I've been e scouting a bunch but the northern area is closest for me and that was going to be my focus. I'm going to go put up some cameras next week. I'll let you know. Maybe we can team up.
Did a 16lb full packer brisket on the Traeger for Father's day yesterday. 18 hours door to door. Started Saturday 1bout 6pm for Sunday dinner with the whole family.
Just getting started
After 18
Sliced and ready to eat
I might be about to ruin the unit I drew for deer but DAMN! Tons of great looking land, 3300 tags available but amount of people putting in for it has been dropping every year the last 10 years, last year only had 800 something apply, and at the same time success rates have been climbing. 2018...
Lewis & Clark Timber Co. own lost of the patches up and down the coast range and allow hunting with a free permit you can get online at: https://permits.greenwoodresources.com/PermitHome.aspx
Gotta love having OnX because their property is easy to pick out. The unit I drew for elk has a bunch...
These comments are pure gold folks. Thank you. I bought a couple no names off Amazon for $50/ea that have infrared no glow cams. I'm going to take a climbing stick with me and get them up off the ground to discourage interested parties and try to get them out of high traffic areas. I'll post my...
I'm still a hunting newbie but I'm wondering how many folks use game cameras for hunting elk and I have a few questions if you do:
Are cellular cameras worth it if I live nearby (2 hours) and can get out to scout/move them?
Are expensive cameras worth it which means I'll buy only one, or are...
This is only my second year hunting but that was my strategy too. I put in for total long shots for first choice and then used the OregonTags site to find likely (90%+) chance units for second choice. I drew both this year but still get to keep my points for one of those long shots in the...
Ah, that's right. Probably will do the one I drew then even though it's very late season. I know that country well as I've hiked and camped there a lot. We shall see
I drew both of my second choices. I'm HUNTING!
Buck Deer 119A - W High Cascade (rifle) 09/12/2020 - 11/06/2020
Elk 210X - Saddle Mt Unit No. 1 (rifle) 11/14/2020 - 11/17/2020
I'm also going to do general archery elk if I can get my skills up to snuff in time.
WAHOO!!!
Ditto the wireless thermometer setups. Low and slow is the way to go. I use a Traeger and start out with just smoke setting for 2-3 hours, then up to 225 for 4-6 hours, then wrap in tinfoil with a little apple juice in the bottom and temps up to 250-275 for 4-6 hours until the meat is up to temp...
Still have no lat/long in my webapp on all waypoints, on any computer, any browser, and all support keeps saying is clear my cookies. It's been a week now of back and forth and I'm approaching a new level of frustration. Please help!?
