Hi,
I am new to the site so a big Howdy to everyone. I also posted this on the upland forum
My father-in-law is charged up to do some valley quial hunting but I have never chased these birds. He is driving out from Bozeman and we would like to meet somewhere in WA that limits his drive time and is with in the I-90 corridor. I am thinking Ephrata or Ritzville due to their proximty to 90 and local services (motels etc).
Does anyone have any advice for these areas? I have found lots of public access points on the WDFW web site but don' t know if there are some I should avoid. We' ll be hunting over two brits. I would like to avoid areas with big cliffs or that is extremely hilly.
Not looking (or expecting) for secret spots jsut some general direction.
Thanks
Scott

Wash,
Not really, if fact I am trying to make arrangements to hunt of a friends famliy' s farm in Coulee City. That may fall through but if we make a base in Ephrata we can be in that area with in a short drive. I am looking a several public access options in that area.
