I honestly would hunt the big bend tag. You probably would have a better chance at shooting a better buck. :twocents:
I have some experience with the 335 unit but have never hunted big bend. Do you have experience up there?

no but have lived in the teanaway and hunted it for years. Put in one time for the late teanaway muzzy deer tag. I was very disappointed. First and last time I applied for it.I honestly would hunt the big bend tag. You probably would have a better chance at shooting a better buck. :twocents:

what I learned; its no Entiat or Okanagan late tag for sure!!
I had Teanaway late archery tag last year. Aside from passing on a 1x2 and small 2point muley bucks early in the season, the tag was a bust.
11 days straight hunting, saw few deer. No rut action observed my entire time, probably rut was over.
Covered area from 97 up to Iron Creek interior, then from camp off the FR9738 Blue creek side to Teanaway river road then hiked in Dickey creek a few days. Dickey Creek is where I spotted the 2 wolves on different days near the end of my hunt. Came across fresh cougar tracks, next to sets of deer tracks, in the snow on several days.
Saw more elk than deer. Too bad didn't have multi season elk, had close shots at cows on several days.
Perhaps the prior late rifle tags cleaned out the mainframe 4x4 & lesser bucks.
The Dickey creek gate area I went in/out several miles, averaging 8-10 miles per day per Onynx & GPS.
Got up high on ridges, glassed AZ-optics style for a couple hours and still hunted down the ridgelines. Didn't spot any decent bucks in 30 hours of morning glassing.
Last week of the season I had perfect hunting weather; fresh snow each night for quiet moving and cold temps during the days. I have never put as many miles on the boots, before dawn until after shooting hours, as was the case for this hunt. At least I was comfortable and warm in my wall tent with wood stove.
Statistics for this tag last year had zero harvest for 10 late archery tags issued. I was so hopeful since I had done well in this area for general rifle season in years past. Disappointed but hunted well, usual camp set up was great.
at best, small bucks were spotted on lower private lands as I drove up Teanaway river road to Dickey creek gate in the dark.
The worst thing about the tag, drew as 2nd choice and busted my point build up since my late Gardner tag drawn in 2013.

It’s hard to put stock in bad reports from previous years, unless the one giving the advice stayed to the last drip of light on the last day! News flash boys (and girls) if you don’t learn how to pluck Mulies out of a wolf infested basins, then you better quit now! They live in damn near every unit west of Snoqualmie.

My dad just ate his rifle tag after days of glassing. Best of luck to you 🤞
Did he see any animals?
