FINALLY!!!!! My brother, buddy and I drew the Peaches ridge A rifle tag as a partner hunt. For those that have had this tag before, hopefully I can pick your brain a little later on. Good luck to the rest of you! |

I have have only hunted the Little Naches side one time and that was in November, and didn't get anything, have never hunted the Tanum side. I usually just play in the area. Remember there is alot of ORV use in this/these units. If it was me I would use it to my advantage i.e use the trails for access then break brush form there, or stay as far away form the trails as possible. I talked to a couple of different archery hunters one guy stuck a nice bull around Mt. Clifty, he said it was bedded down in the middle of the trail. The other guy I ran into in the Little Naches had just bugled in a 5 pt that hung up just out of range. Both areas are riddled with clear cuts, so you do have some real open areas to glass. I think around Ravens Roost might be pretty productive, you can acces the wilderness area pretty easy form there. I have seen alot of Elk and Elk sign around Government Meadows (I have actually woke up to Elk waking by my tent close enough they were rubbing on it) I've also seen some nice size cat tracks in these areas as well. Hope this helps and good luke to you all :tup: |

I live right amongst the Peaches Ridge unit, my dad and I drew the rifle bull tags back in 2000, as partners, and he drew it again in 2003. We tagged out in 2000 on two nice bulls, one that scored 340 and the other was only around 300 or so, but both awsome bulls. We got one in 2003 that should push 340-350, but we never got it scored. I know the area very well, I work up there alot, haven't seen a whole lot of elk this year as i usually have in the past, but they are deffinetly there. I was in the Taneum last week working and saw one huge bull that if I had to guess was already 340 or so, not the greatest at scoring but i'm guess he was close to that and still had a lot of growth left. I can give u guys insight into the area, my family has huted it for years, we have a cabin up there as well. The access isn't the best, but if you have a motorcycle or 4-wheeler you can get behind the gates. Not supposed to drive behind them, only on the trails, but nobody ever patrols it. There are a lot of new and old clearcuts, lots of streams and steep canyons as well. Has everything you could ask for in the unit. |
