Just got back from a 6 day trip to NE Washington, where I tried my luck at hunting turkeys. This was my first time hunting the species and learned a lot about their habits, environment, and terrain while I was there. We pitched camp in a canvas wall tent in the Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge, and had a great time getting out of the "city". Had hens within 15 yards the whole trip but the boys didn't want to play. Oh well...
We came home empty handed but had a great time and will definitely be back for more. I did capture some good shots which I thought I would share. Was nice to hear the grouse drumming, deer snorting, and elk up in the Aspens!
What a neat state to call home.
Camp
First field we set up in
Our "backyard"
Another "almost dusk" shot
On the bank of the mighty Columbia River
After seeing Jode's post about the handmade box calls, I'm starting to draw up a pattern to cut one out for next time I'm in the woods!
