Washington Hunting DetailsBlack BearMoose  | SheepWhitetail

 

Merriam’s Turkey hunting is extremely good in NE Washington. The turkey population has “gone wild”, and this area now has one of highest turkey densities in the U.S. An amazing 75% of all birds taken in the state of Washington are taken in the four northeast counties right where Bearpaw Outfitters have operated for 30 years.

Turkey hunters from nearly every state have come to turkey hunt with Bearpaw Outfitters. Over 500 turkeys have been taken during the last 7 seasons. Bearpaw Outfitters have proven themselves as Washington’s most successful turkey guides by guiding more successful turkey hunts than any other Washington turkey guides.

Bearpaw Outfitters know the best mountain hotspots for hunting Merriam’s Turkey in this region and they also lease thousands of acres of the best private ranches for their turkey hunts. Guided and unguided hunts are offered, turkey licenses are sold over the counter, and hunters of any age can buy licenses in Washington. 

Best Time

Spring turkey hunting is good for most of the season. The first two days of season are the best but birds are taken nearly every day during the season.

Fall turkey hunting is also good for the whole season but the best day is usually opening day in late September. 

Trophy Quality

Merriam’s Turkeys average 16 to 19 pounds, beards average 7 to 10 inches, and spurs average ½” to 1”. The largest birds have weighed up to 24 pounds, had over 11 inch beards, and had up to 1 ¾ inch spurs. The Merriam’s subspecies are not quite as large as Eastern turkeys but the Merriam’s beauty will compliment any trophy room.

Bearded hens are quite common and Bearpaw Outfitters can arrange hunts for bearded hens if desired. Past hens taken have had beards up to nearly 7 inches. 

Hunting Methods

Turkey calling and using hunting blinds at feeding areas and strutting zones account for most birds taken. The guides spend so much time in these hunting areas; they know the areas that birds are frequenting every day. That’s the real secret to high success rates. 

Shot Opportunity

Shot opportunity on guided turkey hunts is usually over 200% and kill success is usually over 100% because hunters can take two birds in the spring. Unguided hunters range anywhere from 30% to 200%. Shooting distances can vary from 5 yards to 50 yards. Pattern your shotgun in advance to determine your maximum shooting distance.

Licenses

Hunters of any age can purchase Turkey, Bear, Deer, Cougar, Elk, and Small Game licenses over the counter. Youth hunters are half price (even non-residents) and first time hunters do not need Hunter Ed to purchase licenses. Other hunters need Hunter Ed if born after Jan 1, 1972. 

Hunting Areas

Private Ranches:  These properties range in size from 50 acres to 2500 acres and offer excellent turkey hunting. These properties are perfect for hunters with the patience to sit and watch feeding and strutting areas.

Mountain Hunts:  Hunts are conducted in numerous proven mountain locations where there are good numbers of birds. These hunts sometimes require a little more hiking and are better for the hunter who likes to move around. 

Turkey Seasons

Youth Season: Opens April 7-8. This hunt is an excellent hunt for youth before the regular season opens. There’s plenty of shooting opportunities and success is about 150%.

General Spring Turkey: Opens April 15 to May 31.

Hunters may take 2 bearded turkeys. Coyote and varmints can also be hunted and there is good fishing nearby.

Fall Turkey: Hunters may take 1 turkey of either-sex. Licenses are sold over the counter. Deer, Bear, Coyote, and Grouse can also be hunted with proper licenses. 

Accommodations

Lodge & Cabin:  The facilities are only 10 to 60 minutes from most hunting areas and include meals in the dining room, pool table in the den, indoor bathrooms, bunk beds in the cabins, and a lighted game cleaning area with water for cleanup. Groups of up to 16 can be accommodated.

Motel “Town Hunts”:  Motels are only 10 to 60 minutes from most of the hunting areas. Bearpaw Outfitters provide all hunters with their room. Guided hunters are picked up and returned to their room each day. Unguided hunters are given hunting advice and a marked map to hunt areas. Meals are not included so budget about $30 per day.

What’s Not Included

Meat processing, taxidermy, licenses, gratuities, and any other items not listed as being included. Bring your personal gear, and sleeping bag.
