How far off the road would u go to hunt and how far back from the gun range would u go for them yotes?

bobcat · « **Reply #1 on:** December 11, 2010, 12:06:29 PM »

There's a gun range out there

hunterofelk · « **Reply #2 on:** December 11, 2010, 12:20:20 PM »

I think they are referring to the area up the ellensburg pass road behind the state green dot sign. People use that area for target shooting. I'd say as far as you can walk and stay on public land.

I assume he is tlaking Sheep Company. Coyotes come this side of the gun range so anywhere. It gets lots of pressure and the coyotes don't tend to stand there and watch. Carry chains, and a shovel. Avoid the deep mudholes that aren't froze.

Yeep I was refering to sheep company rd out in selah.. good iidea enspecially wth this snow storm

demontang · « **Reply #5 on:** December 12, 2010, 10:24:07 AM »

I've shot a few right after the cattle gaurd so any where. Early morning is all I can say and if you get stuck call and I'll come get u out;). O and stay out of bell tell road and roza road now unless you have a pretty well built rig.

I got a foot+ of fresh heavy wet stuff at my house last night. Be careful for some of those holes out there.

Instinct · « **Reply #7 on:** December 12, 2010, 11:32:06 AM »

Dang that's a lot.. ya ill prob hold up a bit till some of it melts

Instinct · « **Reply #8 on:** December 12, 2010, 12:48:01 PM »

Bigtine96 · « **Reply #9 on:** December 12, 2010, 12:54:23 PM »

A foot plus? I live in selah and we dont have nowhere near that

boneaddict · « **Reply #10 on:** December 12, 2010, 12:57:15 PM »

Head north. The snowbelt crosses just outside past huntzinger. Theres only 2 inches in Yakima. When the temp was banging around 32, one degree makes a huge difference in snow accumulation.

Slenk · « **Reply #11 on:** December 12, 2010, 01:37:19 PM »

We're on Huntzinger just off Sheep Co. road . Had 12" here. I see coyotes from the back deck a lot. Stay on the old Durr road and do a little hiking . I have shot coyotes right at the shooting range.

Tell me its all melted so when I get home I don't have to shovel anymore.

Slenk · « **Reply #13 on:** December 12, 2010, 02:25:17 PM »

Bigtine96 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 12, 2010, 03:11:58 PM »

Thats crazy i think down in selah we got something like 5 or 6 inches. Its almost gone now tho

Slenk · « **Reply #15 on:** December 12, 2010, 03:27:34 PM »

It may be crazy but that's the way it is. I am at 1450' elev. and I'm betting Bone is at 1550 or 1600'. Selah is only 1000'.
Can be 10 -15 degrees difference in temp also.

boneaddict · « **Reply #17 on:** December 12, 2010, 06:35:35 PM »

What a frickin mess out here. I probably wouldn't try it until she freezes. A guy gets in that gumbo with this snow YIKES

demontang · « **Reply #18 on:** December 12, 2010, 07:09:28 PM »

Yea we had a good 9" here last night but it's melted down to 4or less now. I'd stay clear or the roads tell it freezes or you might be there for a bit now

Instinct · « **Reply #19 on:** December 13, 2010, 06:20:28 AM »

Haha ya them roads are no joke. When they r bad they are bad

demontang · « **Reply #20 on:** December 13, 2010, 08:19:41 AM »

Yea I've almost be in a bad spot with 37" tires and lockers out there in the snow a few times. I stay away if it's muddy I sank to china once when I didn't think it would be that bad

Instinct · « **Reply #21 on:** December 13, 2010, 09:37:47 AM »

Lol that's bad, I was out there this mornin.parked at the lt wildlife sign. Was there bout a hr or so, saw a cow elk n someones pasture then cross into the land part. Was pretty cool.

demontang · « **Reply #22 on:** December 13, 2010, 11:16:38 AM »

Yea there are a lot of them out there right now

Instinct · « **Reply #23 on:** December 13, 2010, 11:22:28 AM »

I knew they were out there but never seen a elk there just n the canyon

boneaddict · « **Reply #24 on:** December 13, 2010, 11:27:10 AM »

I got to walk home on Christmas eve once out there. LOL Man the wife was pissed when I walked through the door late. She didn't bother to notice I got home without bringing a truck home. It had snowed over a mud hole that had a 2 inch of ice crust onit. all 4 tires broke through and there I sat. High centered in a mud pit. Chained up.....nothing. Not like there is a tree to hook to to wicnh yourself out.

At times, you can see 1,000 head of elk out there. Rarely any bulls of any size. but still cool.

Instinct · « **Reply #25 on:** December 13, 2010, 12:05:04 PM »

Lmao bone.. got stuck n the frog ponds? Wow that's awsome that elk come down this low... I bet the mrs was pissed!

demontang · « **Reply #26 on:** December 13, 2010, 12:34:20 PM »

Lol had kind of the same thing happen. Broke though and cut a break line so when I came out I couldn't stop! I ended up having a truck hook up to me and used him as a break but I would just drag him untell I put it in N to stop. That was a long night

Instinct · « **Reply #27 on:** December 13, 2010, 12:43:15 PM »

Lol I remember there was 5 of us. Right where people shoot the hand guns the yotas clutch went out, then had one guy try n blow up his ford couldn't do it at the frog ponds. Went to a diff location, someones alternator went out, then we all headed back down n a guy went over the edge of the cattle guard n poped a tire. Lol 5 rig went n and 2 came out that night, and it was winter so peeps had to ride n the back of the beds. God that was a interesting night lol.

demontang · « **Reply #28 on:** December 13, 2010, 08:55:57 PM »

lmao Ive gone on a few recovery missions out there.

jdb · « **Reply #29 on:** December 14, 2010, 04:51:01 PM »

I buried a 4x4 nissan pick-up to the bumpers out there called for help. help stuck his truck, wound up w/ 3 other trucks pulling us out.

boneaddict · « **Reply #30 on:** December 14, 2010, 04:53:55 PM »

Demontang just jinxed himself JDB. I shoudl get a physical description so I don't shoot him when he is crawling over the fence for help.

Instinct · « **Reply #31 on:** December 14, 2010, 05:22:55 PM »

demontang · « **Reply #32 on:** December 14, 2010, 05:58:27 PM »

boneaddict · « **Reply #33 on:** December 15, 2010, 06:18:43 AM »

Its more fun living life without a cellphone. You just have to make sure you have a good pair of boots.

demontang · « **Reply #34 on:** December 15, 2010, 08:56:58 AM »

Lol yea had to walk out when I was little.

Ellensburg · « **Reply #35 on:** December 15, 2010, 11:36:16 AM »

Went up Durr from Ellensburg last night. Got pretty close to the towers but it was sheer ice. My friend was driving his new truck and his chains were not the right size. Had to back down for half a mile. Pretty hairy.

boneaddict · « **Reply #36 on:** December 15, 2010, 11:39:02 AM »

I slid backwards down the pitch on the other side of the creek once. That made me pucker.

Instinct · « **Reply #37 on:** December 15, 2010, 12:52:12 PM »

Instinct · « **Reply #39 on:** December 16, 2010, 02:30:51 PM »

Wow that's awsome that elk come down this low...

My folks live on Gibson rd. and back in about '91 my mom watched a guy shoot an elk across the street from the house!

demontang · « **Reply #43 on:** December 17, 2010, 08:53:18 AM »

Yea I keep a eye out for people like that.
The road I was on noone had been on since it snowed. I broke throw some ice and well it was hard for my tires to break the ice going forward but now I know where that one hole is. The main road isn't bad just ice and mud
