I think if there are guys that go out every year for a long time, they might find a little bit of a pattern on how far they have to go in before they find elk.
Yeah I’ve been doing more research I keep changing my mind on what unit I should hunt, I’m looking into the east central cascades tag then my second choice will probably be a cow or spike tag just for some experience and to fill the freezer. Can I still get my general western elk tag if I don’t...
I have 0 points I’ve never applied before but I use top rut by onX and they give me all the info I need like draw odds, 2023 1st applicants, tag quotas and more.
I’m going to do that as well. Being 21 years old I don’t have many resources to make those hunts actually happen yet but I can get points for those states for when I’m ready but for now I’m stuck in Oregon, maybe just maybe Idaho this year.
Gonna hopefully be hunting elk for(living in the woods) 5-6 days in the east side of Oregon anywhere from nov 1st to November 19th depending on which tag I draw if I draw.
I have yet to set foot in the backcountry but I am putting in for my first late season elk hunt here in Oregon this year. What’s some must haves (clothing, packs, boots, food, etc) on a November backcountry elk hunt in this so very wet state?
