Hey all,

Long time hunter, but first time turkey hunter here. My wife had family in Creston. So I’m going down there at the end of April for a visit and have decided to stay a couple extra days to try my hand at getting a turkey. I’ve already spoken with a couple local landowners and got some permission to hunt, but I don’t like how close everything is to neighbouring houses in the valley.

I’m not looking for any local secrets, but does anyone know of any larger landowners that allow hunting or any good spots to start on crown? I’m inclined to start on the west side of the valley as it seems less inhabited. With the second option being to go north of town up towards Sirdar and the lakes; but I’m not overly familiar with specific roads or trail systems that would be a good starting place.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
