    Suggestions- best back country pack out bag

    I don't have tons of experience, but my research led me to Mystery Ranch Metcalf or EXO 4800. I went with the Metcalf since it was on sale for $370 shipped on Camofire/Blackovis.

    Attracting Columbia Blacktail

    No prob. There are a few other videos on Scott’s website that are really good as well as another podcast focused on the late season archery hunt exclusively.

    Oregon Clear Cuts or Deep Timber for ANY Buck

    Hey man. I’ll defer the in depth experience to other members. I also hunt alone or with my 4 year old. I’ve found if I can even get 1/2 mile from the main roads my success seems to increase dramatically. I also did well just glassing the clear cuts. I listened and read a lot by Scott Haugen...

    Oregon Clear Cuts or Deep Timber for ANY Buck

    Thanks! And that’s exactly the types of thoughts that went through my head. Thought I needed a perfect rest to get me up off the ground in prone and over a hump. Rather than scooting out and go to sitting position and waiting for it to move where I can shoot it. I also didn’t shoot it in the...

    Oregon Clear Cuts or Deep Timber for ANY Buck

    Will do! I planned on taking the week off to seal the deal anyways. I’ll at least take a few of those days to rescout the area I was in and check out a new area as well. Since I’m still new, it feels good to finally have a “spot”. I had some trail cameras set up and only saw three other...

    Oregon Clear Cuts or Deep Timber for ANY Buck

    Yea copy that! My brother in law still has to fill his tag. I have a bear tag too (and I have a bear on the trail cam consistently). But I’m determined to find their spots to be ready for next year

    Oregon Clear Cuts or Deep Timber for ANY Buck

    So true! I’ve learned a ton, and I’m happy to be going after such a challenging quarry. Will certainly go for a bigger one in the future, but also sort of glad to not cull a hog.

    Oregon Clear Cuts or Deep Timber for ANY Buck

    57 yards. Driving rain on a standard logging road. It was facing away from me when I saw it. Really just saw it’s butt. I had already relegated myself to just checking out a new area since I had covered all the clearcuts. Caught me off guard. Since that incident, I’ve been walking around...

    I'm gonna sound like a jerk, but what actually went through your brain when you spotted a deer standing in the road and you decided to back away??

    What’s your rifle weigh?

    My tikka T3X lite compact with a vortex LH and sling is 7.5lbs unloaded. It’s a great balance of light enough and enough weight to not get the wiggles too bad. As others have noted, balance is important too.

    Oregon Clear Cuts or Deep Timber for ANY Buck

    Thanks for that. I know I should have moved slower and just gone to kneeling. But in the moment, I was trying to do everything just right and not rushed. I know I educated him a little, but I also got the guy on a trail camera only 0.4 miles away from this spot. Needless to say, I’m gonna...

    Oregon Clear Cuts or Deep Timber for ANY Buck

    Yea copy that. I keep it on 1.5x all the time. I figure I can dial it up if I actually need it.

    Oregon Clear Cuts or Deep Timber for ANY Buck

    Well I went out today. Walked in to some clear cuts and glassed in the rain. Only saw one doe that I watched for 30 mins or so before something spooked her. Stayed there for another 30 to see what it was. After seeing nothing. I proceeded to very fast walk back down the logging road in a big...

    Oregon Clear Cuts or Deep Timber for ANY Buck

    Yea it’s a double edged sword to say the least. That’s my concern is when they open the gate, suddenly a route that may get one or two hunters a week get dozens and dozens. I’m hunting with my 4 year old, but I have seen next to nothing doing the road hunting model (drive, stop, look, drive).

    Oregon Clear Cuts or Deep Timber for ANY Buck

    That makes sense based on the cuts and images I’ve seen. I know Starker does it to a much smaller degree. I haven’t ever hunting Hancock/Nestucca properties. I’d like to give it a shot, but I want to find areas that have more locked gates that I can hike into.

    Oregon Clear Cuts or Deep Timber for ANY Buck

    I also know some timber companies spray so for the next 12-18 months nothing grows. I was talking to a timber employee who mentioned that I should mark the clear cut I was at (logged in the last 3 months) for follow up in 2 years. Otherwise to look else where. 3-5 year old reprod is what...
