Teanaway late archery

I noticed that unit 335, Teanaway, was open last year from November 20th - December 8th for spike or antlerless late archery. My question is for those who hunted the unit last year for elk? How many bucks(yes bucks) did you guys see. And what caliber of bucks were they? I drew late archey deer permit this year and it is from Nov. 20th - Dec. 8th, same time as late elk archery. Were the bucks still rutting? I am just curious at how may big bucks were seen during that late elk.

I thought I might get more response this way vs. trying to track down any of the 10 hunters who drew it last year.

Thanks for any input.

I didn't hunt it but i'm familiar with the area.  Not sure on the caliber of bucks that are in there at that time of year, but i know there are quite a few.  You may want to hunt the Teanaway Ridge and mason/musser creek areas.  I've been told that people have seen a 30 inch buck also running around the 29 pines area, but those are all the resident deer, obviously you'll be hunting the migratory and some non-migratory deer.  The caliber of bucks i see during modern rifle in the Teanaway dont normally exceed 26 inches wide or so. The Teanaway bucks from what we've harvested all have mass but seldom have the height and width to go along with it.  But again, those are the general rifle season bucks that we hunt at 6000 feet.  You'll see some nice ones though.

Years past there were tremendous buck moving through there off of that Teanaway ridge and some gap, can't remember the name.  I have no idea how the herd is currently.  I would be pretty darn happy to have that tag.  Its also one of those pockets in the state that have a good chance at some non-typical genes.

Check out Iron creek as well, its on the westside of highway 970, also check out blue creek.
