    Hey Beeker.I have seen several and so have a lot of other people.You live in the wrong part of tha Okanagan.I saw the first one three years ago.They are not real plentiful in area nine yet but just because you have not seen any in the Kelowna area does not mean much down here in tha southern Okanagan.

    Re: Turkey hunting

    In 2006 the turkey population was on the rise .As one who spends half my time hunting upland game U can bet your ass I have been keeping an eye on those sweet birds. In 2007 we noticed a decline in numbers in the posill area but still a few were around.I hunted grouse a couple of times when the dogs would put up a gobbler, now that is something to rattle you when they fly. For 2008 Idid not see one bird ,I suspect poachers or coyotes. I am still in a couple of areas on a daily basis picking up garbage and monitering lakes so if I see anything interesting I will post .

    Re: Turkey hunting

    Just FYI, I picked up a video last week by Primos called "Mastering the Art" of spring turkey hunting, it comes with a mouth call and really teaches the finer points of turkey hunting, and all the strategies. It was only $15, and is well worth it for the novice turkey hunter...

    Re: Turkey hunting

    This winter I have seen over 30 turkeys , but along the Hwy.

    One day saw 8 nice ones just north of Beaverdell.
    Last week saw a flock of 6 by Bridesville.
    Have also saw 8 in Rock Cr.

    Things are huge.

    First one I ever saw while hunting in Beaverdell about 9 years ago.

    A buddy in Westbridge started to breed them & let them loose over 20 years ago. He was taken to court for it, but it was thrown out as they were native to the area.
    This fall I also saw a flock of Valtures (spelling?) in Christian Valley

    Re: Turkey hunting

    Videos and books are a good way to learn more about turkey hunting and so is spending time in the outdoors and observe the animals.
    Another good way, the best, to get new turkey hunters started off on the right foot is to attend a seminar. As look would have it there is a great four hour turkey hunting seminar coming up in Vernon.
