Learn to Hunt Turkeys | Washington State
Turkey Hunting course | Supported hunts | home-cooked meals
Spring Season | Kettle Falls, WA
Join us in the “Wild Turkey Hunting Capitol of Washington” to gain a holistic foundation of skills and knowledge upon which to build a lifetime of hunting turkeys. If you are new to turkey hunting or want a refresher, opt in for a day of learning the essential components of the hunt. This is not a guided hunt and there are no guarantees; we aim to instill the skills and confidence to get you out hunting without the need for a guide and/or provide an opportunity to continue your hunting journey with a place to stay and nourishing meals at a private home with continual scouting guidance and hunting strategy support. If you wish to engage fully in the hunt we want to help.

One-day Turkey Hunting Course (see Course Topics, below)
