I am off to Castle Rock to find a turkey

[HoofsandWings]

I have a couple of areas picked out. I will probably see about 50 of my closest friends down there.
It should be better than seeing 500 of my closest friends over in the Colville area.

Good luck.

Hmmmmm..  Not sure how to take that.....  Woudering if I ought to be Happy you never knew me or not ?   lol

The wind will be an issue!

[HoofsandWings]

I have found some areas protected from the wind.
I am not sure how high the turkeys are, so I am looking at likely food.
Apparently it is prom night around here and even though I was on a remote logging road.
Several vehicles, one with a couple of cases of beer went by me along with a car full of girls.
This was after 7pm.
Hopefully they won't keep the turkeys up all night.

This cracks me up!   It is prom night tonight from what I heard, and if things haven't changed I'd imagine your turkeys might be sleeping in tomorrow morning!

I must be jinxed hunting around Toutle. I find this great spot. In the dark I hike in for 30 minutes. When I am within a couple of hundred yards of where I am going to set, a pack of coyotes start singing exactly from my set up spot. They run off when I approached, but the damage was done. They sang for several minutes and if there were any turkeys roosting in a nearby tree,
they had left town by shooting light time.  And then there was this one very lonely grouse that was performing a mating call continuously for an hour at least.

There was a lot of wild turkey being passed around toutle during elk season  but I've never seen a bird near there in the spring.  You've actually seen a turkey near there ?

[buckhorn2]

You need to put up the turkey call and get out the coyote call.

Had the same coyote experience right after a very loud explosion toward the Arden area, but amazing enough it made the toms gobble even more ... was able to move in and setup. Go figure ....

Were you hunting at river level?

Easterns don't gobble. At least I have never heard one. Just hen talk.

I've heard Easterns gobble many, many times; bothy on the roost and through out the day.
