Title: How is the hunting going in the Taneum?
Post by: bigbds61 on October 01, 2015, 11:29:37 AM: I have not seen any success stories out of the Taneum from archers or muzzy hunters? Are the elk not there? Praying for snow before modern rifle season.

It'll take a lot of praying for that to happen..........

Post by: bigbds61 on October 07, 2015, 03:03:06 PM: Thanks coachcw and sebla. I was kind of figuring on that and since it appears we will have another mild weather pattern during season according to the predictions not much chance of new animals moving into the area due to snow levels. Was hoping that the season being a few days later in the year we would have a better chance of snow in the higher elevations driving them down. :tdown: :bash:

We hiked way back in on a particular creek we'd been wanting to hunt. Bulls were very vocal where we were at. It was just a matter of picking the right hunt that wasn't going to kill us, so we let one of them come to us. Ended up sitting on one of their trails they had used earlier in the day down by the creek and waited it out. 4 hours later, a lone cow came right to us looking for water. Game over. We got her back to the truck just after dark. Very sore the next day, but well worth it. Extremely fun hunting for only being out there a couple days.

Nice Work! I was up there today with my muzzy cow tag and saw a nice 6x6 but there was a pretty good rain/wind storm going and he winded me before I saw any of his cows.

The wind messed up several of our hunts. It was swirling the whole time. Seems like every time we had a plan to approach them with the wind in our favor, it would change on a dime and blow right to them. Waiting for them down in the hole where the wind wasn't as much of a factor worked like a charm. Good luck if you're still up there!

We used to camp in Taneum for years and years because of the dirt bike specific trails. Surely you have looked at the maps and seen the trails on them.

Post by: PlateauNDN on October 12, 2015, 08:08:47 PM: Yes and the bikers I seen were on the designated trails. :dunno:

See it all the time in that area.....well just about everywhere that has a gate. Sad but very true, there are some that just do not obey the laws. I called the law last year on a camp with multiple quads that were riding under a gate daily......the forest service and county cops could have gave two craps. :bash: :bash: Not enough enforcement so it will continue to happen. I had pictures of it happening and no one cares. :bash: :bash:
