Ellensburg and Cle elum areas are great places to start but if you dont have the experience or know where the birds are it will be easy to get discouraged however it is fun because for the most part after opening weekend theres not a lot of pressure and it gives you an oppurtunity to work the birds without worrying about someone busting the bird your working on

If you want a favorable bird to hunter ratio I would suggest NE, SE or the Klickitat area.  If you want to hunt an area with more people than birds go for the E-burg, Teanaway areas.  Good luck

There is a lot of public land in Klickitat county. Check the county assessor's page.

Like klickman said accessors page for the county is a great tool. I use it weekly. When people say Klickitat they are generally talking about the area north of Goldendale. If you go north of Goldendale you have to stay on the west side of highway 97 if hunting the WPT land.

  to the 2 above. I would add to klicks that there is lots of public ground is 388 of the klickitat units. 382 has very little public ground. Most of the old walk in hunting areas like wpt is all closed now and you will get a heck of a ticket if hunting on it. I have spent many years hunting birds in 388 and there is a good number of birds but there will be competition and they get educated very quick.

You have had plenty of bones thrown at you, use one and find some birds to hunt.   Don't expect a free handout.
