Am wondering if anyone knows a landowner that will allow access (fee?) to the lower part of the mountain. Had the tag 10 years ago & would rather hike down vs hiking back up at the end of the day. If not, I can always hunt down & up.

Thanks,

Dean
 
Try Paul Davis at the Alford ranch. You can also try calling the Hines ODFW department 541-573-6582. They might know of some landowners as well.
 
ODFW spends a lot of money on access in the steens. Look up the access/habitat program on the ODFW website---------------------------------------------------------------------------------support your local guzzlers. OHA life member,lapine oregon
 
LAST EDITED ON Jul-17-12 AT 04:35PM (MST)[p]oregonhuntingmap.com will give you all the access points that are funded by ODFW as well as showing all public and private land located in Oregon.
 
Steens Rifle. Had it 10 yrs ago & didn't take a deer. I would think the hunting will be worse....it is what it is. That being said, I still will have a fun hunt.
 
Do you have a good map? Alot of that Steens Mountain country is already public land. There are some ranchers down there that would probably let you go through for a fee but really you can probably get around on just the public land. A good map is a must though. Do you have a certain area that you want to go into? Its a big area, alot of good country and alot of public land. I'll keep my ears open and you could check with Steve and Dwight Hammond but you might do better working the public access.
 
I wouldn't bother Steve and Dwight there both heading to prison in September for a minimum of 5 years.
 
I have the Spring 2001 Steens Cooperative map...I was told it is still the most current??

I hunted all over the last time, however that east side is straight up & down. It is a sumbiotch getting up out of there when it is dark. Was just wanting to explore going down @ dark a day or two vs going up. I have no real spot.....I was just planning on "hunting" wherever. I saw a lot of bucks last time, just nothing I wanted to tag. Don't care if I tag one this year either.....but I am going to have fun looking!!

Thanks for all your help....if anyone of you are out there on that hunt...I'll buy you a beer!
