There aren't any on public land around Ellensburg. For ducks, try the Columbia River. If you want pheasants you need to go further east. You could try for chukar on the breaks of the Columbia, north of Vantage.Since the extreme cold around Thanksgiving I haven't seen many birds. Saw 6 pheasant hens near a cattle feeder and about 6 quail in downtown Lewiston. Other than that sighting have been slim.

well, i limited in ten mins yesterday, no lie. quickest ive ever done it. went today and shot a handful more, not quite as good as yesterday, but still good. if i gave you my spot, might not walk out with everything attached. internet scouters, gotta love em. fyi, scout the few weeks after the season. best time to see where the birds are for the next year... gl
DUcks I am assuming... Not too hard to limit out in Eburg if you have good private land or a good spot on the river. Nice job

Yes, but the place we have for phesants holds an ungodly amount of them, I'm talking like South Dakota kind of stuff. Its the only place I have seen that has any population of phesants in the valley, I mean there are a few here and there, but this is the hotspot.I killed my limit of phesants in 45 minutes today, my buddy too (6 total roosters) and I shot a banded greenhead today... i'll never say where though hahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa

Well, then you sir have found a spot that I can only dream of! Ellensburg has no spots like that anymore. I'm sure that there are hotspots in yakima county and down in the southeast part of the state.
A buddy of mine hit 2 roosters in the canyon after the big snow. Must be a lot in there on the private land.

If you ever feel like doing some "charity work" and taking a "rookie" phesant hunting, I would be you man. You can even blind fold me, to hide the location if you feel comfortable with it :chuckle: :chuckle :chuckle: :chuckle:
Yes, that statement leaves it wide open for interpataion and harrassment in many ways :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

If you really found a place that holds South Dakota type numbers you ought to more than willing to share with a few of your closest friends and anyone on this board :dunno:......South Dakota type numbers cannot possibly be hindered by the few people that actually read the upland bird threads :rolleyes: C'mon out with it.

:tung: Yeah, we have used the planted hunt club birds for training too. :chuckle: Sometimes we had to throw them in the air to get them to fly! Some call it 'hunting' though... ;)They are 100% wild :). Its also private land too, not a club though.
