Welcome aboard.  I hope your duck hunting success carries over to your turkey trials.  Too bad, though, the lab can't help...

Thanks for the warm welcome. 


Scouted today and found two big toms with 8 jakes and a handful of hens.......on property that doesn't allow hunting!  LOL  OH WELL!

Welcome to the site!  I,m a turkey hunter from Kansas and was traveling fromPasco,WA to Lewiston,ID by car recently and was of course looking for turkeys.  I saw two groups about halfway and 2/3rds of the way from Pasco to Lewiston.

Good luck this season!

Welcome!

So Oregon opens on the 15th, too?  I'm hunting Idaho, it also opens on the 15th. 

Last year, evening of opening day, my buddy and I were back in camp (only a few miles from the border with Oregon) listening to the radio - some station out of LaGrande.  Anyway, this old boy gets on there for a request and they ask him what he's doing.  He replies:  Well, I'm just sittin here waitin for turkey season to open. 

I broke out in a cold sweat - we both hunted all day and I had a bird hanging outside.  I run out to the truck to get the rule book, yep, we're legal.  It took us a minute to remember that the station was out of Oregon.  To add to that, we were in an area where we were told there would be a lot of guys hunting.  There was nobody else around the whole time and we were trying to figure out what was going on.  We still laugh about that.  Glad to know we won't have a repeat of that this year  ;D

Best of luck to you.

Not going to make it east for scout trip.  I have to work tomorrow and I have some more land to scout in Lebanon/Sweethome area.  It's a lot closer to home too....obviously.  I hope it doesn't bite me in the  for not heading east....   Time will tell.

Scouted some today.  I couldn't get after it first thing as I had a dentist appointment.


Only found one hen.  I had my eye on some good looking areas.....didn't see any turds or feathers or prints.    :(   

I got permission to hunt where I saw the hen, it's in a horse pasture.  The guy who owns it says the birds come through in the early evening.  He said there is four drakes that go through.   This particular spot is only about 1 1/2 hour from my house so maybe it would be a good spot to try when I'm short on time or if I get off work at noon or something...   


Picked up one of the first DSD hen decoys.  It's never been used.  I took it out of the package.  A friend of mine won it at a raffle.  It doesn't have a stand.  I have some goose stands that will probably work.  Maybe I'll call Dave or Brad, I served on the Oregon Waterfowl Festival board with them.  Maybe they can hook me up.
