My cousin and I drew the late rifle bull tag for the teanaway this year Dec 18-30. We hunt in Montana during our rifle season here (Wa) and this year we drew a multi season elk tag and put in for multiple units (bow,muzzy and rifle) that wouldn't interfere with montana. Needless to say we got drawn for teanaway.
We were excited at first but the more we talk to people it sounds like if you don't have private property to hunt, it could be very tough hunting if there's a lot of snow. I want to go scouting but I'm not sure it will do much good. Where they are now probably won't be where they will be come December. I hear the property owners only allow a few bulls to be taken during the archery season , but that's it. We have access to snowmobiles if need be and the old trusty snowshoes.
Has anyone drawn this tag lately and found a property owner that was willing to let hunters at least pass through there property to access public land down low? I would prefer hopefully getting my elk NOT in a farmers field, but also want to make the most of my 11 points used on this tag.
I called the biologist and he too said to try and find a property owner that will allow access on or through his property. "IF" there is lots of snow.
This is my first post and I,am new to this site(I wish I would have found it years ago). It looks like a great place to share and get info. I'm looking foreword in seeing everyone's animals and hopefully showing mine off.
Any info will be grately appreciated. Thank you
