Title: Turkey Hunting Near Leavenworth/Plain
Post by: jjordanjhj on April 09, 2015, 08:28:07 PM: Pretty new to turkey hunting. Still waiting to bag my first bird. Hunted last spring near Cheney. Saw several toms but did not get a shot off. Looking for some prospects closer to home (Everett). Noticed a few turkey near the Chumstick Hwy between Leavenworth and Plain this past winter. Can anyone tell me if there are many turkey in this area? Not against knocking on doors but any public land areas in this region that would be good to check out? Thanks in advance for any advice :)
