Question for Peaches Bowhunters
« on: September 23, 2017, 09:54:41 PM »
Hope those who held onto their quality tags managed to salvage their season and have a quality experience.  Can anyone comment on the hunting pressure during archery season in the SE portion of Little Naches (Milk Crk, Gold Crk area)? 

Heading up on the 28th to set up camp on the Taneum side and scout before my tag opens on the 30th, just wondering if it's worth the drive around to spend some time in more familiar country. 

Best of luck to all my fellow Muzzy tag holders.  It's getting real now!

I can only comment on the taneum side as I stuck to 336 the whole season. Although I ended up eating my quality tag it was the most amazing season i have ever expierienced with multiple big bull encounters on several different days. The rut seemed to kick off kind of late but at least we had some bugling, more so towards the end. Id say if you stay in 336 you'll be fine.

Quartz, and Milk and that area were crazy bugling and good bull activity this past week. Got some on video from that side as well. One guy in our East Side Elk Mafia group had a peaches tag and we got a nice 6 x 5.  I would not ignore this area. just my  :twocents:

Well, both responses really make me excited.  Really encouraged to hear that you guys had great hunting experiences with the archery tag given the circumstances.

I think the Bulls will be even more vocal during the muzz season. Quartz would be ur best best.  U have one of the top 10 permits in WA state so hold out for a big one.

Killmore, today's update on Inciweb still has the 19 as closed at the junction of the 410 as well as the country to the west of the 19.  All the country on the east side of the 19 is open, its just a matter of access to the bulk of it with the 19 being closed.  Man, if that 19 opens before or during the muzzy hunt, that would be incredible hunting, even if you could only hunt the east side of the road.  That access would open up a lot of ground that hasn't seen much pressure this fall.

The 19 is closed at kaner flat just shy of the 1902. Sign at 410 says road closed ahead. You can access the 1901. But you can't go much further up the 19 rd.
