First bull tag, Peaches Ridge modern

[Greenhorn]

I am brand new to this forum so forgive me if I don't quite do it right.  I came across this forum as part of my scouting for my bull tag.  I have been hunting the Little Naches unit for the last 10 years or so with my relatives and this is the first bull tag that any of us has ever drawn and I want to make it a good one.  We have been hunting the 1906 road area most of the time and then some up on the Naches trail.  We have a few spikes and cows to show for it but haven't seen many big bulls.  I had the one that dreams are made of walk right in front of my son and I last year but it didn't match up with our tags.  I was hoping that someone might give me some pointers on areas to scout around Ravens Roost/Crow Basin or some other remote area.  I will probably be in the woods by myself.  My dad will be out from Iowa but has a heart condition and will stay near the roads.  the rest of my party won't show up until the opening of the spike season.  I have quite a bit of time to scout between now and then.  I am considering this a one time deal for me.  Thanks for the help!

Welcome to the site 

If your there a week before the season starts, you should have a good chance at a nice bull. Not many people up there thenand they bulls are still active and during the day (some what).
The 1906 should be a good bet for you then also.... There are elk all over those hills, so be ready for one to pop up where you dont expect them

I know where some big bulls are in the unit but it is a little bit to late to be asking. I did see a 7x8 running around yesterday somewhere up in the woods. Not sharing any info. good luck.

That's. Cold....

So says the guy from "NONEYA"!

Well played sir.

Thanks you guys, I am beginning to like you already.  It is a couple of hours away for me but I think my best bet is to just spend some time up there.  I have kind of gotten into my own little rut of doing the same thing but have wanted to get out a little farther.  I have never even heard an elk in the wild bugle before but am hoping to get to see that this year.

Ill chime in a little here.

1. its late in the game to be asking for help
2. the day you got drawn you should of starting scouting
3. get up there now and look around
4. GET OFF THE ROADS
5. this is a vast area that holds many elk, others may say no or i didnt see any. Look around and HUNT, that is a great tag.  Wish i could help more but im busy with others that needed help.

C-POST?  I don't want you guys giving up all your secrets the first day.  I will try to figure that one out on my own for awhile.  Is it a tavern?

It's a stupid joke that's getting way to old on here.

Good luck on your hunt. Wish I could help you but I do not know that unit.

You will find that most people on here are not willing to help out a fellow hunter. Not all, but most. I don't know the area but if I did I would give you any info I had. Good luck on your hunt. I hope you are successful.

[rtspring]

Pm me, ill reply tommorow with some areas I know.      Hey, carp, funny thing is ive killed two bucks on cpost!   Years ago

Maybe we can, or I will rephrase that quote! Most people are willing to give out information but would also like those to contribute to it as well! See its like hunting, the more you put into to it the more you'll get out of it and have a higher chance at harvesting animals. I don't see a problem giving information, but you have to figure that the hunt has already begun for some of us! IMHO, information will be given out if you can just read between the lines. Additional Hunting reports should start to trickling in over the next few weeks!

I am actually looking for something tough to get to just for the heck of it.  I never have gotten very far off the road and am looking for an adventure.  I want to be stuck with the problem of "now that I shot that monster clear back in this hole, now what am I going to do?"
