Enterprise, Oregon

[ida homer]

Girlfriends family has a neat place and some land just outside of town. We've been here twice to visit now. I can't get over how gorgeous this valley is, it literally reminds me of those pictures of Switzerland.

Does all over the place in every field. I saw some guy with 2 nice bull racks in his truck bed passing by this morning, while I was drinking coffee staring at these badass mountains to the south. Next time I visit I gotta go glass or do some more exploring, it would probably be next summer. I haven't researched yet, mostly draw tags? Anybody hunt or recreate around this area?

Been there once in the early 90's. Very nice place. Someday I would like to do a summer backpack trip into the Eagle Cap.

Unfortunately I think the area has been discovered by the foo foo crowd.

Hope it doesn't get ruined like a lot of other nice small western towns have been.

Agreed. Microbreweries popping up is usually a tell tale sign. Although they have a few good food joints in town. I ought to start diving into these F&G regs.

Some of the tags in that area are pretty hard to draw, others are easy. There are a bunch of different units around that area. The Eagle Cap is an amazing place, and well worth the effort to get into it.

I’ve done a bit, shoot me a pm with specifics.

Back in town visiting again. Does anyone know of any good places to go glass and see some elk/deer close to Joseph or Enterprise?

I can see about 100 deer from the car driving into town, but that's not as fun.

This is probably to late but the Hell's Canyon Overlook is a sight to see. You can glass for miles.

I have not been there, so no help sorry. But it’s an area I have been looking at for my Oregon visit in the next few years. Good luck with your scouting.

We used to pack into the Eagle Cap when I was a kid. We lived in Baker but had friends in Wallowa. It is amazing country. I’d like to go back some day.

We have an off-grid shack near Sumpter, OR. But, damn I guess I am too tight to drop the $$ to hunt in my backyard there being NR. Sure is fun to glass the deer, elk and goats though.
