THERE ARE LOTS OF GOOD PLACES IN FRANKILN COUTY,  I WOULD OFFER HELP,  BUT I AM NEW TO HUNTING, SO I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO OFFER MUCH.   BUT FRANKILN COUNTY WOULD DEFINATELY BE A BETTER OPTION,  OR BURBANK AREA.

Double that on Benton.  If your looking for Quail Benton might be OK, but if it's Pheasants your after look to Franklin or Grant county.

heard there's a bunch if you head north on George Washington way, out past Hanford High school.  Just bring your shotgun and ammo and don't worry about the check stations!

Good hunting!

the funny thing is when in was in high school a friend and i were driving around out there and ended up driving into a secure badged area no check station just a fence with big signs saying do not enter with out clearance and of course we went in.  Needless to say with in a couple hundred yards of the fence we were surrounded by several cars with not so happy armed men in them.  something i think everyone shoued experience at least once.

so you're missing most of your teeth, married to a cousin and if you graduated in 1996, you're probably almost 45 right?

I went to Hanford, class of 1982.  I remember when I would take my pellet gun out past Hanford and look for "game".  Let's just say one time a "friend" of mine in high school took his sling shot and shot up into the air with a rock and dropped a sea gull into the Columbia.  Yikes.  What a bad decision.  After 10,000 shots into the air something bad is going to happen.  Lots of gophers back in the day also.
