Help in Unit 336 (Taneum) Cow Tag
« on: October 31, 2014, 07:55:05 AM »
A buddy of mine was lucky enough to draw a cow tag in Unit 336, Taneum. I got a call from him last night and and he needs some help. He's been up there since Tuesday and has only managed to see 6 doe deer total, Zero Elk. I'm planning on going up to help him try and locate a herd so he can get a shot off at a cow to hopefully fill the freezer but can't make it out until Saturday morning.

He's scouted the area 3-4 times before the season but with Taneum not being our typical hunting location we weren't prepared for all the hunters that showed up in the area we had scouted. Over the past few days he's spent time around Quartz mountain and Ice-cycle creek areas but like I said hasn't found the elk. I wouldn't be asking this if we were trying to fill a bull or spike tag but since it's a simple cow tag I figured I'd put some feelers out there to y'all and see if somebody might be willing to point us in the right direction. Maybe you just left the area or spend a lot of time in the unit and could recommend a spot you'd expect us to be successful. My buddy has been hunting for 5 years and never managed to fill a tag, I'd love to at least try and put him in a position to get a shot off, this is more of a meat hunt than anything else. Feel free to PM me if you don't want to broadcast your suggestions Thank you!

A buddy of mine also drew a muzzy cow tag in there and we spent 5 days looking for one and finally had to just give up and go get a spike elsewhere...very disappointing hunting area and out of all the hunters we talked to only 2 of them had seen elk. Maybe its a weather thing or possibly the time of year but we were not impressed !!

Good luck to your bud he is gonna need it in there !!  :sry:

How can you be hunting around quartz mt when its not in the 336 unit?    Tell him to go get a map first.

 :yeah:


hahahahah


I had a Taneum cow tag last year, I couldnt believe we only saw 1 cow and she was in Easton and moving fast soon as we got out of the truck.
I hunted the entire unit came up empty.
And no I did not stay in the truck.

2 weeks from now they will be all over there.
And I think God must be a cowboy at heart
 He made wide open spaces from the start
 He made grass and trees and mountains and a horse to be a friend
 And trails to lead ol' cowboys home again

He didn't say hunt at Quartz Mountain. What he posted IS the Taneum unit. Sounds like you need a map!   :chuckle:

No he did not say he was "hunting" Quartz but from his post he did say he could not find elk and had been up around Quartz...not sure why some one looking to fill there cow permit for 336 would be spending time in a unit not for there tag... :dunno:

Oh, I didn't even read the original post, I thought he was referring to fishgamereaper's post. Still, Quartz Mountain is the end of the road, and if I was going to hunt that part of the Taneum unit I'd go in that way.
