Eastern Oregon

[cowboymike19]

Moved to eastern Oregon from Colorado a couple years ago and just drew a 265 east Beulah tag. Been told it’s almost impossible to harvest. Hoping to prove some people wrong. If you got tips, or know a land owner here that would trade access for fence work. Let me know.

No help on your question, but hello from Eugene!

Welcome from the other side of the Cascades. Eastern Oregon is a great place! I hunted antelope in the Beulah unit many years ago. Didn't see any elk, but wasn't really in elk country either. Congrats on the tag!

Welcome! That’s a tough hunt. When ODFW sets out to reduce elk numbers they are very successful and that’s the case there.

Welcome aboard.

I would start knocking on doors. The ranchers wanted them thinned out dramatically, I doubt any of them have enough elk to legitimately sell access for elk, you might even find an old school rancher who will show you around.
I’ve hunter deer there a bunch over the years, mostly before we went to draw hunts, it is fun country to hunt.

That is Billy Butler, likes to fly his property and then some.

My experience with him has been limited, along a public road. He’s an ass hat!
