I had a VA appt. this morning so when I got to Greendale I was ahaead ;of schedule. I decided to burn some time driving up rt 1 to bright. Rt 1 follows tenners creek for a few miles before going up the hill to Dover. The creek bottoms were full of turkey! No exaggeration I probably saw a minimum of 300 birds!One bachelor group of 6 long beards and about that many jakes were displaying for a group of about 30 hens.
They whole valley had little pockets of 30-40 birds spread along the creek with some bachelor groups and some hens and some mixed.Once I topped the hill that was the end of the bird sightings.
Hope this helps someone get a bird this year!
Wade

I'm booked up this year, but if you'd like to go on a guided turkey hunt for veterans, I can get you in. All you'll have to do is get there, and everything else is provided, even out of state license. I have three guys lined up to go now that will be riding with me. |

Thanks for the offer but I'll have to take a pass on it,at least this year. Just too many things going on.I have spent the past year plus with health issues that has set me way behind on things around the home.Getting caught up is my main priority for the time being. Thanks, Wade |

You mean Hidden Valley? My parents live on the right at the top of the big hill before Dover. See plenty of deer on their place, but very few turkeys. |

I read gas meters there years ago and had to dodge turkeys on almost every road while driving through there. |
