Title: Turkey area trade.
Post by: GHETTO GUIDE on March 22, 2010, 04:26:43 PM: I will be heading to Chewelah for my first spring turkey hunting in that area. My wifes aunt lives by Waits Lk so I have a place to camp. I have been there before a few times and know there might be a few turkeys around :rolleyes:.

Any one want to trade a fishing trip on the west side / salmon, sturgeon place to stay as well , for a place to get a few turkeys? Or trade salmon in the package/ hallibut or smoked salmon etc.

Just lookin for a decent place before I head over and try to figure out public land. and offering what I can for a trade.
Pm me if not wanting to post.

Aaron.

They will be on the public ground and very accesible. If you are lookin for private land my folks live in chewelah and we could get something for you. PM me if your interested in some help

Ghetto, Lots of public land around Chewelah.. Try Iron Mt... break out your map and you will find lots !

With a little work on the site you can define the areas you can hunt and print out the actual satailite photos showing it's public. (Lot's of ground in the area is posted but is in fact public ground) It also allows you to make easier contact with the landowners to get permisson-you'll find that a lot of areas over there are owned by wetside people, many of whom have no problem letting you hunt if you contact them.

I will have one other person or maybe two if my wife decides to go. I am a beginner turkey hunter, so the buddy calling system like we do for elk on this side makes sense to me.

Post by: PA BEN on March 25, 2010, 06:09:14 AM: Get some of the Truth video's to learn by. If you use mouth calls for elk then it will be ez to use them for turkeys. A good box call is good for a beginner.
