Title: New Turkey Hunter in Ellensburg
Post by: snowyaker on April 07, 2011, 10:19:37 PM: So I started hunting with my Dad and grandfather when I was a kid. I stopped when I joined the Army and now that I am back in Washington I want to get into it again. I really want to go Turkey hunting this spring I was wondering if there was any body that is heading out this next weekend that would want to go. This would be my first time Turkey hunting. PM me, Thanks.

That land you are talking about is private and there is some BLM land but hard to get to unless you know the way ;)

Yeah there are birds around there but most of that area is private and the land owners are hardcore about trespassing.

I am super stoked I saw probably 2 of the biggest Toms I have seen in a long time. And we were able to call them in to about 25 yards it was perfect!!! to bad It wasn't the opener yet. Now I am super excited!!!

Nice moments with your daughter. But the most common mistake hunters make is calling before season. Good luck in calling those back in.
