Made my now annual trek to Goldendale and it really was flat this year. The deer just were not anywhere to be seen. The landowners said that a couple days before they just seemed to vanish. And, they used the fields differently when the were there. May have been the huge full moon.

But, there were turkeys galore. While sitting by a small pasture I had 18 feed through; they were 15-30 yds off. Mostly hens but some jakes in there. Next moring saw a flock over 30 and another of about 10. Topped the morning off by seeing two toms with beards 6-8" long amble through the garden.

Since the bow season is now over down there I will need to look elsewhere for venison.

And, since the owners like the turkeys, there's no hunting them.

give it a couple years and the love they have for those turkeys will change. They're reaching pest status in areas of the state now.

I'm off this week to harvest my fall turkey, as I was lucky enough to draw the tag....

We'll be doing a little combo muzzleloader buck hunting for my buddy and I'll be keeping an eye out for a nice gobbler....

I found about 50 turkeys yesterday in the Colockum in a single flock. Pretty cool sight.

Yeah. At first glimpse, especially given the number of deer I normally see there, it is "here they come". Then, I put the binos on them and "oops". A couple years ago the flocks I saw in the area were pretty noisy in that you knew they were coming. This time, the birds on the ground were pretty quiet and just ghosted in.

It was nice to see them pretty close.
