How far do you want to travel and when do you plan to hunt?

Suggest hunting on the eastside (most birds harvested in NE Wa) as less than 2% or only 99 birds were harvested in 2010 in all of western Wa and you can bag 2 over there and only 1 over here.

You may also want to catch a turkey hunting clinic next year - did 3 ea 2 hr clinics at Lacey's Cabelas and 1 in Puyallup's Sportsmans Warehouse this year that covered all the basics plus more.

Myself ... booked totally up this late for this year ...
