As spring quickly approaches so does the spring youth turkey season and with that Trails End Taxidermy will be hosting it's 3rd annual youth turkey hunt. We have had incredible success in the past years getting kids into birds and this year will be no different. I have already secured some prime locations all on private property with limited to no access and excellent turkey numbers. We have harvested some nice birds in the past few years and it looks like if the weather stays good, this year will be awesome. I have opened this contest up to other on-line sites so the entry process has changes somewhat so please read carefully the "how to enter section"
WHATS INCLUDED:
2 Days turkey hunting (If Needed) Starting April 7th
Trails End Taxidermy Turkey Hunting Hat
Hunters Harvest Breakfast..... After the hunt of course
Turkey Tail and Beard Taxidermy Mount.

Winner must have passed the washington state hunters safety course and have in their possession a valid hunting licence and turkey permit (Not Included) Winner will be notified via email no later than the 21st of March and have three days to confirm their participation in this hunt at which time another hunter will be selected. Hunters must be able to hike short distances, Sit quietly in a makeshift blind and endure hours of shear boredom highlighted by moments of heart pounding, turkey thumpin action :chuckle:

And thanks to the kids that have sent me emails already. I have really enjoyed reading them and it will be difficult to choose the winner. I'll be putting in some scouting oer the next few weeks and hopefully post up some pictures of birds I'm seeing.
Good luck and keep the entries coming

I Just sent out the email notifying the winner. When I get confirmation from them I'll post their name.
I would like to tell all the applicants ( there were allot of them ) how much I appreciated reading your emails. I wish time and circumstance would permit me too take all of you hunting but unfortunately only one winner was selected. I wish the rest of you the best of luck this youth turkey season and hope that next year we can do this again.
Thank You
Jeff

I just got off the phone with Jake from Snohomish Wa. He was selected by committee from the entries and we are super excited to hopefull get him his first gobbler. The one thing that really impressed us about Jake is that he volunteers his time to work for his local NWTF chapter. :tup: Without volunteers like him allot of organizations like NWTF would not exist. Our committee unanimously agreed that Jake's efforts should be rewarded. Now its up to me to put in some hard work and help Jake whack a nice tom. See ya soon Jake, Thanks for your volunteer work and Congratulations.

It was a pleasure meeting Jake and his parents. Were fortunate to have a site where you can meet great folks and share our love of the outdoors and our passion for the game that we pursue. It's times like this weekend that makes filling a tag that much more special.
Thanks Jake Mike and Julie

Jeff and Angie - Thanks for the experience and for all you do to support our hunting heritage with kids!

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you all enjoyed your trip over. I think that sometimes I get more out of hosting this youth hunt then the kids do. I hope to continue this contest for many years and although we don't always get a bird we always manage to have opportunities. Part of being a seasoned sportsman is being able to press on despite missed opportunities and blown set ups. The real prize is the chance to pursue game and the memories that days in the field make. Good Luck of your trip up north and your welcome back anytime.
