Damn, that's good to know because they were on my list to contact. Do you or anyone else have any suggestions on an outfitter in that area?

For rack size, outfitted on private ground in units south of the big 3 down to around John Day would have better potential.

Very well-said  :)

I've DIY archery hunted and backpacked the Imnaha and Snake in their respective wilderness areas.  To have an outfitter and a rifle sounds dreamy to me! I'd have no problems dropping my OR points in either unit, if I had any:  as a non-res, I never saw the benefit of paying for points because the archery OTC units are so good compared to WA.

I'm no OR expert and I'll bet some of those units to the west of the Blues are much easier hunts.

Or if your flat out done waiting the snake river tag was 100% draw at 12 points this year. That's hardly wasting any points and a damn good tag! Personally id go for the snake river tag. DIY opportunities as well as outfitted for whatever type hunt your looking for. Outfitter that heads out of freezout filled a lot of tags in 2017. haven't heard how this year was

What an outfitter can achieve in that country is only relevant if you're willing to pay said outfitter, or if you're competent in using stock. The OP is in his 50's, in decent to good shape, hasn't mentioned getting a guide or being good with pack stock, and said difficult terrain needs to have hunting to justify it. It's decent hunting in absolutely abusive country, where if you're on foot you're stuck close to the roads and trail heads with the other fools that underestimated the terrain. If the OP is willing to spend money on a guide there's multiple other units with easier terrain and better trophy quality where he could hunt private ground where animals aren't as pressured.   

also pay someone in a jet boat and drop you off and hunt up and everything comes down. I watch hundreds of elk on the Oregon side from the ID side
