Spring Turkey Hunt 2018
Morning,
I'm looking for some tips and tricks for snagging a Tom for the spring hunt in the Cranbrook area. I'm looking for any logging roads that i should focus in on or area's I should be in. So far I checked the IMAPBC and found some crown land but curious if it's where I should go. The list consists of the following: Wasa and Cranbrook East of Wardner Saint Mary Road west of Kimberly And South of Skook Also should I be in the valleys around the rivers or make my way up to the snowline? First post but I read the discussions all the time. Thanks! |
Can’t help you with where to find turkeys so as as I can help you with where not to find them!
I’ve spent a lot of time up the st Mary road and never saw turkey. General opinion seemed to be that there weren’t any up that way, although I swore I heard them in the bush there once. Anyway good luck! But I’m pretty certain you can rule out the st Mary on list of spots to check. |
Did you drive past St Marys Lake?
Everywhere I read states stick around Cranbrook or head further west and South. Thanks for the info. |
I have spent lots of time up the St. Marys, I have never seen a turkey up that way. I would concentrate lower in the trench. FT. Steele area along the Kootenay river. IMO

Update
Saw a couple hens north of Fort Steele besides that tried to call a Tom on one locations just 5min west of Cranbrook. Besides that the trip was a bust at the following locations:
Wasa, Canal, Radium, Warren From what i've read in other forums Fort Steel is depleted. I'm going out again weekend of May 12th, here's hoping Creston holds some birds! |
Saw 4 of them near Hudson's hope last winter, had no idea they were around there.
