Has any body hunted the youth turkey hunt by Walla Walla and surrounding areas and done any good with their kids?
-
lots of places to go...up the tucannon or over by asotin...take them fishing and camping at the tucannon lakes..stop in at the last resort up the tucannon and get local info...
-
Thanks for the info Yelp!
-
I've had to stop at a turkey traffic jam behind a school bus just up from the last resort. Birds were struttin and fartin around right smack in the middle of the road. I love that area.
-
i had a successfull 4/4 turkey youth hunts in walla walla lots of turkeys, and lots of feel free to hunt. i live in walla walla and know plenty of places, have any questions PM me.
-
i live in walla walla and have been scouting theres turkeys for sure saw about 200 plus some really nice toms and a bunch of jakes! struting around! and it was all feel free!! let me know if you have any questions! Good Luck!!
-
How's the snow depth over there? Any idea when it will be melting off? Please tell me warmer temps are being forecasted for the next two weeks.
-
It was very nice here in the Tri today !!! I would bet the snow got real soft around Walla tooo.
-
the snow is pretty well melted off for the most part around the foothills. on top of all the mountains there are still a foot or so in the trees that havent seen the sunlight much.
-
i spent the weekend at my inlaws...3500' out of pomeroy and there was about a foot of snow when i got there friday. when i left sunday it was pissing rain and the snow was melting fast. some of the dirt roads up pataha flats and peola are/were still covered with snow. we didn't get down to the tucannon but i imagine the strutters will be lined up across the road from the last resort. i wonder if the longbeard with no tail is still around.
i intended to get around to asotin creek but as usually happens other things got in the way. the goat kids have a real nice pen ready for them rather than me getting any turkey scouting in.
-
Thanks for the heads up guys.. I think I'll take my chances and head that way this weekend. Driving 7 hours has to be justified, lol.. I don't wanna get over there and not be able to do any scouting. Thanks again...
-
i would guess that getting into the national forest at asotin creek or up the peola or the 40 road would be tough. you could get a little ways but you'll get blocked by snow at some point. i hit snow over the road sunday morning way way way lower than the national forest. if you're headed to the tucannon you won't have any issues at all.
-
We were looking at elevations around 3500-4000' at most. Above the Tucannon and not so much in the bottom where every Tom, Dick, and Harry will be. It's supposed to rain the next couple days. Ya think enough will melt off by Sunday?
-
yeah.

Riley,
I think Justin and I are going to hit the youth weekend (4 and 5 Apr). Got any ideas for us? Wanna do some calling? I suck at turkey calling. Send me a PM or give me a call. You and Cory should come out and watch Jus play baseball this year too. He got drafted for the Majors. Had his first practice yesterday, he's stoked..
-
pathfinder101 what team is your son playing for? sorry to thread jack
-
Dairy Queen. He is 10, so this is his first year in the majors. Do you play for WWCC?
-
no im accually at DeSales now and playing for them. i will be playing for cc next year.
-
Oh, OK. He will probably go to DeSales when he hits middle school. Went to Assumption the last 3 years.
-
awesome well dairy queen has always been a good team in pacific he will have fun!
-
He's played since coach-pitch when he was 5. LOVES baseball. Played for Blue Mountain Development in the Minors last year and had an undefeated season. He was so jazzed when they called us Friday night and told him he got drafted for DQ. THey were a young team last year and again this year, so they're building. By the time he is 12 they should be pretty good again though, they picked up several really good 10 year olds this season. A couple of kids that played for BMD last year that were excellent players for their age :jacked:.
An attempt to return the thread to turkey hunting:
Pacific and Valley are supposed to have a Jamboree starting at 10:00 on the 4th (opening day of youth turkey season). I was talking to some of the parents today and I guess Justin won't be the only one scrambling out of cammo and into uniform to make it to the game...
...just proof that we live in a good town... :chuckle:
-
tell him to keep the camo paint on the face, my 11 year old year i was rushing to a game after opening day of turkey season and i forgot to take the paint off untill i stepped into the dugout. its good luck i hit my first homerun that day.
-
Funny thing is that if I told him that he would do it. Then his Mom would kill me. And I would be dead. And she will NEVER marry another hunter. And then there won't be anyone to take my boys hunting.
...so I carry wipeys in the truck specifically for taking off cammo paint. Had to do it for soccer season when he was 7, football this year, coming home late from elk camp just about every year, asleep in the truck by the time we got home, church on Sunday, etc, etc, etc....
-
haha great stuff just tell his mom its great for outfield, it keeps away the suns glare ;)
