Post by: bankwalker on July 26, 2011, 08:26:27 PM: i spent a couple days by reedsport, and after what i seen it would be worth it to me. maybe i was just lucky, but damn did i see alot of elk.

Post by: blacktailcrzy on July 26, 2011, 08:54:33 PM: ya its just hard to justify when i could go to alot of other states but just not the same with roseys

Post by: Crunchy on July 26, 2011, 11:51:06 PM: I hunt eastern Oregon and its worth every penny to hunt big bulls. Its a real elk hunting experience to get into so many elk and see so many bulls. Their season is longer, but I only hunt the last 10 days.

Post by: Crunchy on July 27, 2011, 01:12:34 AM: Hope this doesnt violate any forum rules, but there is a new hunting video out for hunting roseys in western oregon. I just ordered it. If you have seen Two weeks in Purgatory, Return to Purgatory, and whichever was the most recent release you will probably like this one as well. Regular guys hunting public land. Below is the link. If i violated some rule, just delete this.

There is a elk refuge in Reedsport. Everytime we go to the dunes (Winchester), we see a good amount of elk out in that refuge. Lots of cows and a few nice bulls. Too small of an area to hunt in my opinion. Plus you can bet your last dollar those locals have thos elk spoken for. Seems to be more private land than public.

I love hunting eastern Oregon with my buddies. There are few things better than spot and stalk hunting elk, running from thicket to thicket with them getting in range to let an arrow fly on a big bull

I wish I lived in Richland. Would cut my drive time to Desolation in half

Post by: kbyers on July 27, 2011, 02:18:32 PM: I have heard good things about Desolation. We are either in Ukiah or Starkey. What was really nice was when the state of Oregon reimbursed soldiers in the Oregon National Guard for their hunting and fishing licenses, even if you were from out of state. Gotta love budget cut backs
Title: Re: *oregon rosey *
Post by: Crunchy on July 27, 2011, 02:33:53 PM: I hear those units are good as well. Hard to pass up the time and knowledge of Desolation and start over somewhere else. I do a 9 day hunt from Sept 17th to the end of their season which I think is the 26th. Hunting the REAL rutt!

Post by: blacktailcrzy on July 27, 2011, 05:04:15 PM: you guys are talking about chasing big bulls so is it any bull over there or what are the rules for archery
Title: Re: *oregon rosey *
Post by: Crunchy on July 27, 2011, 11:38:20 PM: Where I hunted last year was any elk. This year it changed to any bull. I think most eastside units are any bull now.
Title: Re: *oregon rosey *
Post by: mjtbackcountry on July 28, 2011, 07:49:43 AM: I hunted the Malhuer unit last year and will be back in 27 days! its well worth the money for the tag. Big bulls everywhere not to mention big bucks, turkeys, bears and cougars. I saw the biggest bull and buck I've ever seen in the same week. Not to mention pressure is low and u can actually see! Its a totally different view on elk hunting, bulls screaming from every ridge top. So if u can get there go for it! :twocents:

A cool little video. I hunted south of Bigs Junction several years back. It was pretty cool. A fairly large elk heard on private land.

Post by: blacktailcrzy on July 28, 2011, 06:58:32 PM: ya it might be to late for this years hunt for me to just go blind but maybe next year i can scout and find spot that i can call my own. can any body point me in a good direction as far as a unit because looking at the whole state is kinda brod and over whelming but feel free to pm if you don't want everyone and there brother to know what your saying. thanks so far tho this has bin helpful
Title: Re: *oregon rosey *
Post by: Crunchy on July 28, 2011, 09:57:14 PM: I only know a bit about the eastside so I am no use to you if you want to hunt strictly roseys.
Title: Re: *oregon rosey *
Post by: bow4elk on July 29, 2011, 08:14:43 PM: I've hunted Oregon from '95 mostly through to last year and I think I'm done for the most part unless they drop the prices. I paid $450 in 2010 and yeah, $640! last year. A near $200 hike in one year. I killed my bull thank goodness.
Title: Re: *oregon rosey *
Post by: huntnnw on July 29, 2011, 09:13:27 PM: The price is about right with all other western states non res tags.. Idaho archery elk is close to $600
Title: Re: *oregon rosey *
Post by: Crunchy on July 29, 2011, 11:41:31 PM: Hard to pass up being able to hunt til the 26th. I just can't say no, maybe if it was around twice what it is I may think about it more, but for now I go as long as I get at least one hunting partner to go with.
