners like the hunting pressure. Its a 5 minute hunt if you are in the right spot. Turkey for dinner. Remember Big toms are in bachelor groups, but when its cold they show up too.

My son and I were drawn.
Anybody got any advice on where we should go?
-
i was drawn as well. already got my hunt lined up, land owner's been scouting the turkeys for me. just gotta wait and get up there. cant wait!!
-
I was drawn as well. This is my 3rd year.

still working on my late fall bird... saw some just couldnt get one due to them being right off the road and on private land. it was soooo frustrating ;) but i guess thats turkey hunting.
-
I got one but due to budget am eating it.

I shot a bearded hen :o so I made bacon wrapped turkey breast for an Turkey day appetizer. OH YEAH!!

Anyone headed over for the last weekend of the NE permit hunt. Driving conditions look to be a little iffy getting over pass. Has anyone had any luck during the last week?

Was able to harvest my first Fall Turkey hunting near Chewelah last weekend! :)
Hunted one area for half a day where there had been birds before the snowfall, but I could not find any sign
Does anyone know how long turkeys might stay in the roost when it is snowing and blowing? :dunno:
Went to another area for the afternoon hunt, and was able to tag a young Jake that was heading up the hill in 8" of new snow!
It was a good hunt, basically spot and stalk. Need to find the large flock(s) and then try to sneak in or hide and intercept. Will put in for a NE Fall Permit again next year.

My son and I ate our tags, didn't have time to get over :bash:
