$250.00 for turkey, I don't think so. :chuckle:
They want $250 for a turkey tag? :yike:
Dang, and many people think the state's hunting license fees are too high!

I've hunted the satus area a lot for ducks this fall and haven't seen any sign of them.Hmm. I've seen them in there multiple times and have seen tracks on the road everytime I've been out there.

If you are one of the bird bios for the yakamas, your agency needs to offer hawk hunts as well. There are way too many hawks down there and that population needs to be controlled.
Advocating the taking of a bird of prey because "there are way too many" is not only asinine but asking for a cull is plainly ignorant.
If this wasn't a joke you should remove yourself from this forum.
It shows a complete lack of understanding of prey/predator relationships if serious and paints a true sportsman site such as this in poor light.
We got enough issues without this kind of archaic BS.

actually he's right, there is a ton of hawks down there and I believe they are at least part of the reason why the pheasant population on the rez has been low the last few years.If you are one of the bird bios for the yakamas, your agency needs to offer hawk hunts as well. There are way too many hawks down there and that population needs to be controlled.

?????? Someone thinks predators should go unchecked? Right in line with the trendy tree hugger crowd.

Pheasant populations have more to do with the agriculture practices in the Yakima Valley than hawks. When you farm out the edges and sterilize the fields of sufficient cover upland game struggles. I have hunted these areas since I was a kid using shotguns and trained hawks alike. North Dakota is not noted for its hop fields or vineyards. Crack open a cold one and drink to the days gone by and enjoy what limited opportunity we have left at pheasant. I can't believe people actually shake their fist at a vole/mouse hunting red-tailed hawk on a pole and blame them for the ignorance of man and his persistent exploitation of the valley's ecosystem. Were it not for the Firing Center, the Yakama Nation and a few places left in the Okanogan/North Central Wa area, Sage grouse would already be lost to us in Washington. Off the soapbox.
