What neighboring state is any better and worth the extra cash?

But central and northern Idaho have excellent turkey hunting, as does Oregon.

Sounds like thar is going to be some feuding going on in the NE starting April 15th, instead of Opening Day of General Spring Turkey Season? Any Hatfield's and McCoy's up that way? Let's not leave out Colville and the surrounding fine communities? Be on the lookout for any "hunters" carrying Backwoods Turkey Calls in their vests! :chuckle:

Not sure why anyone would want to go out of state to hunt turkeys? The NE corner is a damn good place to get some birds.
What neighboring state is any better and worth the extra cash?
:yeah: I wont even pay to hunt a dumb bird here

:yike: I like my Backwoods call better than any of my other dozen pot calls ... but then again I still perfer any of my 5 dozen mouth diaphragms. They're lots easy to pack than the two large tool boxes of pots with strickers, boxes, tube calls, wing bones, etc. :chuckle:

Hey TD, I really like my Backwoods (glass over slate) friction call also. So I retract my statement which should have read: Be on the lookout for any "hunters" in Lincoln County packing Imposter Calls in their vests! :chuckle: :chuckle:

Sounds like most of you are staying in the Northwest or Californa this spring?

Will probably go shoot a couple at my grandma's in Wisconsin if I make it back there during the season. She absolutely hates them and chases them through the woods with her John Deere :chuckle:.
Naches, Hope you can get a picture of John Deere vs. Boss Tom went you next make the trip. :chuckle:

Trying to set something up to go to central Montana in early May. Haven't been back to the family ranch in the spring in a couple years.

Kimber, Cast and blast sounds like a great option! Good looking back ground for your Merriam's photo!
