Title: 2266 - Umtanum Archery Cow Tag
Post by: Chanes8CWU on July 12, 2023, 09:39:10 AM: I lucked out (i think) and drew a cow tag in the Umtanum unit for the Nov. 22 - Dec 8 Season. Super excited. Live in Ellensburg so plan on scouting soon. As usual with the other threads, any useful info is greatly appreciated. Was thinking of targeting drainages that flow from Wenas down to Naches/Nile areas.

I have permission on some of the private lower land in the Wenas and I suggest to you and anyone else reading this that hunts that area to not trespass. The owners are sick and tired of people hunting their land and screwing up fences and gates. They will be patrolling their land and will call the Sheriff to press charges. :bdid:

When I hunt in there I always seem to find myself hunting trespassers more then elk. I have kicked a few people out of there and they always seem to play stupid, even when there is a fence and posted signs everywhere.

Thanks! And I will have the OnX going. I never intend to trespass and have that handy so if approached we can both see on the same page. Damaging private property be it fencing or gates is wrong privat or public
