Oregon 2025 Draw

[Taudisio]

Big boar down! I went to a different area and clear cut to sit this afternoon. I wasn’t convinced they were awake, so I rolled around to the north facing cut to glass for a minute before driving home and he was smack dab in the middle of it.

Saw one bear in a patchy plantation too far away to shoot at, got above him and starting blowing on a predator call. Heard him close below me but he got in my wind and was out of there. Otherwise coming up empty handed. I've got a handful of what seem like really great spots (large clearcuts you have to hike to, far back in the forest with a ton of green stuff, water, and cliffy grass slide features) but I'm just not seeing sign at all. I've covered a lot of miles on foot on closed, grassy roads and have seen one bear pile. Definitely frustrating but there's still lots of time left.

I have been out with my dad probably 10 days so far since I tagged out. Not seeing sign on the roads except a track here and there. We have seen 4 bears in the last few days. Been on one, couldn’t punch the tag though. All big bears. It’s still chilly, I’m guessing they are all big boars out and the smaller ones are still tucked away. I’m hoping this heat wave coming middle of the week is going to wake up some more targets for him.
