Teanaway late rifle bull tag
« on: September 30, 2011, 09:38:59 PM »
My cousin and I drew the late rifle bull tag for the teanaway this year Dec 18-30. We hunt in Montana during our rifle season here (Wa) and this year we drew a multi season elk tag and put in for multiple units (bow,muzzy and rifle) that wouldn't interfere with montana. Needless to say we got drawn for teanaway.
We were excited at first but the more we talk to people it sounds like if you don't have private property to hunt, it could be very tough hunting if there's a lot of snow. I want to go scouting but I'm not sure it will do much good. Where they are now probably won't be where they will be come December. I hear the property owners only allow a few bulls to be taken during the archery season , but that's it. We have access to snowmobiles if need be and the old trusty snowshoes.
Has anyone drawn this tag lately and found a property owner that was willing to let hunters at least pass through there property to access public land down low? I would prefer hopefully getting my elk NOT in a farmers field, but also want to make the most of my 11 points used on this tag.
I called the biologist and he too said to try and find a property owner that will allow access on or through his property. "IF" there is lots of snow.
This is my first post and I,am new to this site(I wish I would have found it years ago). It looks like a great place to share and get info. I'm looking foreword in seeing everyone's animals and hopefully showing mine off.
Any info will be grately appreciated. Thank you

well  that time of year  the  elk are hanging right down  along the teanaway road out in all those private fields. so it  would be recommeneded to try to get over and get permission getting that tag is easy compared to being granted permission  at times . the sooner the better even though the season is alittle ways off.dont wait till you go over to hunt. cash could be a incentive for access.  good luck.

Yeah I'm learning that. I'm heading over next weekend to get a few doors slammed in my face. But hopefully it only takes one to grant me access. Thanks for the response.

I would think that late in the year, the elk would be down low in the fields regardless of how much snow there is.  :twocents: So, in my opinion this is a private land type of hunt. Of course there are exceptions, and I could be full it :chuckle:

It all depends on snow level, which in turn means what feed is available to them. My father had the tag last year, didn't get a monster but it was his best elk 6 x 6 that was just shy of 300, and we both were overjoyed. Plus we hunted all public land with snowmobiles.
