Peaches Ridge (anyone get drawn)

[tmike]

That's beautiful country. I've never hiked down into that meadow but I've seen elk down there. That is 410 at Greenwater. Are you talking about trying to get up to Chinook Pass or cutting back up the 72 towards I90? All you rifle and Muzzleloader permit holders be nice because there may be some great info for you after this is all said and done.

I think he meant going back over corral pass instead of chinook. Or possibly Green pass.

Ya that sounds like Green Pass. Thanks for the report Teacherman.

Hi Teacherman, I'll send a PM of the area.  I used to hunt it a lot when I was a rifle hunter (for spikes, of course.)

Ya teach labor day is the 7th this year so those motor bikes and rock crawlers are gonna be all over the place that weekend.  They're pretty used to it but the chances of them screwing up a setup is likely.

Got drawn myself for archery this year with 5 points.  Hopefully the same 360 class bull I had at 20 yards last year will haunt the same mountain.  Lots of bikes through the area during the season so lets hope it is a lot cooler and wetter than last year, seems to cut down on the numbers.  I will be doing some scouting this next few months and if I get a trail cam like I want I'll post pics if and when.  Good luck.

    Come on guys lets start praying for a early sept snow fall.  About 18" would be about right.

I'd just be happy if the daytime temps don't hit the 80's and 90's like last season.  Ya, snow would be wonderful but even morning frost would be nice with highs in the 40's up around 4-5000'.

I drew the Peaches Ridge ML bull tag this year with two points. I finally got lucky. I still didnt get drawn for deer with 9 points. I am gonna do plenty of scouting myself, but it would be nice to gain some info from the bow hunters after there hunts are done. I am gonna be in Idaho hunting from Sept 15th-25th so I will miss out on scouting right before my season starts.

The archers might leave a little one or two for the modern and muzzy guys!

I was talking about Greens Mt, the 1914 rd it goes all the way to Government Meadows. I scouted it heavy, plus all the Rd's to the left of the 1914 and the 1902. There is a ton of country in that area with tons of elk. I have no way to put pics on but I did get a pic of a nice 3 pt black tail on the crest, just down the west side, he was about 16+ wide and had nice HEAVY forks already with small eye guards. The bulls we saw where at about 500 yards just below some cliffs, you would have thought they where goats. I have already planned my next three trips, the next one involves a trail cam and salt  The ones after that I will firm up my camping spot, then I will make a final scouting trip at the end of August pull the cameras and post some pics.

I appreciate all the information that people have given me, thanks again

Finally got lucky my arse.  You drew a Bethel Archery tag in 2006.  I wish I had your bad luck. Then maybe I'd get drawn    No big deal.  I'll just kill a 350" bull in the Alpine.

A handful of pics from my last scouting trip up the Little Naches. The one of the wet spot on the ground is a mudded up elk piss puddle  don't know why it was like that must be marking his area. The deer and grouse where early morning not good light and the others are just some nice area that I cant wait to get into and hunt.
