Cow hunting 346 GMU

[RyanS052]

Fellow Elk hunters I need help. I drew my first cow tag for the 346 Little Naches area. I've been up the 1701 rd and walked in and out of the creek bed and deep ravenes scouting, but have come up empty. I have gone up high at about 4700 ft but me and my dad got snowed out and had to come back down. I have hunted Umptanum and Observatory and Cowiche, but never this area. Any insight into areas would be helpful! you can PM me if you want! Thanks!

I don't have any insights on that area but I can say stay after it.  Don't get discouraged and definitely keep hunting up until the last minute of the last evening, you never know when one is going to pop out, be ready and good luck to you.

I am going off of 410 onto the 1701 rd, am I too far down? Is Bumping lake in the 346 GMU? I've been there once, but it seemed really far away. Willing to do the work, just need to know where to go! All information is appreciated. I've hunted for 20 yrs and haven't gotten an elk...I need 1!

I haven't seen or heard an elk in 22 years I feel your pain

Go up Little Naches Road.  Or anywhere close to there off 410. Or from there to the pass.  There are elk everywhere there.  Literally.

Gold creek, spring creek, milk creek, pine creek should all have elk... Good luck.

No bumping lake is in the bumping lake unit 356.   Hunt the snow line.  keep eyes open.  theres alot of elk there  just have to get away from people and hunt hard.   its not an easy unit

[buckandbullminingco]

Just drive up towards snow line in gold creek or milk creek and hunt hard all day. theres alot of elk in those areas  but they are smart.

[HUNTINCOUPLE]

Just hunt the snow line till you see one and shoot it.

I was just up 1701 the other day seeing friends at Pretty Cool Huh.  There are lots of cows.  Patience and know the area.  Bumping is not 346, it's 356.  Go up Gold Creek or Milk Creek.
