Title: What are my chances??
Post by: BLKBEARKLR on May 06, 2009, 10:15:23 AM: So wife has from the 22nd thru the 25th of May off. We are thinking about going back over to the Colville area to do some late season turkey hunting. I have never hunted that late in the season, was just wanting to know what our chances are?

I want her to get a bird this year as she will be deployed again next year and will not be able to hunt.

So it is either Turkey hunting or Musky fishing.

Thanks for any input...

Joe

i agree good odds.

Thanks for all the input...
