I am a bow hunter but also cross over with a rifle. I am competent with both weapons so it all depends on what I want to shoot. I am looking for the best chance for my 12 year old son to get his first elk. He will shoot a rifle, no bow just yet. Doesnt matter if it is a cow hunt or any elk just want him to get a good chance at one. Also going to try and get him a youth deer tag, any suggestions would be great. By the way we are Native born and raised country boy Oregonians from a small west side town here. Been right here for 47 years.
ELK!!!!

LAST EDITED ON Apr-21-07 AT 10:03PM (MST)[p]Try for the 224T2 Ash Valley youth hunt. 36% draw with zero points and 100% with 1 point. 100% success on antlerless elk. 70% public land with a month to hunt.
The best youth hunt by far is the 675T Interstate Unit. Mule deer in the rut.

===support your local guzzlers. OHA life member,lapine oregon=== what units do you know/hunted before? for deer or elk. the first units i would think about are the areas i have experience in. if you have any ideas from looking at the success in past years. here is where you do the research for each units tags. http://www.dfw.state.or.us/resources/hunting/big_game/controlled_hunts/reports/index.asp#Stats

Both the rogue and south umpqua youth cow tags are good tags. You have a fair chance to draw the south umpqua youth cow tag with no points. As for deer the Interstate youth tag is a good tag that is in the middle of November, however it will take four year or so to draw but the wait is worth it. I had the tag in 2000 and killed a 29" buck. Another decent tag that is much easier to draw is the North Warner youth deer tag as well. Good luck.
