Title: Fishtrap Turkey Hunting.
Post by: osubuckeye on February 15, 2011, 02:17:48 PM: Question for everyone. I usually go to Northport for my spring Turkey season but this year thanks to a family get together in Cheney, I am stuck hunting that area. Has anyone hunted the BLM Fishtrap area or have any other suggestions for hunting near Cheney? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any hunting is better than sitting at home and watching it on TV.

I agree. been out there alot and never seen turkeys. Lots of other places close that are better. NE washington is #1 in the state you know... call up thge wildlife biologist for the area and ask what they'd suggest closest to Cheney my :twocents:
