Rake,
George is a town in eastern washington. You know you're there when you see the "Martha Inn Cafe", while heading east on I-90.
The town is pretty much a farming community and stretches over a fairly large area, including the town of Quincy, which is just a few miles north.
The farmers allow hunters to work their fields in the fall, but can opt out if they choose.
In order to keep things "fair and square", they have the hunters pay a small fee, which allows them access to the fields.
When I used to hunt there, you were given a large button, which you wore somewhere where it could be easily seen (Dad and I used to pin them to the front of our hats).
Hunters who attempt to hunt the fields, without signing up are tresspassed from the property. Legal fines and possible jail time may follow suit, should the farmer feel so obligated.
Since this was instigated by the Community of George, Washington, its known as the "George Community Hunt".
Back when I used to hunt there, you signed up at the grange hall (although I seem to remember it being label as the "Community Hall"). Once you paid the fee, you were given the button(s) and a map showing which fields were open and which weren't.
These locations would change just about every weekend, btw, although I think you only paid the fee once (that may have changed, since).
When the beets are cycled in, the pheasant are plentiful. Their numbers tend to dwindle when they're rotated out, though.
However, I remember seeing a number of huns and Bobwhite's (they like the alfalfa fields) there, too.
There's a lake, or rather "lake", up near Quincy that was popular with the local duck hunters, too.
...and in case the town of George sounds a bit familiar, but you can't quite remember why, its also the home of The Gorge Amphitheatre (a little south of the I-90 turn off) and why that place is also known as "The Gorge at George".
