    2023 Turkey

    I guess I’ll get the ball rolling on this one. Is it just me or is anybody starting to get the itch for these birds.

    Got a wedding on opening day that I have to attend, hoping to head out the next day to get after some birds.

    Hopefully get lucky this year in region 8.

    My northern side of the property in late fall. Same thing going on this morning on the east side.

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

    Hoping to get out a few times as well! Wish there was a population closer to Kamloops!

    BC wants to capture and send 100's of birds a year to Alberta
    Locations listed must have booming populations

    .....but no one seems to care that opportunities are not increased for BC hunters............FFS
    Glad to say I have hunted Northern BC

    I know they were taking them from Kimberley last year. Everyone in town seemed to be fed up with being chased around by them haha.

    If they handled sheep like this, there would be riots in the streets ..........well, maybe a protest sign or two

    A nice string of warm weather coming up will have that snow line climbing up the mountain and new green growth following.

    Little under 3 weeks for the opener. Not super excited for opening day to land on a weekend but we'll be out there away from the masses.

    Less than 2 weeks away.

    Slow start to spring but maybe some of the Kootenay guys can give an update on green-up over there.
