RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
Thanks for the encouragement, Wayne.
Pointshoot777 - You are right. Any day spent hunting is a good one. I just got back from Klickitat. Left my house last night around 8:45 and arrived near Glenwood around 1 AM. Tried to sleep in the truck until 4:45 and then started hiking in. About 6:30 this morning I was walking down an old road when I spotted a doe about 80 yards in front of me in the road. She was looking up the hill so I glassed in the direction she was looking and saw two yearlings. She scurried up the hill to meet them and scoot them off. When I glanced back down the road I saw movement and assumed it was a fourth deer. I soon realized it was too small for a deer. It was a hen not 10 feet from where the doe was first standing. It must have been right there "grazing" right along side the doe. I have never seen deer and turkeys together before - only in pictures. I thought it was pretty cool. Ended up seeing two turkeys, 13 deer and 4 elk. It was a long drive, and I am pretty tired right now, but I would call it a good trip.
I am done for the year though. For those of you that got turkeys please post pictures so we can see them.
