Title: Turkey near chinook pass?
Post by: Thenewguy on May 18, 2009, 06:58:27 PM: Hey guys. I will be heading to my cabin on Chinook (near whistling jack) and was wondering if a jaunt off the mountain would put me near any decent turkey hunting. I went out last weekend and after getting alot to call back i am hooked. Any ideas? thanks guys

It was east of whistlin Jacks by a couple of miles. I also talked to a bow hunter during Sept hunt last year that saw some turkeys up in the hills behind whistlin jacks. He was surprised to see them as he had not heard of them in that area. By the way I saw the turkeys at first light, they were not even nervous. Mike

Head from teh top down toward where they release the pheasants on the wenas side. Next bet, Teanaway. That's quite a run from your cabin on the pass, probably like 2 hours. Not sure that counts as a jaunt.
