Hello all.

Like always hunts, family and work have taken it's toll on time this year. Looking at the calendar and I have less than 2 weeks before my first Roosevelt Elk hunt. I drew this tag with 10 non-resident points so it's not a super easy tag to draw. Looking at harvest odds from the last 4 years success is fairly low from 31% to 46% on the best year. Phone calls to biologist's, wardens and from a few locals have all dried up or pending call backs. I currently have somewhat of a plan but nothing concrete yet more of spots that look promising.

If anyone has hunted or knows anything about this hunt I would be thankful for any info that you could provide.

Thanks and happy hunting to all.
 
Never hunted there but is in a zone where can be thick and drip rain in the Coastal Jungle even if stopped raining hours ago. Not much timber cutting in Oregon the past 20 years so the elk habitat is shrinking in most of Oregon as the elk thrived on recent clear cuts where grass would grow well for a few years then as the trees got bigger the deer had grub. As canopy gets taller, nothing for the deer, either.
