Title: Eastside Late Archery?
Post by: WArookie on October 05, 2008, 07:19:06 PM: Anyone have any advice for a first timer during the late archery season?

I am looking mainly at the Teanaway (335) and Taneum (336) units because they are the closest to where I live.

I have quite a few days available for scouting, but I guess I should not be looking for elk exactly? I mean, where they are now is not where they will be in late November, right?

Thanks for any help you can give.
Brett

I hunted late season along hwy 410 with no success last year. I was still to high, I will try areas closer to winter feeding this year. Last year I left the truck at first light & returned for lunch. Every bush near the truck had been eaten on by a herd through out the meadow I was camped in. If I sat on top of the camper I would of tagged. >:( Last year the temp was around 20 degrees each day which I was not prepared for. Mike
