Title: Peaches Ridge archery bull tag
Post by: Fleischbein on August 13, 2016, 09:18:09 PM: Finally drew a archery bull tag for peaches ridge! I am new to hunting unit 336. I normally hunt elk off teanaway rd. over the summer I have scouted area 336 from taneum ridge all the way up to quartz mountain and scouted all kinds of different elevations. I have had a blast scouting the area and have seen quite a few small bucks and a bob cat. But no luck seeing any elk or any fresh sign. I am looking for any tips on hunting the area. Thank you!!

I value my time that I get to spend in the woods with my family and friends so we all bought hammocks and a nice pair of hunting boots and hopefully planning on hiking far in enough so we wouldn't be competing.

If u get on little nachese road and go up the 1922 or the 1920 (logging road) get out of your truck and stay away from the roads u will be into bulls allmost every day. Just dont beautiful too much do lots of Cow calls
