I went to school in Eugene. While I was there, my wife got her in state hunting license. She killed both elk and deer within 10 or 15 miles of Veneta. There are miles and miles of public land to scout around there and a lot of game. I visited Eugene last weekend and caught some nice fish on the Siuslaw. There are a lot of waterfowl options close by, along with good grouse and mountain quail hunting. You have a ton of options right out your back door. The area around Eugene really has a lot going for it.
