Clear Creek Turkey Lottery
I got drawn for march 27/28 @ Clear creek WMA for opening weekend of Turkey season.
Anyone else got drawn and will be up that way? |

Looks like they will let anyone go up to CC. Don't take my spot on the 28th.

Will be there. Third year in a row. I've been turkey hunting 4 years, and have been drawn every year (first was a west bay).
I don't think they get 100 applicants for the lottery. Either that, or I'm really lucky. The last two years I've seen maybe 20 people opening weekend. I mean, the place is 60k acres, but there aren't turkeys on all 60k. I would think I would run into more people than I do. |

Well looks like I didn't get picked then. Put in for Sherbune as first choice and West Bay as second choice.

I normally put in for the Sherburne lottery and have killed several birds there. I just think the population is still way down from the flood of May 2011 so I did not apply for there. IMO.....they should have closed the Turkey season [and maybe Deer too] for 1 or 2 years to let the population recover. |

The year before the flood 69 Turkey were killed...... one was mine.
I think last year there was 12 killed. The lottery was cut way back. It use to be 150 hunters chosen. First lottery was Sat. and Sun. The second was Mon.-Wed. Then there was 4 days open to anyone. Now there is just 2 days and 50 hunters to hunt the lottery. Then there is 3 days for anyone. |

Clear Creek Turkey Lottery
I got picked!! Not for Sherbune but West Bay and it wasn't the dates I chose as my 2nd choice. But I'm not complaining. They said they didn't meet quota for this date so they chose me. April 11-12

Hunting that late in the season could be a good thing. Maybe the toms will be out looking for hen then.

I'm no big turkey pro or anything, but I have noticed this also. Late season can be good!! A lot of the hens are already setting a clutch but the toms are still roaming around looking to breed. |
