Oregon Elk Hunting

We have two ranches with elk. One has around 100 head that live on it all year round. The other is more reliant on pressure from surrounding ranches. Most of our elk hunting is spike only. Branch bull tags must be drawn. Archery hunters may hunt any elk with an over the counter tag. There are two seasons for rifle elk. The first is a draw and the second is over the counter.

We have exclusive lease to approximately 100,000 acres of private ranch property. This country has very diverse terrain; from steep mountain mahogany south slopes to lodge pole pine & fir thicket north slopes at higher elevations to open grassy ridges with sage brush and juniper choked draws at lower elevations. The elevation varies from 3,000 ft. to 6,500 ft. I have had exclusive lease and outfitted and guided hunters on this property for the last 20 years. It has always been managed for quality elk hunting. We consistently take bulls over 300 and a few over 350, with the average bull taken being a five year old 5 or 6 point. Hunter success has averaged over 90% for the last 20 years. This area holds a resident population of about 500 – 700 elk, with a bull to cow ratio of over 30 bulls per 100 cows. “We don’t wait for migrations.”
