okanagan turkey

[cblock]

well I have done some searching and read the one thread about kelowna area turkey hunting, however that was from 2005.

Im new to hunting and I am seeking a little advice or direction where to look for turkeys.
I have read they are elusive birds, however I am up for the challenge.
I have heard the rock creek area is a good spot to look, however a little help from some of you pros would be great full.

Thanks

Lots of information on this website for a novice turkey hunter. There is also going to be a turkey hunting seminar in Keremeos on March 28. Here you find more information about the event.

I'd love to attend to learn more about those birds really want to hunt them but Keremeos is a little far.

First...welcome to HBC
Second...we have a simple "rule". Your first post should be a "joke". So get on it.

Now to answer your question. Ive heard of some turkeys around here. More near Beaver/Dee Lake chain. Carefull there is privet land. You WILL find them there. So get good at callling and bring them to you. Good luck.

Go to Grouse River Outfitters and buy the DVD Primos Mastering The Art (turkey calling). I learned alot. And you get a free mouth call.

A mouth call is the last thing a novice hunter should use. It can take many months to learn how to use them properly. In fact I know of hunters that use diaphragm calls for years and still scare more birds with it then they call in.

Spend the money and purchase a wooden box call and a glass or slate call. These calls are standard equipment of every turkey hunter and are easy to learn. Once tuned properly these calls make a natural turkey sound that are hard to beat. There is a good reason why professional turkey hunters carry these calls as standard in their turkey vest.

Anybody coming to the seminar in Keremeos, bring your turkey calls along and I will help you to tune them and teach you the four basic calls you need to know.
