Cow tag Dec 17-31 in Teanaway GMU 335--any tips?

[HUNTINCOUPLE]

There's your cow elk! Pic and all! Go getter her. Good luck!

Do any of you guys know which roads are gated or not gated onto the old American Forest Holdings land on the main fork of the Teanaway.  On the  north side of the main fork: Mason Creek and Storm Creek roads...are they gated?  I know Carlson Canyon Road is gated on the south side there of the west fork.

I'm pretty sure all the roads are gated.

they are in there just find the main trails.

Looks like there's at least one cow in the area!  alphahoyt may have had to go to the future to find it, however, acc'd to that time stamp.   

Yeah, I figured most roads there would be closed.  Bummer in some respects but good in others respects.

I've been told that many elk winter on Easton Ridge just north of I90 and a bit west of Easton.  Anyone with experience over there to confirm that?  Access?

[bobcat]

Easton Ridge is east of Easton. And I'd guess most of the elk will be on or near the golf course, at the east end of the ridge, where they know they are safe.

Got my directions messed up.

Access is the issue.  I see a small chunk of state land divided by the powerline right above and just south of the Suncadia LLC golf course, but not sure how you'd legally get to it.  Any ideas?

Does Suncadia allow folks to hunt on their property?  I doubt it. Even if they are having elk trouble...

[Huntbear]

I work at Suncadia... and they will call the Sheriff even if they THINK you are hunting on their property... just FYI, they do not give access, they do not allow firearms/weapon on property, etc... and they are going to feed the elk this winter to keep them on property...

IF you want to fill a cow tag, there are a lot of places to hunt that are not close to Suncadia...

Answered that question...guess I won't bother calling them.  Thank you.

Any idea where I should hunt!

What about the Plum Creek land just west of Suncadia (just east of WNF land) on both sides (N and S) of Easton Ridge.  Elk in there?

[jmden]

A lot depends also on how much snow we get by then. They are there, just don't see them as much with the wolves pushing them around. My dad, uncle, and I all drew this tag this year also so we'll be in the woods the same time. I live in this unit and have a lot of private land to hunt so shouldn't be too difficult. (But you never know, thats why its called hunting.) PM me a week or so before the hunt opens and i wouldn't be opposed to given ya little info. 

Trying to get ahold of LarMar14.  Anyone know how to get ahold of him?  Thanks, Jon

I'll likely be heading over to hunt for anterless elk in GMU 335/Teanaway on December 26.  Any information on elk movements/snow information would be helpful.  Live just far enough away with enough other time constraints that scouting isn't going to happen.  Thanks for any tips.

There are a few in there at times but I don't know if they'll be in there this late. I really think you'd be better off on Cle Elum Ridge.

watch weather my dad had the tag last year and there was like 2 ft of snow on the ground
