I appreciate the clarification, also, thank you. I didn't get a gobbler this past spring so I was thinking I'd get the fall tag and look for turkeys while hunting upland birds this fall. Now I just have to figure out where these GMU's are and if they have upland birds, also. And to train my bird dog to point turkeys :)Lots of quail and grouse. Most GMU's open are way eastern WA about the center or WA east. Careful it is not legal to hunt turkeys with a dog. I have hunted Evans, Kettle Falls, Collville they all hold lots of grouse, quail and turkey.

Thanks Russ. I appreciate the heads up on birds, and I was only joking about the dog.A lot of states actually allow hunting with did in the fall for turkey. It is actually in this year's. WDFW 3 year season and policy setting.

Back when? I shot my first turkey in this state when the annual harvest was about 100 birds...now it is about 5000.

Just to be clear you need a tag for each bird. It’s not 4birds per tag. You can harvest a total of 7 turkeys a year in Washington, although very difficult, and you would require 7 tags to do so.

I realize that. But 20 a tag for turkey? Make it a little more affordable and a lot more people would buy multiple tags.
I keep my fingers crossed they'll develop a bundle one day with a wad of tags at a discount rate. I'm sure it will happen right after they establish a wolf hunting season.
