Off to Oregon tomorrow!
« on: November 03, 2008, 05:45:01 PM »
My dad and I are all packed up and ready to head out tomorrow morning for our special draw elk hunt! Were driving to Joseph, OR and staying a night in a hotel until Weds. morning when we load up the horses and pack into our camp. I already have butterflies. Weather forecast looks like we will encounter some snow sometime during our hunt :IBCOOL: I'm not setting any huge goals since I have never killed a bull, but at the same time I plan to be somewhat selective if the numbers are there. Anyway, best of luck for the rest of everyone's season. I'll have lots of pics when I get back and hopefully some of a couple good bulls.

Here is the elk I got in eastern Oregon in late September.  Took me three days to get this one.  We were into them pretty good, just couldnt get the bulls to come out of the thick stuff.

Thank phool,  I had a litte last night (elk that is).  I should post another pic to see if anyone can interpet the crime scene correctly.  IT was a great hunt, and my first out of state.   Always nice to bring meat home when u paid 438 for the tag.

I Like the Top Hand in Enterprise, Good steaks! The El Bijo is good Mexican food, also in Enterprise. The Stubbern Mule in Joseph had LARGE burgers. Just a few ideas. If you guys are hunting in the Imnaha, you will be competing with wolves. Good luck!

Crunchy, no kidding it nice to bring home meat when the tag is $438. I have been trying for a bull tag for a few years in the Imnaha, I must be getting close with a few points. The elk on our ranch in sled springs are just to unpredictable to fork out that many non resident dollars!
