THERE ARE LOTS OF GOOD PLACES IN FRANKILN COUTY, I WOULD OFFER HELP, BUT I AM NEW TO HUNTING, SO I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO OFFER MUCH. BUT FRANKILN COUNTY WOULD DEFINATELY BE A BETTER OPTION, OR BURBANK AREA.

Good hunting!

Post by: daddy on October 30, 2010, 03:14:12 PM: the funny thing is when in was in high school a friend and i were driving around out there and ended up driving into a secure badged area no check station just a fence with big signs saying do not enter with out clearance and of course we went in. Needless to say with in a couple hundred yards of the fence we were surrounded by several cars with not so happy armed men in them. something i think everyone shoued experience at least once.

Post by: Gobble Doc on October 31, 2010, 07:49:44 PM: I went to Hanford, class of 1982. I remember when I would take my pellet gun out past Hanford and look for "game". Let's just say one time a "friend" of mine in high school took his sling shot and shot up into the air with a rock and dropped a sea gull into the Columbia. Yikes. What a bad decision. After 10,000 shots into the air something bad is going to happen. Lots of gophers back in the day also.
