I have two friends that took out their kids in Colville area. We have some big farms to hunt over there and the birds were fed through winter. Both had birds down by 10:00. One 8 and one 9 1/2 inch. Both nice toms. I was not with them they said the birds were very vocal and it was almost(and I mean almost) to easy. One of them had teh bird fly down at 15 yards directly from the tree and start the strut that close. Not sure where you hunt but looks like the nasty winter did not hit those farms to bad. Could be a different story in areas that the birds are not fed through winter.
