Excellent bird MILES. Find any bones while you were out there. I was headed your way today but decided to play with PVC all day instead. I'm not sure which one would have been more productive, I know which one would have been more fun. I almost went though, with Jackelope dangling those moose sheds under my nose.

I was gunning for sheds. I gave up on birds I think. I was going to get one to taxidermy the thing in full strut. I've never done that, so wanted to try it. My trip that I had with my daughter got spoiled do to WASSL testing, so I rescheduled and cancelled turkey or spring bear in Idaho, and chose to be with her. I called in a bunch while I was shedding earlier, so had the fun, just catch and release. Anyhow, I would love to get over to look for some moose sheds. I imagine that things are getting pretty green over there and they would be harder to find. I just need to give up on elk a little earlier and get over there sooner.

Hey Bone, where did you call in the birds at, in the neighborhood.
-
That was on my Colville expeditions. The only other local bird I heard was the one I mentioned to you earlier. There were a couple over by E-burg in LFs sheddin zone. They had some guys takin a look at them though. The other one will be unmolested until they open the gate.
-
Is that up where you were finding all those sheds. I dont think you said you heard one up in there, just saw some feathers.
-
Nevermind, i just read the PM about the bird.
thanks for the info. Not sure where that is but ill do some lookin
-
I sent you another PM.

those colville birds were not talking much for us either. not like last year anyway. not sure if it's too early or too late or i just can't call, but i had no issues last year. even shock gobbling to locator calls was not happening like i've seen in the past. i was curious if anybody else had this experience or if it was just me.
nice looking bird BTW...congrats
bone...i can guarantee there WERE at least 4 more sheds over there for you to go find. not sure if they'd still be there or not, but it's worth a shot.
:P

Some of the turkeys that we found in the blues won't gobble until about a hour after daylight, and the gobbling is random. Sunday in the rain we found a turkey that gobbled to from daylight to noon but would come to the call from several locations. Overall we haven't heard a lot of gobblers.
-
we'll be heading down to the blues this weekend. hopefully they'll be more fired up by then.
-
Would you stop....I know I need to get over there. I am thinking that this is an investment of time. If I get these automatic sprinklers working, I'll be able to do all sorts of stuff.
-
We hunted around Colville and they were gobbling at random also about 15 minutes after first light.

Would you stop....
geewizz...i hope i don't accidently stumble onto some big 7 point bull elk sheds in the blues... 8)
we won't be too far from the 440 bull.

I've been working at about the 4,000' elev lately on the Hunters-Springdale divide and the toms are gobbling up there and nobody hunting them. I guess people don't know they are living that high. Been seeing alot of moose lately there too.
-
I'm thinking that would end my turkey hunting for the day. With your luck, you might just find one of those laying in the road. ;)
