FWIW I have hunted the Skookumchuck 04/15, 16, 18, & today and I've heard birds gobbling each time. Although I haven't shot one yet I came real close yesterday; had one about 75-80yds away, coming on on a string! Another hunter, seeing me working a gobbler, tried to set up between me & the bird & spooked him. >:( >:( >:( After I got done talking to him I can guarantee he won't be back hunting my spot again! :boxin: :guns: ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Post by: PolarBear on April 19, 2009, 09:07:50 PM: My neighbors hired hand shot one about 100 yards from my back fence this morning while I was spraying fields. There were some *censored*bags hunting for them off of quads across the road on Weyerhaeuser land. I guess that it is okay to trespass on a quad as long as something is in season, eh?

The Powerline access road off shoohumchuck Rd is all private, the whole hill for about 400 yards to the right looking up the powerline and to the left. There are a few that keep walking up there that dont have permission. There is a new clearcut rhat borders the backside of the Private stuff also . I live right accrosss the road . PM me if you would like some more info. Good luck Turkey hunting!

Nitro, congrats on your 2 birds. Let me know if you need some help finding your eastern
