PM sent. Hope you do well with the tag, and maybe I will see you out scouting.

New to the forum but I drew this tag as well. Really the only reason I found this forum was looking for info on the hunt. Any advice is appropriate.

Hello guys - I drew the watershed tag this year, after 17 years of attempting.....  It has been a long time coming.  As a boy, I hunted around the watershed unit, during my first several years of hunting (after that, I spent the next 25 years chasing elk above the Grand Ronde River).  During those first years, I recall looking down into the Shed, and thinking, you'd have to be NUTS!!! to go after an elk in that unit.....  Or you would simply need to pack a fork and a knife with you, in case you shot one in the bottom.  Well, I must be NUTS!!!, because here I am.  I finally drew the tag, and I can't wait to get in there.

My 10 year old son and I drove up there this weekend, and he had similar initial thoughts.  Here he is up on Table Rock, this weekend, looking down in, as well as a panoramic view from Table Top Rock......  The weather was great.

So, my goal is to harvest a 350ish inch bull this year, and I am definitely not afraid to put in the hard work to earn it.  My plan is to get a dozen, or so, scouting trips in before the season starts.  To pull this off, all other summer plans have been put to the side:):):).

I would appreciate any help that the forum would offer, in my quest to harvest a big bull out of the watershed.

Yes, the odds are crazy.  Its great that you got it with 5 points.  That just means you get to start building up for that next hunt:):).

I am thinking I am going to get to get back up there in a couple of weeks.  I plan to drive the lower end of the unit, do some hiking, along the boundary trail, off the end of biscuit.

I have not seen any paperwork yet.  I was expecting to see it in the next couple of weeks.

Good morning everyone.  I am going to be heading up to the Shed, this Friday.  I am planning to follow the Biscuit Ridge road, and then jump on the boundary trail that heads north, and east from the end of the road.  I don't plan to spend to much time spotting (if any).  I am just trying to get familiar with the unit.  I will get some pictures posted early next week.

Are there any areas that I should focus on, while I am there?
