    Headed to Imnaha unit OR.

    They give you a week. I have 4 days. I have no expectations and will be happy if I see elk miles away on Private. It's been a lousy year. Never saw a buck during deer season. The only thing that makes me feel less than shitty is the fact that a lot the people I know from work that hunt didn't...

    No idea how to give up

    I am familiar with a lot of coastal units in Oregon. Some of them I can hunt without a GPS I know them so well. The deer I see in a summer mushroom hunt are never there when I have a bow or rifle. I can't glass of coarse. It's freaking frustrating but I can get to many of these places if I leave...

    No idea how to give up

    I've never got a reply from any of the outfitters I emailed. I want to choose the location in the unit. Not specifically but just out of their comfort zone. I want to see this outfitter break down the hunt. I want to tent camp and care for my own meals and I want to learn. They seem to cater. It...

    No idea how to give up

    I'd have to research. Got a DUI when I was young over 20 years ago. Canada is strict and doesn't let that stuff go. But yes. I plan on flying in for a Sitka hunt in a couple of years because the meat can fit in one cooler. I'd treat it like a sight seeing tour and carry a riffle just incase.

    No idea how to give up

    I'll keep at it. Went to a couple RMEF meetings. There's not much for glassing on the coast. I sat in 4 clearcuts for a whole day each for 4 days. that's two weekends I waisted and saw nothing. I went from Willamina to Tillamook to Zig Zag to Manzanita and last weekend Detroit. I saw deer in the...

    I bought a point this year and will put in for a tag next year.

    No idea how to give up

    I don't know what an OP is but I'm definitely not hunting smart. I have no idea how to make it smarter besides taking info down of the deer I see on summer hikes and laying down apples once a week in August, clearing runways and setting up a shooting spot I can hike to when opening day comes. I...

    No idea how to give up

    Exactly! But I never will. My dad still goes grouse hunting in Pennsylvania. He doesn't take his shotgun anymore. Never sees a bird, or if he's lucky he see's one. He claims he goes for the dogs but I think he goes because he's not ready to die and his only other "hobby", woodworking, makes him...

    No idea how to give up

    I used to drink pretty heavily. At one point I just grew tired of it. It was a waist of money and time and I walked away from it. I had tried different drugs and the same thing happened. I just stopped doing it. I quit coffee on and off. I'm down to a cup to 2 cups a day. So what. But I was born...

    Looks good to me. I'll get some maps. Thank you.

    Hunting the Frank Church during the general deer season.

    What about unit 12 and 17? The Bitterroot looks tough and exciting. The reg's say one deer. That makes things easier. Looking at the stat's- the harvest rate is low, but so is the hunter numbers. And it's in October which should be better than September in the Frank. I assume that area gets snow...

    Hunting the Frank Church during the general deer season.

    Very interesting. I'll consider all of this.

    Hunting the Frank Church during the general deer season.

    I've got a map ordered. I'll look into those two and get an idea of a loop or a return trip to the same airstrip instead of floating.

    Hunting the Frank Church during the general deer season.

    I'll take that into consideration. I was thinking about doing the float just to show my non-hunting friends a different way to backpack and if there's no deer there is other units that start their general season in October. Also, flying in will show them how big this wilderness is, and thats...

    Hunting the Frank Church during the general deer season.

    All of these points make sense. Maybe we'll see about floating from one airstrip to another with a lot of hiking in between. I've got maps coming, so I'll see how doable it is. Thank you all for the feedback.

    Hunting the Frank Church during the general deer season.

    I have no friends that hunt, but I do have two friends that want to hike the Frank. I have a general season tag and it starts 9/15. My question to any of you is- If we fly in during that time are we going to be wading through other hunters? If the airstrips are chaotic with guys packing in this...

    Thanks for the tip.

    Drones

    It's not legal to use them for scouting in Oregon.

    late late season antlerless 62 Oregon

    Only have one point this year and I'm shooting for a cow tag. I had hunted Pine Creek last year during archery. I hung out on the NW side which was pretty easy hiking. I put in a lot of miles and saw a lot of nothing. I couldn't help but notice a ton of pressure. Now my guess is during November...

    going in the day before the season starts...

    A coyote on the side seems like a great idea. I had one in my yard early in the morning a few weeks back. It's coat was in such great condition I thought it was a neighbors dog.... Took a minute to realize that was the healthiest coyote I've ever seen. I wonder if the skin is worth keeping like...
