Get there a few days prior to opener
You’ll get your opportunities
Good luck

Anyone with a goldendale spot isn't going to give it to you.
I could put you in an area where most people don't look.
The area does have really good camping for families.

Understood thank you. I’m not looking for anyone’s spot I just wanted to know if the area I planned on trying around brooks memorial was a waste of time. I think I got some solid advice though.Thanks for the info. Are you saying it’s a complete waste of time around goldendale then?

I don't have any turkey hunting expertise but did have turkeys in camp at fort Spokane and porcupine bay during winter fishing trips. One wouldn't stop gobbling for hours one morning. Fired off about every three minutes in January

This year get a Vail permit. Close to home, camping and turkeys.
I used to hunt vail back in the day when it was open. I never get lucky when trying to get the vail permit. I started getting a Hancock permit by enumclaw instead just because I actually am able to get a permit. Never seen any turkeys in Hancock though.
Maybe I’ll try and get lucky with vail this year. Thanks!

NE seems to be the group consensus. Which I kinda already figured. I may try and run out to the ne myself early in the season and go with my buddy again down by brooks.
Thanks

I live in western Washington and am trying to get my son and I in to turkey hunting. We have turkeys here but not in abundance. Curious on peoples opinions on NE WA over northern Idaho as far as access and success odds for a beginner. I've heard NE Wa can be a zoo and that north idaho doesn't get as much pressure. Any opinions/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!I wouldn't say any more of a zoo than deer season or any other season.
Idaho is just awesome for everything.
So that's just a matter of where you want to go.

Odds are better in Idaho but I wouldn't run over there unless you know someone that can put you on turkeys. A lot of the good areas on the border are private.
The better turkey areas in through Lewiston. Around Grangeville and further.
I don't hunt Idaho but I had a friend who did. It can work out in the right situation.
