Title: What is a doable west coast turkey tour?
Post by: 253shotgunner on February 24, 2022, 01:12:29 AM: I live in WA. So Oregon n Idaho would be easy. What other states would you add? Cali? Nevada?

Nevada is a tough state to draw a tag for turkeys so I would rule it out if you havn't preplanned to hunt there. Having that said I'm hoping to do more of a mountain west states tour this spring, pending diesel prices not skyrocketing between now and then. I'll start in Oregon, drop to Utah, head east to Wyoming, and finish in the Dakotas. If the hunting goes well I could add Colorado. I've already harvested birds in Nebraska, Montana, and Idaho, but those states could easily be added if I wanted to repeat hunt them.

how much was your montana license/tag costs? how many birds? otc or draw there?
