Give us a call today and start planning your hunt. You’ll be glad you did.

Booking

All hunts are booked on first come first serve basis. We take a small number of clients each year to ensure high success, so availability is usually limited. It is important to plan early when booking a hunt with us.


DEPOSIT  All hunts require a 30% non-refundable credit card deposit at the time of booking, unless other arrangements are made. Hunts booked within 6 months of the hunt start require a 50% Deposit. All balances are due 60 days prior to the hunt start. Guaranteed tags are invoiced in the month of January after we have recieved our draw results.

We accept money orders, cashier checks, personal checks, Visa, MasterCard, Amex and Discover for final payments. We also accept ATM and debit cards. Unfortunately, we will no longer accept personal checks for final payments unless made prior to the 60-day deadline. CC's will remain on file for final payments should payments not be made by the deadline. Final payments made by CC are subject to + 3% bank charge. 

Terrain and Hunting Techniques

The terrain that Rocky Mountain elk live varies greatly. It is mostly steep and rugged country with deep canyons filled with thick brush, open hillsides and timbered forests. Rocky Mountain elk habitat can stretch from the mountainous regions all the way to the sage brush on the edge of the Desert. It is best to be in good physical condition for these hunts. We can cater to physical disabilities in most units.

We use all methods for success. We love spot and stalk, still hunting and calling bulls during archery season but in the dry weather we aren't afraid of sitting water and waiting for a thirsty animal.

Licensing

To be eligible to hunt or before you can apply for an elk hunt in the state of Oregon, all hunters must first create an online profile on the state website https://odfw.huntfishoregon.com/login and purchase your Resident or Non-Resident hunting license. Once you purchase your hunting license you are able to enter the public draw or purchase a guaranteed outfitter tag.

Rifle hunters have three options for obtaining an elk tag in Oregon. Once you purchase your hunting license, you can apply for a controlled draw hunt, purchase a guaranteed outfitter tag prior to March 31 or purchase a landowner tag. If you wish to apply for the controlled draw, you must apply by May 15. If successful, you then have until the day prior to the start of the hunting season to purchase your tag. If you do not purchase your tag prior to the start of the season you will be unable to obtain it. If unsuccessful you gain a preference point. If you would like to apply for the draw or would like more information, please call and we will give you the correct hunts to apply for and assist you with your application.  

Guaranteed Outfitter Tags

Each year, Outfitters are allowed to apply for 50% of the Non Resident tags for deer and elk that were drawn in the previous years public draw. Guaranteed outfitter tags are available on first come first service basis, directly through a qualified outfitter such as us.  The tags can be sold to Non Residents only and are available starting December 31 of each year however we start taking names for the first come list long before our draw. These tags are unit specific tags that outfitters have drawn in a separate draw that takes place just between outfitters. Outfitters then have until March 31 each year to sell those tags. If the tags are not sold they return to the state and can be purchased by outfitters in a leftover draw pool.  These tags can take anywhere from 8-20 years for a non resident to draw in the public drawing.


If you are interested in a premium tag for Elk or Deer don't hesitate to call us. We can put you on the list and get you on a great hunt without having to draw a tag.
