Title: Coyote Hunting Kittitas County
Post by: Larry89445 on January 25, 2019, 04:12:30 PM: I was living in Northern Nevada for a long time, and I really got into Coyote & Jack rabbit hunting. Now I moved back to Washington about 6 years ago, and haven't done any hunting at all do to a back injury that disabled me 5 years ago at the end of this month. I know Jack rabbits are a NO GO here in Washington, but I would like to find some places that are easy for me to go to, as my back injury doesn't allow for me to walk far "maybe 100 yds" before my leg goes numb. I do have a sxs so I can get into some remote areas. So I'm looking for suggestions around the Ellensburg area.

Some of the WDFW wildlife areas:

L.T. Murray
Wenas
Quilomene
Colockum

The USFS people are pretty good about not hassling SxS here. The only time that I have even been bothered is when a Game warden stopped me for not wearing my seat belt. He checked my on-road reg. and I gave him a letter from my Dr. that I can't wear a seat belt, and said be safe.
