Gordo,while tagging along with an experienced hunter will speed up the learnig curve don't be afraid to try it on your own.Learn every thing you can about turkeys and turkey hunting.The spring turkey woods is a majical place whether you are alone or with a partner.

if you can't find anyone to help you,go it alone and learn all you can.
that's the way I learned,I made a lot of mistakes,that I hope I don't make again.
get some trukey video's and watch,get several different calls and see which you can use!!!!
good luck on your hunts this year,keep us posted on progress.


I am not a hunter I am a whitetail population reduction specialest

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.

gordo84....I'm not an expert....have been hunting turkey here in the state of Washington for about 12 year's now...I've never been one to reject a new hunter to the sport. Your alway's welcome to tag along. I do take out alot of people during the season...so can't promice you a shot at one....But...........your welcome to bring your smoke pole.....or bow......If your interested.......send me a note....Not sure where ya live ...But I'm here in Colville....up in the N.E. corner of the state.....Wayne

Enjoy hunting, racing, and hope to be able to train my new lab pup

Gordo, I've only been here about 1 1/2 years, and I don't have many hunting buddies that are serious turkey hunters. I live in Puyallup, so I'm probably one of the closest guys to you. I don't really have any spots on this side of the state, but I'm going scouting on Friday in Capitol Forest outside of Olympia. If I find birds, you're welcome to tag along with me sometime. I'm not sure which way would be closer for you, but we could meet in Tacoma and head down to hunt. I don't know what kind of teacher I would make, but I chased Easterns in the Deep South for about 12 years off and on. Let me know if you're interested, and I'll keep in touch as the season gets closer.
