I have 1 trad ganger coming out this year and possibly 2. It is just a matter of finding enough elk herds to go around.

What side of Oregon were you thinking about having the hunt east or west?

I am thinking Western Oregon because there are more stable elk herds and larger numbers.

on another note if we did choose mt hebo there are several small lakes that are remote and great camping spots very close to the elk hunting grounds

Keep me in mind for next year. Let's talk about this same time and set up a weekend or three to scout the areas.

Last time I saw some easteners try to hunt the coast they couldn't figure out how to get off the road...They just kept bouncing off the brush...   :scared:  

Unless you are from around here and know the coast,it is cruel and unusual punishment... LOL

 Good luck...

The only place I found steeper terrain and thicker brush then the coast was the North Fork of the Walla Walla River in Northeast Oregon!     :readit:    :saywhat:

Why don't you hunt in Washington?

There's no brush on the Coast!  Ha, ha, ha!  For those who don't know, the current archery world record Roosevelt elk came off of Mt. Hebo.  I might be in for a hunt with you, keep me up to date!    :campfire:

What is the cost for out of state tags and License? I hunted eastern Oregon about 12 years ago and had a blast. I would love to go back.

Not all of us stay on the roads  ;)  It was smokin hot when we were there. No rain, mist nothing after the first morning and the elk dove off the mountain and headed down. Well we went after them day after day all the way to the bottom.

Most beautiful country I've ever hunted in but the tuffest also. You better be in awsome shape to hunt them mountains. But I'd do it again in a heart beat   :D  

We had much better luck on the east side, Dang cats were every were though and people don't seem to bother them.  :eek:
