Re: Teanaway Elk Tag Help!
« Reply #15 on: December 30, 2008, 09:49:50 PM »
I covered a lot of the Teanaway area today without seeing any elk at all. The biologist told me about a guy in Ronald who is feeding about 50 elk, but there doesn't appear to be any land near by where they can be hunted.

The guy who feeds has a small amount of acreage 20-40 acres and raises high dollar horses.  He feeds them to keep them out of his pastures and barn (they will destroy fences for feed)..... the land around him USED to be plum creek timber co land but it was all bought up by trendwest........ there are some some nice elk in there but no public land due to Trendwest.  Back up toward Easton there is alot of private land, some owned by hunting friendly some not..... you may want to knock on some doors.... I had friends up there who always got an elk, yes occasionally in their backyard  :rolleyes: I don't know anyone up there now or I would hook you up.   

The big problem up there is a bunch of land that was timber company and public got traded around for private land so one of the elks main wintering areas is now all locked up on private property.

French Cabin creek can be good but the snow gets deep and a snowmobile is almost neccessary to get in or snowshoes.  Good luck, these are my old stompin grounds and there are ALOT of elk just tough to find them on huntable land anymore.  If all else fails hit the Old number 3 and ask around a bit  ;)

Ya...once again....just a guy feeding his pet elk! Talked to a guy from the forest service and he said that there isn't any access around where those elk are at! Surprise!!!

Forest service sold the land along with plum creek so go talk to trendwest about access.....

Say whatever you want I know the guy.  He tried to get wdfw to do something about the elk they wouldn't so he gave up and started feeding them.  BTW he is a hunter, but his land is too small to allow every tom, dick, and harry to hunt, besides where's the sport in hunting elk eating alfalfa  :dunno:

I might make one last trip this weekend. If anyone has any more suggestions, I would appreciate hearing them.
