Nephew picked up 40 lbs. during the turkey hunt, we ate them all-didn't know they were going to be buying them. Quite the spectacle, tents everywhere.

Baldo I'll bet that area will be trashed after they leave.
I read somewhere that there were restrictions on the amount harvested and no commercial pickers. That may have been N Idaho???
A guy in the paper offering $20/lb.

its tough on this side of the mountains, much easier to find on the Eastside. Another reason to draw a spring bear permit over there!!

I suspect they'll leave a mess alright. I'm wondering what effect 300-400 kunckleheads wandering around up there will have on the fawning/calving season and also on the nesting turkeys. From what I've seen that group won't really be to environmentally carful. I heard beer sales are way up in the local stores.
