i went scouting for my peaches ridge bull tag planned on hunting little naches tried to scout it took my gator could only use on jeep trails they are not gator friendly so went to tanum looked around for a bit decided tanum the only option any ideas to look certian roads.
-
Taneum can be pretty tough, with lots of private land where a lot of the elk are. I think I'd rather hunt Little Naches, since you have the option. There's a lot more area to hunt and it's much easier to access. Is it the muzzleloader permit you have?
-
its a modern tag i am disabled cant walk if i had choice would go in to little naches my gator cant handle the jeep trails and to thick to road hunt thats why my only option is 336 wish i had a rock crawling jeep then i could stay in little naches
-
I don't believe that Gator is legal anywhere in the Taneum. I really think you'd have a lot more opportunity to see elk from a road in the Little Naches. There's a lot more roads and a lot more places to hunt. Little Naches even has quite a few clearcuts whereas Taneum has virtually none.

tanam is a green dot road system any thing with wheels

Oh, are you talking about the Fish & Wildlife land? If so, there's not a lot there, and you can't cross over onto the National Forest, at least not legally. There could be elk in there though, it's worth a try. Is your season October 1-10?
I still think Little Naches is much better. You could hunt the roads there with a pickup.

its oct22-nov4th

I hate to say this (I like nobody in this state driving off roads and like the fact that the guy that gets out and sweats cant be passed by an ATV), but I think you can drive where others cant due to your disability. I was told that persons of disability cannot be discriminated against. I think with the right research and permit you can drive on non-green dot roads. Someone like you who cant walk should be able to get access.

You are pretty sol trying to hunt from your gator. Hunted taneum my whole hunting career. Killed a lot of elk out of that unit.

back in august i went to naches ranger station got bunch of maps said only jeep trails or green dot otherwise tahoe bound i did see a couple medows i wouldnt mind watching even in tahoe
-
The first 5 days of your season would be a great time to hunt in the Little Naches, before the general rifle season opens. I think you'd have a chance of finding some elk close to the roads, and being disabled, you're allowed to shoot from the vehicle.

i went in through bold mountain didnt went over to clemons landing where doeds green dot kick in
-
i might try there one more time
-
You need to pick up a LT Murray Wildlife Area "Green Dot" map. You can get them at the WDFW office in Ellensburg. Bald Mountain isn't in Taneum or Little Naches. Sounds like you were in Manastash and/or Umtanum if you were around Bald Mountain and Clemans Mountain.
-
If i remember right thete are alot of gated roads in the little naches that only disabled hunters can access. The will give you a key or a code.
