Beginner elk hunter

Your best best is to call them in or at least get them to give up their location so you can get closer to them. Most of the elk (Roosevelt) we hunt on the Oregon coast are in nasty brushy canyons so we don’t do a lot of spot and stalk, we locate with a bugle, move in to a 100 yards or so of...

Shooting sticks or bipod worth taking?

Can’t speak for most people but I haven’t used my shooting sticks since I put a good bipod on my gun. Still keep them in my pack for whatever reason but I haven’t used them in years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can a first timer from the East learn to call elk?

Nice bulls! I’m from Tillamook, it’s about a 6+ hour drive from here. I will reach out if I draw the tag. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s what I’ve been reading, the ridge I would like to hunt if I get drawn looks like the nastiest one in the whole unit. [emoji43] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bow Hunting for Elk

Most elk encounters you will have during bow season something will go wrong. I would say one out of every 6 or 7 encounters has ended with flinging and arrow (for me). You will get better each time with every encounter you have up close and you will learn a lot. Keep at it. Sent from my...

Hey guys, Looking to burn my points this year so I can start drawing lesser hunts. I currently have 13 200 series (elk) which should about get me about a 73% chance of drawing according to the Oregon tag percentages page. Lots of info on it over at Ifish but nothing about the success over the...
