Bull Elk Hunting - 1st Season - Oct 27-Oct 31, 2010
The Wallowa Mountains of Northeastern Oregon have long been known for their exceptional deer and elk hunting. Falling almost entirely within the Eagle Cap Wilderness, these mountains have been home to many record book animals. Wilderness means no roads and less hunter pressure and therefore better hunting.We hunt in the Minam, Catherine Creek, Pine Creek, Keating, Snake and Imnaha units and all 1st Season Elk hunts are draw hunts.
First Season Elk hunts are five days of hunting with a day to pack-in and a day to pack-out. Packing in a few days prior to the season is recommended. Packing out the day after your hunt ends is on a first come first serve basis and some camps need to be packed out a day or two following the hunt. Give us a satellite or cell phone call and we will come and pack-out your game.
We offer Drop Camp hunts and Supplied Camp hunts. Camps are an average of 3-8 miles into the wilderness and these are 5-day hunts.
Drop Camp Hunts: We will pack you and your gear to your choice of sites. You provide all the gear. We have a 4-hunter minimum for our camps. If you have fewer than 4 or more than 4, please email or call us for a quote.
