Title: Turkey in Wauconda
Post by: mbforest on April 05, 2009, 06:16:47 PM: My family has property near Wauconda and i have seen turkeys in that area in the fall. I have never been over there during turkey season though. Does anybody have any success in that area?

Post by: Birdguy on April 05, 2009, 08:05:57 PM: Where around Chesaw is there turkeys? :dunno: I see property advertised all the time in that area that says there are turkeys on it but I have not seen any in 20 plus years of traveling through. I will admit I have only really looked the last few years but the back side of Mt. Hull is as close as I have seen them. I see turkeys near Summit lake and Fancher Dam in the summer but not in the spring or fall. I would love to hunt that area for turkey as we do for deer and grouse. Not looking for GPS co-ordinance just a general area. Thanks

They are around I don't hunt up there but I see them like you in Summer. I know a few guys that hunt up there and there are pockets of birds..

I will do my best to try and find some birds but if i don't i will still be able to enjoy some nice scenery and stretch my legs. If the turkeys aren't biting i will try for fish.
