Never heard of Ellensburg being a hot spot for waterfowl and can freeze small ponds fast. There are feilds but Moses Lake is about 60+ miles away. Othello has public areas as well. Tri-Cities but now thats a drive 100+miles with lot of folks and hit or miss.

yeah from what I know of you gotta drive somewhere... Vantage, Moses Lake, George, Quincy, Tri Cities... I'm sure there are some Ellensburg natives on here who would be able to help out hopefully!

Heck if there's 50 geese in the middle of spokane next to a high school (block from my house :bash: :bash:)there oughta be some geese or ducks in a field around somewhere.
