    Re: The 2022 Turkey Thread!

    Talk to the guys at Westside Stores in Salmon Arm. They're pretty well versed with turkeys and might offer up a suggestion or two. Definitely birds throughout 8-22 but most of the ones I know about are very close to neighborhoods.

    Can't speak to 8-26/22 specifically, but I do know the farther south and east you go...the better!

    8-22 the issue is finding public land or access to public land. lots of birds running around to the point it pains me. 8-26 a bit more options to explore but focus on the south aspects

    Re: The 2022 Turkey Thread!

    First year for me to give hunting turkeys a go now that we have moved to the interior. I have read quite a bit and been practicing calling both with slate and diaphragm. I’m pretty pumped as I have quite a bit of time to look for birds and with any luck I hope to just find some, even just to observe and learn behaviour.
    I plan to work in around the Carmi area first as it is an area somewhat close to where I am located. Anyone have any luck in the area in the past? I know the more East and South is better for sure but for now am looking in this area for starters.

    Good luck to everyone.

    cheers

    If you happen to see a silver F-150 with a landscape rack on the back, stop and say hi to me.

    I spend a ton of time around Carmi and Beaverdell. I’ve never seen a turkey that far north on 33. Even Rock Creek area seems to be thin on birds the past few years. So far this year I’ve seen by far the most birds on the hills surrounding Tech Cominco in Trail. I heard a couple of gobbles around town in Christina Lake, but have not seen a single bird there.

    I did meet my new neighbors though. They said “how are you doing”, and I think were slightly put off by my response of “glad to eat you”?

    If we’re not supposed to eat animals, how come they’re made out of meat?

    Heading out today. Going to be a late departure so no time to roost a bird this evening but the excitement level is still high!

    Good luck to all those getting out on opening day tomorrow!
