FREE??? When we were there turkey cost $18. Which was the same as a deer tag!!! So we never went hunting for them. ME and my brother did find one around camp while deer hunting though. We might have chased it with our pellet guns for probably and hour, but could never get close enough for a head shot. They always stay right out of range!!! One turkey doesn't necessarily mean a population of them, but it was in the Rimrock unit, over WhitePass from Tacoma. Thats where we did a little deer hunting, and quite a bit of elk hunting.
