Too bad after 20 years it's tag soup for dinner. That's trophy hunting for some.

Great bear! Chocolate with a white chest patch to boot! Congrats!

Hey fellow hunters, I have been hearing of a lot of folks talking about the deer and elk possibly getting hit hard here in NE Oregon. So far, animals are doing ok. Are we worried....yes we are, as we still have a lot of winter left. Long term forecast doesn't look favorable for the deer and elk...

Get ahold of Dave Antley jr, he lives in Klamath Falls and is a "guide", and knows everything about elk. Ask him for pictures of all his past clients big bulls, I am sure he has tons of pictures and stories! :P

Caden, We just returned from a 5 day scouting trip in Steens. We saw 16 nice bucks in 1.5 days of scouting, 3 of which were already 180 class bucks so I am guessing them to top out in the high 190s and even maybe break the 200" mark. I would just head anywhere, except the "popular" drainages...

Everyone I use to fly is in Union or Baker counties. There is a guy I know up in Wallowa county that flies, but he is another Outfitter so doubtful he would fly you around to hunt on your own. Google it....I am sure there is someone in Wallowa Co that can legally fly you. Good luck and enjoy!

Very little snow in the Blues this winter. I think boars will be coming out a little earlier this spring. But, it will still need a good green up to keep them out. As it stands now, I would come a week earlier than you usually do, for best chances at a non haired out boar. If you are just...

Wow, what a year already! I am already seeing 6x6 bulls in the velvet with GREAT mass. So should be a great year for antler growth. Congrats on the kid and the tags....probably should make a trip to Vegas a reality! ;-)

Haha true story. Yes I have clients to guide...but a goat or sheep tag be alright! :)

Now I won't draw anything for sure now....I misspelled a word in my post. Ugh... :)

Oregon is the only state that I know of that wont publish draw statistics when its known to them who has drawn/not drawn. Talked to them today, and they said "The results should be available on your hunter info online by the 20th" Are they really that inapt or understaffed? The draw was last...

RE: By June 26 That's right! Thanks

Heck, I never draw or get to go hunting anymore lol. Everyone thinks being a guide is the dream job, until they realize how hard the work really is to be a good guide, and also that us guides rarely get to go hunting ourselves! :-( But good luck everyone in the draw! Bob Staples

RE: By June 26 How do we check back door online again? I did it last year, but have forgotten how.

Marty, looks like I was wrong. I really thought there were some good guys in MT that wouldn't mind pointing you in the right direction. I hope you have a great time scouting and hunting this year!

One NR tag in the draw.

Zim, these elk in the "Big Three" units are the same genetics. Its all about what type of country you prefer to hunt. I guide in all 3 of these units, but Mt Emily is my favorite unit to hunt. I have lived in these units almost all of my life, and watch these bulls year round. Its really about...

Manny, as bleak as it seems....ODFW is actually doing some good things for deer. IMHO best thing they could do though is cut tags in half or totally shut down deer season for two years. However, I personally know of +8 bucks killed in NE Oregon that go over 200"! Since ODFW is WAY behind the...

Nick, thanks for the kind words. If my word isn't good, then I don't have much. Unfortunately a mans word now a days means VERY little. But I am old school, my word and handshake mean something. Yes your son stopped by. Thanks for coming to say hi. Travis, I will make sure I do that for you...

Yes, internet is a great tool. But I think talking and visiting with real live people is more productive. I do sportsmens shows every year because I get to meet some really great people and its the only chance some of you get to come visit with me and talk hunting. Here are a couple of shows...

How many of you frequent Sportsmen's shows? Which ones do you visit, and which ones are your favorites? We are doing Sacramento ISE show, O'Loughlins Portland and Puyallup shows this year. Looking to possibly do other shows next year, so wanted to see who likes what shows the best.

I wont have a ton of time to scout or hunt, as I am busy guiding here in Oregon. Just looking to opportunity mainly. Whats the draw odds and average quality for deer, elk and antelope? Might even consider doing a partial trade for a hunt up here for help getting to know 18A down there.... I will...

Its in Antelope Valley Ranches.....

Hello fellow MM, I am from Oregon and recently inherited some land in unit 18A. However, I know nothing of that area. Was born in Kingman, and moved up here to Oregon when I was just a kid. ANY info be appreciated. I am an Oregon Outfitter and Guide, but not interested in guiding or outfitting...

Somewhere between 180"-250" ;-)

Travis, it would be a blast doing a Spring Bear hunt with you! Nick, would be great to meet you, see you at the Show.

Sorry Travis, You will need to come see me personally. But, its only a $69 flight for you! :)

Celebrating 10 years of being in business! We are giving away a 3 day turkey hunt out of a lodge, OR a 5 day Spring bear hunt in the Blue Mountains of NE Oregon. You must apply at either Portland OR, Puyallup WA, or in Sacramento CA Sportshow. We will draw ONE lucky winner at the end of our...

All I am going to say is, Yes.....that's an Oregon buck.

I have hunted it personally twice, and guided it. It is living off of its reputation. Not only is there not many quality deer down there.....there are VERY few deer period! Save your points and wait for Steens to turn around. I think with the juniper removal and cougar depradation hunting that...

Everyone deserves to tell his side of the story. I once had a guy that passed up 13 6pt bulls and went home empty try and destroy my reputation on here. So I think Rich should get on here, and TRY and explain his poor business practices. I doubt he will, sounds like his reputation is well known...

Ok, I tried to report him to ebay. Do I need a PHD to do this!? I tried all kind of links. I could not find a way to report him, since I was not a buyer recently. It is crazy how hard it is to report a bad ebayer! Honestly, I used ebay to launch my business 10 years ago, but now I no longer...

>What does that tag cost? > > >Traditional >>>-------> It varies on the tag and hunt length. The tag/hunt usually go for $8k-$13k. This is a fully guided hunt and the tag. Some of these tags would take a NR 17-20 years to draw.

>all great bulls. too bad >everybody's standing so far back >though. Thanks for the compliment and the "comment". Yes, not straddling the horns of the animals does tend to make them look larger. I am sure when you take pictures, you tend do take pics that focus more on you and to make the...

Back in 2009, I was trading Rich a hunt here in Oregon, in exchange a hunt for my 9 year old son on a Texas ranch for big whitetail. This was going to be my sons first big game hunt. Booked plane tickets and my son and I were at airport, and I was trying to get ahold of Rich, and finally did...
