One month countdown for Oregon Elk hunt PICS ADDED

[vandeman17]

One month from today I will be on my first day of a seven day hunt in the North East corner of Oregon. We are going to be packing in 11 miles and hopefully chasing around bugling bulls. I have been shooting my bow as much as possible and picking up gear here and there for the past few months. 30 days seems like it is still a long ways away but I am sure it will be here before I know it. I can't wait!!!

Oregon....There's no elk in OREGON!    Well there is one and I will shoot it in about 9 days.   Wasting your time guys!  Oh and the last big buck will be killed in 10 days!   

With that, I hope you guys have a great hunt!  If your around La Grande, shoot me a PM and ill meet you for a beer or coffee.   Anyways, the bulls are rubbing that velvet and bugling a little already!    Enjoy the hunt and the area. It is beautiful here and a ton of fun.

I live in La Grande!   Amazing place that's for sure!

It'd be a hell of a lot more amazing if you'd quit spending all your time behind a mocha mixer and went out and found me a big bull!

I will actually be driving through La Grande on the way there and back. We are going to be staying the night at the Cornucopia Lodge and then packing in 11 miles the next morning. I can't wait! I only have an elk tag since I am non-resident but since my dad is a resident, he is buying a deer tag too in case we spot something nice.

I will be there from Sept 14-22 hunting the Desolation and Starkey units.  Cant wait.

I am jealous, you guys have an awesome time!

With all this talk of opening day of elk here I am getting more and more excited. I spent the weekend chasing deer and it was good to get out and tests the legs and get my senses back up to speed. We leave in 10 days and now its time for the final gear check list and getting everything out, washed, cleaned, prepped etc. I am sure these next few days of work are going to drag on!

Good luck on your hunt! It's amazing country to be chasing animals in!

Have fun - been getting lots of moisture the last couple days . Had over a half inch since yesterday in the valley, looks like the Caps had been getting it pretty good. Couple small fires had torched off in there, lots of lightning.
