Yolo Bypass

[David Gough]

I drew a reservation (#29) at Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area for 11/30. Never hunted it before, but here is what I've found out from some research:

• It's a large refuge with a small area for assigned blinds
• Hunting is typically better the closer you are to the freeway
• Only one guest when hunting free roam
• Lots of ground to cover on the levees. Since it's going to rain for a few days beforehand, looks like we will be walking a lot
• Greenwingers and smiling mallards seem to be #1 and #2 shot bird majority of the year

I've driven by it on the freeway, but I'm wondering what the cover looks like. Is it marsh stool country or should I plan on brining Invisimans?

Any comments or pictures from prior hunts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi David,

There are islands through the area that people typically set up on, and there should still be plenty of cover this early in the season. I’ll PM you an area I’ve had consistent success in over the years.
