My teenage son and I drew LE southeastern turkey tags this year. This is a new area for us- I've never had the opportunity to hunt any game down there, so I am beginning to collect info on this region. I am planning on making contact w/ the upland game progam coordinator, project leader, and regional conservation officers w/ the UDWR. We might be able to get down there one time to scout prior to the hunt. Its a big area- La Sals, San Juan/Elk Ridge, Abajo Mtns, Henry Mtns, etc. etc. Anyways, I wanted to post to see if anyone is willing to provide any information or tips on this region, if so please PM me. Thank you.

I have hunted the San Juan 3 times in the past for turkeys and it was a blast for us. Unfortunately, I have heard that those birds were all but wiped out the last two winters.
I would check with the DWR first, but you may want to look at turning your tag back in and look at a general hunt where there are still birds left.
Sorry to be the barer of bad news!

yeah, don't plan on the SJ or the Abajo mtns being any good, seriously they took a dive 2 years ago and are still struggling to make a come back.
