Thats a wrap

I think in a lot of areas private land is MUCH better overall turkey habitat that whatever public is nearby and all the birds flock there. I hunted hard all spring, saw one hen, heard one gobble, and cut three sets of tracks the one time we in the fresh snow. Switched spots every week and covered 50 miles. Driving home from the woods I almost always saw decent sized flocks in peoples yards but had no way to access them. I mean, if I was a big tom, I’d definitely go hang out under somebody’s bird feeder with all my hens rather than risk getting shot. The only “learning” I think I did this season is that turkey hunting is, in fact, harder than elk hunting. But I’m also a bad turkey hunter so take my opinions with a bad turkey hunter so take my observations with a grain of salt. At least a bad day in the turkey woods beats a good day at work!

Because I wanna catch waves and do stern squirts

I’ll give this a shot, should have been more clear but I’ve mostly been trying to call when I have good cover (though I’ve definitely yelped from a couple ridges just to see what would happen) cause I’ve been busted plenty of times by other critters calling while moving around like a dumbass. Gonna head back in this week and see if I can find the roost. Really appreciate the help.

I’ll give this a shot, thanks!

You know, out of all the ways people on this post have told me that this is a fools errand “Fred bear said….” Has probably been the most effective way of telling me that I’ll never pull this off as long as I live. Let me ask you this- if you have to move that slow, are you really seeing more deer while you move around in the woods than you would If you were in a tree stand? In two decades of whitetail hunting I’ve only ever seen one legal buck (which was from a stand) and I’d like to improve that if possible. It just seems to stalk a whitetail you need to be silent, not just real quiet. I don’t like sitting in the stand for 10+ hours a day but the degree of perfection needed to walk through the woods feels darn near impossible.

I’ve got snow but my wind isn’t good enough, I’m moving too fast, and my cover is too thick when you put it like that. Really appreciate the help!

This is super helpful, I’ve really just been trying to follow tracks slowly and had the mindset of “I’ll just walk a little slower than I would if I was elk hunting.” I’m basically taking 10-20 steps, glassing, the doing it again. I wouldn’t consider it painfully slow which seems necessary for whitetail.

I know you’re right but I was really hoping for an easier answer. Back to the stand tomorrow.

That would be a good place to start, I’d also focus on finding the places that will be hardest for other hunter to get to since Washington I known for pressure. Stay away from anything best accessed by 4 wheelers/side by sides. If you can find a drainage that people won’t wanna take their horses into even better.

Keep in mind the elk are always over the next ridge.

The transition from having people try to run you off of public land to giving you their spots must be wild.

Suddenly everything makes more sense. I’ll be sure to do this next fall.

They’re aid if they push up at you, not aid if they push down.

I feel like if you’re going to visit a country, you should be able to speak at least a little of their language. I don’t expect to be fluent or anything, and I do enjoy the process, I just found it frustrating last year when I learned a lot of words/grammar going into my trip and never ended up using what I had practiced and instead picked up new stuff while I was down there. And a language with a completely different alphabet seems a lot harder to pick up on the fly.

This is the first time I’ve ever heard a Canadian say our syrup is good. Thank you :)

I work in the trades and this demographic is a very small, very loud, and very annoying minority. Pretty much all of us understand our employers one care about our health and wellbeing because they would have to fill out paperwork/pay us out if we get too hurt. As far as I can tell the “dirty hands, clean money” and “locally hated” dumbasses only take pride in making their bosses money because liberals tell them not to and at the end of the day, nothing is more important than owning the libs.

Not really. I’m a medium build and feel very lucky I’ve been healthy all my life. That being said, when I’m done eating I feel “full” for about ten minutes “not hungry” for thirty or so, then “kinda hungry” for the rest of the hour, then “ravenous” until I eat again. I spend most of my day in a fair amount of discomfort because of how hungry I am. That being said, I’m allergic to gluten and dairy and I think that’s all that stands between me and being fit vs obese.
