Title: Peaches
Post by: coachcw on June 21, 2018, 10:23:48 PM: Looks like my kid hit a double quality buck and peaches bull . Both archery should be really fun fall calling bulls and chassing bucks.

What is Peahes anyhow?

GMU 336/346 (which are divided by the namesake, Peaches Ridge).

Fantastic hunt, if you don't mind some company ;). Special tag archery should be a blast before the masses arrive. Congrats!

peaches ridge actually divides taneum (336) and manashtash (340) and is just north of (346)
I think the permit season is the same as the General season dates except there isn’t a General season in 346.

Day 7 of the grind with plenty of encounters we finally connected. Lots of miles on the boots and lots of “dump ins” on buglers in the bottom of nasty canyons.
Weather has been awesome and the bulls are singing real well

Way to go Jake!

Glad I could be there for coach to abuse and drag up and down the mtns all week too.
