Hey I was wondering if anyone could give me a hint on where I might be able to find turkeys in region 8. We were planning a spring bear hunt and a turkey hunt with my brother in-law and his grandpa. Just hoping to get something on grandpa's last hunt.

Traditionally one posts a joke and says hello before asking people for gobbler spots. That being said there are plenty of bears to be found around in region 8 pick any fsr and start going slow.

I have never hunted region 8 for bears or turkeys, but can tell you in the EK I have had my best success really early for turkeys...like the first week of open and towards the middle of the season for bears, ie late May.....what I am trying to say is the prime time for both don't really overlap. I would focus on one when timing your hunt and then hope for a bonus secondary species. The one great advantage of combining the 2 is the best times to hunt during the day are very different. Wake up REALLY early and hunt gobblers, have a nap mid day and hunt bears at last light! Good luck and post up a story of your success

Might be late start this year....still lots of snow. Bears will be out May as always. Still at least a foot of snow here in the valley so no Turkey movement as of yet, some years they are in full rut by now.

Agreed, have only seen a few up Fisherman's this year compared to last.
