    Oregon Roosevelt Elk

    I know I’m not OP, but I’m really interested in hunting the western part of the state this year especially if everything east of the cascades is draw. How do you choose a unit to hunt and where do you even start on the NF land? All of the forest looks pretty similar while e scouting save for...

    Building points for archery elk

    Thank you so much for the insight! For both of those states you just have to buy a license and then put in for the draw correct?

    Oregon Roosevelt Elk

    Thank you so much man! Solo hunting definitely has sped up the learning curve but can be really mentally draining when you’re not seeing any critters. However, I do love the solitude in the woods.

    First elk

    I actually found him right off the road. I was hike in hunting for 3 days before this and didn’t see anything. This was in a random spot that I’d set a trail camera at and I just walked into the group. Unfortunately, didn’t record it.

    First elk

    Yeah it was my first time archery elk hunting, first time hunting at all. Went out solo and heard zero elk the whole time, just ran into this small group of cows and this bull.
