There are lots of turkeys in the willamet valley and surrounding areas. I usually hunt 45min-1:15 from Beaverton. The ODFW has a map of turkey locations and concentrations in oregon. That is a good place to start, then simply drive around and look for good places. Be sure to emphasize you will be bow hunting. Long bow or self bows are even better. I have gotten more permission because people wanted to look at my self bow and cane arrows than anything.

I'd offer to share, however, most all land owners have specified ME only and bow only. If I break the rules I'm gone.

Good luck there are pleanty out there. I would be open to scounting some new areas near places I have access.

They will also usually give you permission for deer, bear, cougar, bobcat, coyote, grouse, quail, phesants, and rabbit.

Have fun, let me know if you want to do some "scouting" durring the season in the valley.

OK guys, I just found a guy who has a ranch in Tiller. 100 acres. 60 acres of pasture land and 40 of hills. He is surrounded by forest land. He is charging $100 per day, per person. If you guys want to go next Tuesday, let me know. Drop me a PM soon, so I can make the reservation.

I know Craig is trying to come along, but he needs a ride from south of Roseburg about 45 minutes. I will probably get a room Monday night and get an early start Tuesday morning.

I was looking at Tuesday as craig is available that day. Are any weekdays ok for you snag?

david.
A weekend would definitely be better for me as well because there is a possibility my dad can come, then I wouldn't need a ride.

dposalski · April 13, 2007, 11:22:00 PM

Let me call the guy and see if there is a weekend available.

dposalski · April 13, 2007, 11:28:00 PM

Let me throw out a date. April 28-29. I think that is going to work for me and I spoke with the guy at the ranch and it is available. Does that work for you guys? If that doesn't work for me, you guys can go anyway. Lets see a show of hands of who the works for and we can write it in stone.

David,
I'm out. My dad spends most of the week gone, so he doesn't want to spend a weekend away from the rest of the family. Thanks anyway, and have a great time!
