Oregon elk

Good luck to all who drew a tag in Washington! I'm still crying over all the "not selected" ink I saw under my wild id profile.
I did manage to pull an Oregon Ochoco tag.

I managed to draw an elk tag here, but will still be hunting the Desolation unit.

Nice tag!! Rifle? We should draw for bow next year. I've seen some knarly bulls there while deer hunting. That unit doesn't get the reputation it deserves. Maybe that's a good thing. Have a great hunt.

Heard some great things about that unit. Good luck to you

I drew the first season rifle Ochoco tag.  I've hunted that unit a hand full of times back in the day when you didn't need to draw.  Thankfully I have family in Prineville, so it should make for a semi-affordable hunt for me.

Nice, good luck on that hunt!

Yea, it's first season rifle. Oct. 26-30. I didn't want to mess with archery elk here in WA. Hopfully all goes well and I won't be giving Oregon any more outrageous tag fees! I'm walking away from all my other points

What are some decent units for west side bulls in Oregon? Man thats an expensive tag!

[carpsniperg2]

With that price I can't blame you! I havent put in since the price jump. I only had a few points so it's not to big of loss for me. I was hoping to get my OR lope

To me its worth every penny.  I haven't seen elk numbers like that here in washington.  And the amount of bulls/big bulls you see is crazy.  Its like a hunting TV show lol.

Worth it to me 2 if you want to share

Haha dream on.  I will toss you a few back strap steaks for being such a ....    its $650 for 8 days of awesome hunting.  Any die hard elk hunters have to try it.

[deerslyr]

yah but how many of those units are OTC and not draw only?

[Crunchy]

Most are.  At least in eastern Oregon where I hunt.  I have never hunted the west side of the state.
