I didn't mean you specifically. It just cracks me up a little bit. These always come up. Congrats on the tag. Its the only one we put in for. Should be a blast!

I was fortunate to draw Peaches for archery.  I have hunted Taneum before, so I know the game a little bit.  Now it is practice, practice, practice with the bow... and several scouting trips this summer!

I agree. The reason I made an account on here is because I came here looking for help on a tag my dad drew several years ago.

I'm with bearpaw, who cares if somebody comes on asking for help - I'd be willing. Some of us don't have weeks on end to leave the family and scout every weekend leading up to the hunt, those that do more power to ya. I drew the Peaches tag last year and was only able to spend 5 days hunting it and went into the area not having a ton of knowledge where the elk might be. I did a ton of research, scouted when I could, and reached out to a ton of guys on this forum for assistance. They were a major help and I ended up having the best hunting trip of my life and made a ton of memories with friends and family that came along, the only negative being that I didn't close the deal on a big bull. I saw HUGE bulls every day and had some close encounters, that's hunting. It's about paying it forward and enjoying the experience more than it is about bringing home an animal in my opinion, that's just a bonus. Given that I had several good guys help me out in my efforts to prepare, I'd be happy to assist anyone that is lucky enough to pull the Peaches tag. I'm no expert but I'm confident I could point someone in the right direction given the experiences I had last year.  :tup:

You guys should relax, Brian is about the most easy going guy on this site, and helpful.  He just made a comment that we all think in our heads, it's very true guys ask for help and have no clue.  That's fine, I guarantee he's not butt hurt about it.   :tup:

I heard the PEP was tainted and if you make your way to the end of the road at their camp they force you to eat sum! We met the getsum crew at the top of ravens one day heading in. Seemed like a good bunch!

Same with me. Glad I found this site. Researching on the Internet is as good as place as any to start on a tag.

Sooo...... Is this where I post to ask for advice for my brother's preaches ridge rifle bull tag? Where I might add we've never elk hunted before  :chuckle:
In my defense I have in the past and present helped out guys on here with advice on blues hunts. We'll get cameras out and do a lot of scouting, but if anyone wanted to give some tips or trade some info for blues info I'd gladly accept.

Heck even I knew that Brian's comment was meant to be humorous. I drew the archery permit this year and I'll give people all kinds of advice on where I've seen animals in the past in the drainages that I know.
  The chances that I will see any of them in the woods is very very slight.

Congrats Katmai Guy- I hope you notch that tag!  I am already dreaming about a big bull lazily walking into the wallow I plan to set up on...  Elk fever is already setting in...

I consider this forum a valuable resource for hunting information. I DID draw peaches archery tag this year. I went to CWU so I have spent  some time cruising the roads (Tanuem, Manastash). However, I usually hunt on the North side of I-90 and don't have a lot of intel on 336/346. I would appreciate any advice. Or if you just want to B.S. about hunting send me a PM

If it was actually meant to be a joke I still see little humor in the comment (inside joke) whatever you want to call it. This is the attitude I'm trying to eradicate from this forum. Hunters are encouraged to ask questions and seek help on this forum from anyone who wishes to help them. I don't see this as even a good attempt at a joke!  :sry:

I can see the humor in the OP's post.......     because someone usually does ask for help and get whined at for asking.

Personally, I ignore them (or egg them on) and move on.

I am one of the guys who has asked forhelp here on special tags........    and I have gotten such AMAZING help from people on this site.

It is THE b
BEST. I am grateful to Dale for the site and to many, many members for help along the way.

I've done my best to reciprocate.

No need to be sorry Bearpaw. :dunno: I realize that you don't know me. But I also realize that based on that you are quick to judge. I want everyone that draws these tags to be successful. I know it hurts to burn eat these tags. If someone asks me I always try to help if I can. Just to give you a little insight other than the 7 words I typed in the beginning. I do enjoy this site and am an advocate. I will try in future not to post comments that erode its integrity.

Everyone should get a participation award! :tup:

I see where you were coming from Dale.  For every 1 persons' attempt at humor, there are 10 more bullies waiting to pounce on posters from behind their keyboards.  It gets kind of old, liking slapping Marty McFly on the back after making fun of him.

I am one of those guys who drew a moose tag and had never stepped into that unit.
I did however do as much research as possible about the draw odds , succes ratios etc....
I knew 1 guy who had the tag in few years ago, and reached out for some advice about the unit.
I went on 1 3 day scout trip and the rest was research.
Turned out hunting with 3 new guys. Had the time of my life. 

I know Brian was using this post to be funny, and it is.
I enjoy assisting hunters who need advice or help in units I have hunted. 

Bottom line is its good karma to help fellow hunters👍

I'm one of those guys that could use a little help. I drew the archery any bull tag for peaches ridge this year my second time putting in for quality elk. Let's be honest, I didnt think I'd get it. I've never hunted there before. I'm thinking of coming in from i90. I will be buying a lot of maps to help but at this point I'm not even sure of a good entry point to start my scouting. If anyone would like to pm me with any advise/help it would be much appreciated. I plan on scouting almost every weekend until then and taking family that has hunted there but any help would be great. Thanks!

If Your scouting is not productive on the I-90 side PM me and I can give you some ideas for the 410 side.

Good Luck.

One comment on this unit, the guides in the area hunt right off the roads in a lot of cases.  You don't have to go steep and deep. During the rut you will find Bulls in most canyons, just blow your bugle and go!

I know the OP meant to be humorous... and it was funny to me  :). However, I have to admit when I announced my husband drew Teanaway mf quality elk I wanted to so much ask for advise about that unit. I was too afraid too many guys on this site would be pissed because we put in for a permit in a unit we didn't know inside and out. I honestly didn't think in a million years we would get drawn for any rare permits as we didn't have a bunch of points built up. But now here we are with a pretty special permit that we want to pour our heart and soul's into but, we too, are going to need some help... That is also the primary reason I'm on this hunting forum is for info, why else would most of us be on here  :dunno: The start of this thread still made me laugh though  :chuckle:

Two years ago the dates were different, we had bulls sounding off every day but I think with the later dates we'll have better action.
