Micheal and Boneaddict...my uncles have been hunting the little naches unit for the last twenty years. They said the hunting used to be great and they would always get an animal until about five years ago. They rifle hunt and said there are usually lots of people up there during the season. He said there are lots of animals around and that I should come over and he would show me the area during bowhunting season...but my regulations show its a spike or cow unit only. And there is no early season during the rut for bow...am I missing something or is all of that true?

MichaelJ drew an early archery bull tag...special permit peaches ridge is what they call the area. it's little naches and taneum units combined if i'm not mistaken. i'm certainly no expert.

[MichaelJ]

BaseballStud20,
There is no ARCHERY season in the Little Naches unit, only in the Taneum unit...  So the only way one can hunt archery there is by drawing a special permit...

unless you're hunting deer.  I still can't figure out why this state does that.  Cowiche, Bethel and Little Naches have no General Archery season, just special "Bull only" tags yet they run a 30 day general deer season in there...

[BaseballStud20]

I have the regulations book right in from of me MichealJ...there is no early season archery hunt in the Little Naches unit...your correct. There is however a late season archery hunt that runs from Nov. 20-Dec. 8 in the Little Naches Unit.

[MichaelJ]

General, I understand it... deer are few and far between up there from what I've seen and the area doesn't get pressured terribly hard by the deer hunters I'm guessing...  If they had a general archery up there it'd be a zoo with people hunting spikes.  It's okay by me if they don't have a general season there!  

BaseballStud,
You are correct about the late season, I was only concerned about the early season because that is what I will be hunting.  And I'm guessing access will be pretty hard with as much snowfall as they have on the late season.  Though I can't tell you for sure.

Hey, michaelj good luck on your peaches bull, I'll be hunting there also for the whole 2 weeks if need be. I will be camped down on little naches rd on the corner with the 1901 rd. there will be a trailer there. If you need any help packing anything out just swing by and see if I'm there or just leave a note.I will be driving a black ranger. good luck.

RODGER.

I go up and get my Christmas tree in there about the time the late season is going on.  Its very choatic, even for a bowseason.  People are stacked like cord wood.  They get animals, but mostly on the side of the road.  You can tell by all of the big red patches all over.  Very nice for the hunter image when all of the cute little tree hugging to be families come up to cut down a tree.  Anyhow.  For a cow or spike season its more insane than the modern opener.

[jackelope]

mike...did you go?

[MichaelJ]

Couldn't go as time wasn't there...  We're heading in Wednesday for the duration of the season... then I'll be off from the 21-25 on a highhunt.  We'll take lots of pictures!

[jackelope]

thats great assuming that means you can draw your bow...
good luck.

[MichaelJ]

Jackelope,
Bow is drawn back and broadheads are sighted in!  I've actually shot way better the last week than I did before hand...  
Just got some bad news, we'll only be in till sunday evening, but I may go to a different area by myself without the horses later the next week...
