I would hunt Idaho.
It's not hunting, It's a lifestyle.

I hear the wolves ate all the elk in Idaho, maybe try North River or Winston creek...(?)

If you can get a hold of a tag in Oregon, you should have a hunt of a life time. I would lean toward Idaho, better opportunity to hunt modern if that is what you are after.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

Hunt Idaho. Buy a wolf tag too - they're cheap, as they should be.  An area I used to hunt in ID in the Frank Church wilderness had many many elk and lots of moose.  Last I was in there it wasn't the same - lots of wolf sign, very little elk sign and virtually no moose sign.  Haven't been back for a while.  That said, there are still many areas that are very good with good elk numbers.  As someone else previously said, just keep away from the heavy wolf areas.  BTW, Oregon has wolves too - at least in the NW. :twocents:
if you're lucky enough to be in the mountains.... you're lucky enough
