Bow season over and first gun season is over. How has everybody in Oregon done this year.

I have not had a good year i saw 5 cows when I went over to green ridge at the end bow season thats all I have seen

well I live in washington, and we are a lot like oregon. We had a pretty slow year, except for the spike my dad got. I saw a total of about 3 animals. Thats usually about what its like though.

No deer, yet and just one elk a spike. The problem wasn’t that we didn't see bulls we just couldn’t get them to clear. During the season my son saw 42 bulls and I saw 19. Only the spike cleared for the clean shot.

My son had one nice 6X6 at 15 yards, but it just wouldn't take that last half step. Just one of those years. It was hot, dry and noisy most of the time and the wind was just crazy.

As it goes “wait till next year” and at 68 there won’t be many more next years. As my son keeps telling me “you only have so many steps left” and I find it harder to climb out of those deep canyons. But I can’t think of a better place to be in August and September……

I hunted a herd of 23 that i had located. One nice 6 point in the bunch but could never get the job done.

Its been ok, seen lots of bulls

Bow hunted elk - rifle hunted deer...Didn't have a lot of luck for elk, but mostly because I didn't get to spend as much time out as I would have liked. Did more filming than hunting. Here's a video of one of the hunts I filmed - it's a back country elk hunt in Oregon. 12 mile pack in...a lot of fun!

Deer season was good - I shot a small forked horn in the Beulah Unit...only saw two bucks all season. I was happy to get my first meat in the freezer in four years! Was more than a little disappointing, however, in the number of deer. Might have been where I was hunting, but still it was discouraging.

so far i'v seen one small rage horn bull wich i messed from 35 yards and when i was bow hunting for elk i seen 3 or 4 pretty nice shooters bucks. but i when back up there with my buck rifle tag i cant find one of them, all i'v seen for deer this year is 4 does and no bucks

Isn't that the way it goes? Man, I hate that! Sad, though where I hunted for deer (Beulah Unit) I found around ten carcasses that I would guess to be cougar kills. That's a lot just to stumble across in two days of hiking! Wish we could do something about the cougar problem - would sure bring back the deer population to this state. Sorry - off topic. My bad!

My buddie took a 6x6 and I hit a limb and missed a 5x5!!!

its nice to know I'm not the only guy who missed one this year. thanks

You have no need to worry about that!! Had a guy in our part miss a chance at a big six point when a limb lifted his arrow off the rest - we comforted him by telling him that's what he gets for switching from a whisker biscuit to a drop away this year!

2 Weeks away till the second cow-calf season somethin to look forward to

I missed a spike on labor day and blew a couple chance at other bulls. I had a great season and can't wait tell Aug 28th to hurry up and get here. I'l be out looking for a cow in the Mckenzie unit during the late archery elk hunt
