Title: Turkey Hunting near Grand Coulee Dam.
Post by: cryfowl on February 28, 2011, 04:00:56 PM: My wife is going to be running a marathon at the Grand Coulee Dam this turkey season. Since I don't run, I am looking for suggestions for areas I can go and do a little Turkey hunting over the two days we are going to be there. Not looking for specific locations (unless you wanna tell me :chuckle:) I have never taken a turkey so any help would be greatly appreciated.

It must be to Nespelem and back a couple times. :chuckle: Anyhow, about the turkey hunting it that neck of the woods: I'd personally research public land access in Lincoln County through the WDFW hunt/access page. Scouting will be the key though. Good luck.

An hour in a northerly or easterly direction will put you in turkey country. You can be hunting Rios in Lincoln County (not a lot of public land), hunt Merriams in Stevens Co. in an hour drive, or hunt Okanogan County in several areas. Not a lot of public land in the Grand Coulee Area. Good Luck!
