Title: Teanaway bull elk
Post by: 1buckdown on June 11, 2025, 07:50:21 PM: I drew Teanaway bull elk. It was my third choice. Happy to finally get drawn, but did I waste 22pts for this area? I will put the miles on scouting!

I wouldn’t say that hunt is wasting 22 points.

Lots of good bulls in the spots I chase unicorns.

not the best tag in the state. I’d turn it back in and give someone else a chance that knows what they got.

Plenty of big and really big bulls in that unit. To tag the monsters alot of things have to line up just right though so don't focus on the size as the true measure of success of the hunt is my opinion.

The only way you waste 22 points is if you take them to your grave, which sadly, many will.

Once your season rolls around, bulls will have been pressured by archers, muzzleloader hunters. Even more, spooked by October 11>21st rifle deer hunters too.
Teanaway elk KNOW where the private land sanctuaries are.
