Go as close to the top as you can. Stay on the west side. Just listen for them they will do all of the rest of the help you will need. Be ready for miles of tough country.

I'm always amazed at these post. I have never hunted in a name brand coat, shirt or pants. I have been working out doors most of my life. I can't say that I have never been cold, but I can say that I have spent days out in -40 and been just fine. I wear layers but they are run of the mill...
I'm not much of a scouter guy. I start scouting usually the first day of the season. I grew up in the Boise valley and hunted deer in 39 back in the early 80's. It was so crazy good that I took 12 different people deer hunting for their first time in a single season. All shot a deer. I...
I like a lot of the comments above have used a variety of knifes. My ultimate favorite is a Cutco Double D edge drop point. I have worked through many elk with a single knife. The issue I have is the re sharpening gaurentee, they don't come back as sharp as new.
Maybe some day I will buy a...
A small subaru or like 4wd car would get you around nice and quite. I have driven right up to herds of elk with a car. On the other hand two years ago we were watching a herd of elk and they took off running. In about a minute we could hear an ATV coming, then it showed up in about 5 minutes...
The ones pushing the button is not IF&G it is a contractor and they don't work 8-5 usually. Private sector works all kind of hours. It may take an approval from F&G but I bet it could happen after hours if and when it is ready.
Today I called to get the standard answer of by July 10th. When...
If you can be there the whole season then I would be there. If you want to shoot the biggest buck in the unit, then go early and find him and shoot him the first minute of the season. If you want a fun relaxing hunt then skip the opener and enjoy looking over all that is left. I'm sure you...
I lived and hunted the Pan Handle for about 10 years. I shot a cow off the road above Mullen. The north country is very thick, but logging clear cut areas are great places.I also think you could find lots of area to hunt in the southern portion of the Pan Handle. lots of logging roads to...
Good for you!!! I do not know much about 54 cow hunt, but what I heard is that some farms are having trouble with the Elk raiding the fields. So you might knock some doors and talk to the local F&G. I too was the only one in my family to hunt. Long learning curve for me but 40+ years later it...
Math sucks. Mine should be around 53,000, if the same amount of people put in as last year. I guess I would have to say I still have a shot. I went to bed thinking I had a great shot at it. Then I woke up and grabbed the calculator. sure was a bummer.

There is a Ma and Pop place in La Grande called Oregon Trail Trader. 2312 Adams Ave. Great place to take a break and stretch your legs. Also the Goodwill in Bend has been known to have some used high end camping gear if you are okay with used.

Same disclosure as everyone else. I bought a voucher that allowed me to put in for a draw on a LOP tag in Oregon. The Land owner give the rights to sell the tag to Red Cross. I wrote a check to Red Cross. With that I wrote the whole amount off as a donation. The next one I bought a fishing...
