Find a cattleman and knock on some doors... nothing beats foot work for getting hunting spots...
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Go work for it. The worst they can do is say no! People aren't likely to give up their spots to you on your first post. :twocents:

Nothing to do with street cred.  It should be very easy to get permission to hunt yotes.  People are just suggesting you go scout like everyone else instead of asking for directions on the interwebz.  Perhaps if you ask for a starting place, such as a suggestion for a general area, you might have more luck...

ive done my fair share of scouting and knocking on doors. i am here because that hasnt paid off much lately... seriously, just cause i didnt get into detail on my status of hunting you guys think i havent tried the obvious routes first. nevermind my original question at this point. so much for starting friendly conversation.

I don't live in your area... you got one spot to check out... Just remember that when you ask you need to knock on lots of doors, expect  plenty of no's, and make sure you approach potential  landowners professionally. I know i have had lots of no's due to concern about equipment or cattle because of some other jack wagon.  Make sure to show you have roots/responsibility so that you not just some yahoo that is gona come in and shoot the place up...
Here are a couple of threads that might increase you sucess in getting permission to hunt. hope this helps.

Hang in there man, People here get a little jumpy. We do get a TON of people who draw permits for areas they have never been to that are asking where the animals are, give it some time, you will be okay.

I've seen a ton of yotes both west and east of tricities.  Tons all the way out towards Pomeroy and beyond.  Tons in the sage west out to Yakima and south to the river.  I don't know any specific landowners until you get out towards Pullman, but never had a hard time getting tons of permission by simply knocking on doors and being polite.  There is also a lot of public land once you get west of Yakima.  Maybe check the public areas along the snake (corp of engineers, etc.).

I didn't mean to be an ass!  :sry: we just see a lot of first timers who don't even introduce themselves and expect info for honey holes. Saw a TON of yotes near pomeroy, Dayton, Starbuck and Dodge this year! A TON!

  Coffin road, head east on it from 395 and see what you can find, you won't be disappointed.
