Title: Strangest Turkey Sighting Ever?
Post by: MR5x5 on October 31, 2011, 12:02:59 PM: I was crossing the Vantage bridge on I-90 for the youth pheasant hunt at the end of September, and mid span on the south rail stood a Jake just looking out over the river.... Can't imagine how he got there. Did not even think there were turks in that part of the country?

Jake's thinking how did I get up here and now what do I do. Jake must be friends with Barry the fence post turtle.

Scared the guff out of me and my hunting partner but was the only thing we saw that day! Had no clue there was turkey's up there.

It just doesn't surprise me anymore when I see or hear them in places and at times of the year I wouldn't have in the past ... I definitely feel that's great news for the sport.

Post by: Gobble Doc on December 20, 2011, 05:11:34 PM: I saw the same turkeys off Bunk Foss road a couple years ago at Hwy9 and Hwy2 in Snohomish. I sat and watched them. My sense is that someone local may have been trying to bolster the population.

Post by: jnevs23 on December 24, 2011, 12:10:06 AM: phantom- 8 or so years ago when I lived in Snohomish I swear I saw a few birds in the valley. It was in a field off river rd right in the middle of the valley. Went home and told my dad and he called BS. Told two friends of the family who have lived in clearview their whole lives and they said turkey vultures. I still swear to this day they were turkeys.
