Hey folks.
So, a couple of friends and I (first season turkey guys) have been scouring the bottoms of 8-1, 8-12 and 8-14 for our first gobblers over the past few days. Basically from the east side of the reserve near Oliver/Osoyoos through Mt Baldy/Mckinney, and east of Westbridge to the kettle valley/Rock creek areas and south from there. We're fairly well versed in other game and hunting strategy in general and feel like we should be having more luck than we are. Saw some young hens today but no luck with anything legal unfortunately.
Basically it seems like were covering a ton of ground but if were looking in the wrong areas we're just spinning our wheels. We've only got one more day to try and bag one, can anyone that has tagged out suggest a more specific area where there might be birds? I would appreciate any suggestion at this point, and we dont mind doing the legwork (clearly lol) if anyone would care to share some direction. We would like to go further east but we're based out of Lake Country so a drive to say, the Christina lake area, is out of the question unfortunately.
For the record, Ive never seen as much wildlife as I have over the last few days. Moose, Elk, and eyeballed 72 deer yesterday. Amazing country down in that region. Just no legal cluckers! Feel free to pm me if you dont want to plaster hotspots all over the web. Thanks all.
