it don't matter how many times a place has been hiked. You never know when a shed gets left behind. These guys just don't want you to be the one to find something they missed. I say hike hard and good luck! Just look for a spot that would have some wildlife running around. And yes watch out for snakes.

Start with teh Oak Creek WL area. Drive in and find a place that feels right for you and start looking.

I say go for it. I was staying in the Yakima area for work last week and took a hike up in the Oak Creek area. Never been there before but had heard stories and wanted to check it out. I saw five elk and found a shed within 20 minutes of leaving the truck. Beautiful area up there.

Get in there and find a steep deep dark hillside and you might be surprised about what is still left!  Good luck I always find more after everyone has left and given up fort the year.

Snakes - really??  I HATE SNAKES!!!    :mgun:
I have hunted the Naches area for over 20 years and have never seen a snake.  Just wondering if this is  joke to discourage people or if indeed I need to be on the look out ???   :dunno:

Stay off of rock slides - I  almost stepped on one a few years ago, thanks to the rattle warning I jumped my way off back to the grass -  it was a smaller slide, only about 20 feet across. Same thing happend to my friend the next year on a small rock slide. He jumped away also but wiped out & bruised himself a bit - got away from the snake anyway.

This was in an area a few miles up off the Columbia River on the Oregon side,
