Title: Yakima Opener - Skunked again
Post by: John B on October 11, 2015, 04:06:20 PM: This is my second year hunting the Yakima opener, saw a couple hens and no roosters. Found quail in good numbers. Didn't see many hunters, especially on feel free to hunt sites. Anybody have success over there?

Wow! Way to go. Maybe I won't give up on the rez.
