If your there a week before the season starts, you should have a good chance at a nice bull. Not many people up there thenand they bulls are still active and during the day (some what).
The 1906 should be a good bet for you then also.... There are elk all over those hills, so be ready for one to pop up where you dont expect them :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

I know where some big bulls are in the unit but it is a little bit to late to be asking. I did see a 7x8 running around yesterday somewhere up in the woods. Not sharing any info. good luck.
That's. Cold....

1. its late in the game to be asking for help
2. the day you got drawn you should of starting scouting
3. get up there now and look around
4. GET OFF THE ROADS
5. this is a vast area that holds many elk, others may say no or i didnt see any. Look around and HUNT, that is a great tag. Wish i could help more but im busy with others that needed help.

You will find that most people on here are not willing to help out a fellow hunter. Not all, but most. I don't know the area but if I did I would give you any info I had. Good luck on your hunt. I hope you are successful.Maybe we can, or I will rephrase that quote! Most people are willing to give out information but would also like those to contribute to it as well! See its like hunting, the more you put into to it the more you'll get out of it and have a higher chance at harvesting animals. I don't see a problem giving information, but you have to figure that the hunt has already begun for some of us! IMHO, information will be given out if you can just read between the lines. Additional Hunting reports should start to trickling in over the next few weeks!

Hey, carp, funny thing is ive killed two bucks on cpost! Years ago
Maybe you are lost. This is a bull thread not a buck thread. I am tired of seeing all this c post crap when everyone is saying it to mess with new members and junk threads up.

I am not coming down on you for helping people. The fact that it turns way to many threads to crap and some new members leave because of bad info and the way they are treated.
Post by: PlateauNDN on September 07, 2012, 10:39:04 AM
I get that C-POST is an inside joke among members here, probably meant for all the people asking where to go to get a big bull. It doesn't bother me, experience has its privileges and I am the new guy here. But from what I have heard you can sit in your lawn chair and pick out the elk you want to shoot as they pass by at C-POST. ;)
now this is somebody that i would help if i knew the area better, takes the punch and rolls with it.

agree as well.
It's not once in awhile and it's on way to many threads. It's going to change very soon trust me on that one. Many people are tired of it. I have got messages from people telling me how old it is getting. Wanting to quit because of the crap and driving new members away. I have got messages on this very thread from people thanking me for saying it :tup:

I would recomend you head over to the introduction thread and post a little bit about yourself. As it was said on here earlier, some people around here don't like to give out information to "newbies". I see you are from Bickleton, myself and a few others are from Goldendale. Have a great hunting season!
As far as Peaches Ridge I have never seen or hunted that area. I would do a quick search of "Peaches Ridge" on the top right of the screen and see what topics come up.

I just got back from that area and will head back tomorrow. Couple things I can tell you;
-the woods are crawling with hunters. This is only my 3rd year hunting elk so I don't have much to compare it to. But it seems bad. No idea how that will affect modern.
-it is very dry and noisy. The elk rest in thick blowdown most of the day and are tough to get on.
-bulls are bugling already and we have seen several very nice bulls with 20-30 cows with them just this week.
-While going high is probably what I would do if I had a bull tag, I have been surprised by the quality of bulls we see low and have seen every year for the past 3. VERY close to where you are describing.
Good luck, the elk are there, hopefully you will find them when modern starts.

Milk creek and all the other closed roads gives you opportunities to shoot nice bulls. I have personally seen more bulls off the 1913 than I do the 1914 while I am up there. And just so you know, the number of archery hunters up there is nothing compared to modern firearm. there have been camps up there since the first week of august.
Thanks Naches Sportsman, a friend and I drove around the 1913 today and only ended up seeing one cow all day, the pickup just fit between the guard rail and Ricks on the 1913 bridge. Tried bugling a few times but didn't get any response. There was snow on top of Ravens Roost this morning for a short time. Gonna keep on looking!
