Title: Coyotes around Ellensburg area?
Post by: hillbilly_hippo on January 15, 2008, 01:07:03 AM: Howdy all-

Newbie in the Eburg area looking for some info/decent spots around Eburg to try my hand at coyote hunting. A buddy of mine and I usually hit up the Durr road area for target shooting/upland stuff and were wondering if there are any decent coyote areas around worth checking out. We've been up in the LT Murray area, but haven't really been looking for coyotes. Any thoughts?

There are yotes there, night hunting might be better. This year I got one in the pheasent plant area south of Tumwater canyon, and 1 just on the south side of the canyon by the antennas. Try the Yakima training area, and north of Vantage in Clockam and Quillamene. (spelling?) over towards Bluette pass has some great areas.
Good luck!
Carl

True that. But if you come across some cougars, now there's something to share with your buddies!

There's quite a few yotes in the foothills northeast & east of Ellensburg.Once you find a safe place to hunt try hunting @ night!
calls/spotlight are effective! watch out for the "big kitties" ;) Good luck,Dano
