I live in the Seattle area and my grandson who really wants to hunt turkeys lives just east of Redmond. I know King & Snohomish counties have very few if any turkeys at all and I have tried to locate birds by talking with biologists, loggers, hikers and whenever I am out in the woods in either county and have had no luck at all.
About how far south from Redmond will I have to drive before I start to get into some areas that have a higher probablility of seeing turkeys?

To get sa kid into turkey would the Cle Elum/Ellensburg are be a better area or should I go south to the Yakima area?
I would definetely recommend going to the colville area like others have stated. Lots and lots of turkeys up there.
I have a 50% success rate in yakima county the past 8 years. Last year, I went all season without seeing a legal bird. It is tough to find them if you don't track them all winter.
Up in the north east corner, you can find birds as soon as you get out of the truck :twocents:.

I would not go that far unless you're trying to keep people out of your areas. There's a bunch of turkeys up there but they're not tied to every tree as you make it sound.

no there's not that many, but there is definately more than the yakima area. The ones around yakima are hard to keep track of as they tend to really disperse when the snow melts like it has this year. Colville is your best bet for success.To get sa kid into turkey would the Cle Elum/Ellensburg are be a better area or should I go south to the Yakima area?
