Ended up changing my strategy to 117 / 121. Without giving up too much info, met a lady and she invited us to hunt on her property, said she lived in turkey land, and she did indeed. Didn't actually get one on her land but got one on the road near it!
Not the biggest one but it was a clean shot and my first ever bird, first ever anything!
Tastes AWESOME too!! Made some schnizel tonight and making soup with the rest tomorrow.

Huge congrats! It sounds very similar to how I got started not long ago. :hello: :tup:

Its a long drive north east of the mountains from Olympia! I will unfortunately probably have to wait until spring... though I do have one tag left! I did see a small group in Cle Elum last Tuesday near Suncadia. It was private land though.

I was about to say "Yeah, that" but I double checked the regs and through tomorrow you can hunt 568-578 (a little further west than klickitat). That's new this year!
But yea, it is a long drive from Oly to the rest of the GMUs. Anyway, welcome!

Your first kill is a turkey with a bow? You've got a bright hunting future ahead. Congratulations and welcome to HuntWA! :tup:
Thanks! Hopefully so! I really enjoy shooting a bow, fished all my life, never thought about hunting until recently. Probably going to go for a deer here in November. Only ate that once but it was pretty tasty

You can still sign up but I would keep.my eyes open for a turkey hunting seminar. I usually do some at the Sportsman's show at the fairground in Puyallup. I do one at the gun range you did hunters ed at to. Birds don't generally respond to calls in the fall. That is a spring time thing during their mating season.
Alright that sounds good!
