So not looking for specific just general yes or no answer...have searched Cleveland National forest for turkey but is a ways away from me to keep driving down every weekend. So question is there turkey in the San Bernardino mountains that you know of?

No...Last transplanted birds were in 1997...Never took hold.
ps...I've had folks tell me that a friend of a friend has seen them...No confirmed sighting by biologists.
Yea I had another word of mouth say there were some but not fully credible source
We made down there roughly about 7...no we didn’t we don’t know the area I believe antelope valley. Then came across a quail hunter that told us we were to low and into the valley so he said make our way up to Ramona and lake Sutherland.
1st off...7:00 am is really late...Once birds hit the ground, they normally quit gobbling much this time of year...So, you're basically looking for a visual or tracks...After a rain is a good time to go scout...Tracks are much easier to see.
Quail hunter?...Antelope Valley?...Ramona and Lake Sutherland are pretty good calls...More land in these areas than you can hunt...Oh, and turkeys like lowlands.
Yea we came across another hunter side of the road waiting for a buddy that was going chukar on some club they were in and he told up to head up that way...and got ya on the time I figured it might have been...so basically we were looking to high of an altitude area
Word of advice.. posting up potential spots is like giving an answer key to the test for others. My 2 cents...
The area you posted certainly could have turkeys and has had turkeys...I'm not that familiar with it though...Kitchen Creek has always looked good, but these southern areas are on the bubble of the turkey expansion.
ps...Be careful about posting locations.

Oh ya about that my bad... well hopefully I can make it back down there to search some more before the season starts
I suppose it could be possible...Tejon had plenty at one time...Not so much these days.
Don't post your maps on line.
You will end up, with a 100 people on you spots, top secret.
Nick,
Yes...To be honest, the only area that seems to be doing good is NoCal...On my other turkey forums, most everyone says their turkeys are down in their states as well.
