Just went scouting in Siuslaw, but didnt see a single elk, and very little sign. *shrug* I hope its a decent year too.
There's a herd of elk (about 50-60 altogether) that live near my house. A couple of bull are 5 points. A couple of 3 & 4 point and a few spikes. I didn't draw a saddle mt tag which I'm kicking myself for. These things walk right through the wetlands of my back yard. I don't know if I'd shoot one there though. I've got neighbors on both sides within 20' of my house. Not sure that would be a smart move or not.

There are no elk in the coast range, better off to just stay home and avoid the wind, rain and salmonberry. Trust me, I'm doing you a favor talking you out of it..... Ha ha
Well, everything west of the Nehalem River is in the Saddle Mt. unit. Next year I will put in for the saddle unit. With that draw you're almost guaranteed to get your tag. I think last year there were fewer applicants than available tags. You do have to get a 3pt or better though.I'm not sure if you can hunt there but there are many Elk out North Fork road.
Tonight on the way home from my parent ranch we had 26 Elk cross the road about 30 yards away from our car. There was 2 bulls in the bunch, one was a 4x5 and the other was a 3x3. I hope they stick around for another week!
Soooooooooo where abouts were those elk?
Well my season ended awesome. Hiked about 12 miles then on way back to the truck 100 yds from the landing a big 6x6 casually walked out. Boom, flop, dinner! I have to finish packing him out in the morning but no complaints. I'll post pics when I get home.
I am frickin Stoked! I am hungry to get a nice Bull this year! I have gone Elk hunting plenty of times but have had no luck, Maybe I'll get lucky this season.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that it wwon't be as bad as Deer season with hunters everywhere.
