Peaches ridge bull season rifle
« on: September 30, 2014, 09:18:26 PM »
Thinking about heading into the dry meadows area. Was wondering if this was a good area to start. Or around milk lake

How long did you wait for this tag? You're a month away and asking for help?

You still have time to drive over and take a look at the country. So you have an ideal where to go. If you put your time in and stay out all day. You should be able to get a nice little rag horn. Especially at the end of the season when a lot of the hunters go home discouraged.

I've been up twice. Been super busy at work. Plus I live on the other side of the state in Walla walla. This was second year putting in for that area. I wasn't asking for honey holes. Just asking if if those areas were a good starting spot. I'll be up there for 11 days and plan on doing a lot of hiking

That's the only way to hunt elk is all in. I'm not up there to party it up. I had eight points towards this tag. But only been putting in for this unit for two.  The blues
don't get as many tags. Lots of nice bulls

Crap!  Sorry I dont think I have ever seen your pm, I have been swamped archery hunting deer and elk out of state. 

Steep and Deep,  find some dark timber and get in there.

Again, good luck

Should be the 20th of Oct, tag holders get 5 day head start before general season starts

Congrats on the tag.  Hunting is about the experience for me.  Family, friends, Gods country, etc.  Don't let the pressure of the tag get to you.  Doing the tag justice is between you and yourself.  Regardless of your goals, my advise would be to remember to enjoy the ride.  Chances of drawing a bull tag again anytime soon is slim.

As for hunt areas, you've already gotten the best advice.  Get out there as soon as you can, find dark timber and look for FRESH sign.  Stay mobile and don't get stuck hunting the same area hoping the elk will show up, even if it looks "elky".  The first 5 days are very important.  Good Luck.  Hopefully we'll be reading your success story in Nov.

Congrats on the tag! I have hunted that area for quite a few years. The elk are in there, you just have to work a little for them. Access has been a little tough the last few years with quite a few of the main roads off of 410 being blocked and closed, but you can get there if you look hard enough.

Wish I could help more, but my hunting party put in for the same tag and 3 of us drew them as well! Could be a busy year for quite a few of us!

Good luck!
