BigTex...I will repeat that your 5th post on this forum after signing up was asking for information on where to go duck hunting. Cut the crap with slamming everyone for asking for help. I am happy to offer you the option of not participating here if you don't like the way things happen here this time of year. It happens every year. Either get used to it or go away.
Your best shot down low and not on private property will be on American Forest Resource property which is a timberland company which allows you to come on their property. Most of it borders USFS land, it's the same company that runs the Teanaway Campground...
I drew the late muzzy tag. P.M. me your contact info. I'll be doing a lot scouting and after I fill my tag or season is over, I would have no problem pointing someone to an area. My hunt is the 9th-17th, and yours starts the day after mine ends. I'm hoping someone with an archery tag will do the same for me. Is your buddy going to be looking for a trophy, mature bull or anything with antlers? I'll be trophy hunting looking for the monarch that doesn't hang out on private land.
WenHunter, you can give these guys a hard time when they are looking for info when they draw a Mission buck tag or a Colockum Elk tag. The late rifle tag is a very good one, not as good as the one sept tag, but it has a potential for a trophy bull. In my opinon and from what ive seen GMU 335 holds some of the biggest bulls in the state, the only other units that are close are in the Blues. Yes, some of the bulls are on private but many migrate East over HWY 97, but there are still some giants that winter on public land. Knock on some doors early and tell them that you have a special elk permit and not just a general tag. I know several land owners that might let a guy on only with a permit tag. I say screw the private land and only keep a few land owners in mind only if it dumps snow. concentrate on public land because theres and alot of it along with good access. I would concentrate my scouting b/w hwy 97 and teanaway rd. There should be a good shooter 350+ hanging out there late season. I know that is a broad area but after you do some scouting you will see some good areas to check for late Keep in mind that some of those big bulls never come down low even in bad snow years. GOOD LUCK and be prepared to shoot across a canyon
I drew the early rifle tag last year, which is a good time to "see whats there". My hunt was totally different than yours will be, but If I had the late tag I would have access to a snowmobile. There is quite a bit of ground that will be closed off for driving that you can ride snowmobiles on to get to where you want to hunt. Don't be fooled, the elk are there. I spent almost every weekend scouting last year and saw few bulls until the rut neared. Then the switch came on. I guarantee there are bulls on the public ground. I went over in December last year just to see some bulls and there were very few on private property. It was a mild winter, but even with a heavy one, most of the private ground borders timber company land. I didnt shoot the biggest bull, but i did see some brutes scouting. I just couldnt restrain myself. I know my tag was a lot different but feel free to p.m. me if you need.
hey jackelope are you a kill expert since you have 10000 posts sounds like you are a bull shooter.
yea, seemed odd no 6's or larger for Muzz or archery with under 20% success combined... and 80% success with all 6pts or better w/ rifle. Very late snow or just the ability to close the gap at 2500fps!?! Going to work my ars off to fill this tag with a 6er and see if we can't put one in the archery column as well, can't let those rifle boys and girls completely thrash us! It seems like there are some real cool guys on here willing to help out...looking forward to returning the favor
