    I recently moved to Oregon and was looking for a good tutorial on how to hunt the region. This is one of the most high quality videos I've ever seen for production value AND instruction. Thank you so much for taking this trip and sharing the experience.

      What part of Oregon do you want to hunt the gray ghost aka the black tail are a lot smarter and way more Wiley than those mules are in Eastern Oregon

      Learn how to glass clear cuts for blacktails. You might get lucky walking around in the trees but your success rate will be very low. If he would have hunted the burned areas when it was raining he may have seen more deer.

    In oregon you have to be in your spot ready to glass by sun-up. It makes things way easier. And, fire years make it rough for all hunting.

    Way to grind it out and show everyone that there are plentiful options for hunts out there for little to no points.

      Government is the problem not the solution. If government cared about elk and deer populations, they wouldn’t introduce a non native wolf species to oregon. Cougar population is off the charts and they still don’t allow the use of dogs to hunt cougar. Nothing they do makes sense.

      Handful of other hunters at each trailhead and a few folks scattered about in the mountains. Overall I'd say the hunting pressure was mild to moderate.

    Thats the problem... if your optic loses zero riding in a truck, it is unreliable or something in your set up is unreliable. Quality rings with a quality scope should hold zero under abuse well beyond a truck ride. Ditch the leupold and get a NF lol

    • @StevenDrakePhoto
      @StevenDrakePhoto  ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I hear you but I think it's important that we have a strong # of hunters out in the landscape. Numbers = support. The right to hunt lives in a fragile state that I believe could be voted away someday. Yes more hunters means more competition and potentially less opportunity but for the long term right to hunt I think it's important. I certainly appreciate your feedback though!

    • @edwardabrams4972
      @edwardabrams4972 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s the biggest problem with hunting sometimes it’s only about you and not others! By getting more hunters we also get more power to control hunting in our state which means we hunters get a bigger say in how and where our funds are spent to preserve hunting so we get to go hunting in the future as well! I have been hunting Oregon 60+ years and one of 5 generations that have and are hunting oregon so I have seen just a little of what oregon has gone through over the years😳

    Why do you feel the need to go to a state you don’t live in and drop unit names and show spots like this?

    • @StevenDrakePhoto
      @StevenDrakePhoto  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I believe that hunting could get voted away in our lifetime and the only way to prevent that is to increase the amount of hunters/voices in support of hunting. Knocking down barriers to entry, like this video series is one way. Other ways include taking out a new hunter, voting, participating with state and local groups, conservation efforts, etc. Through these videos series I don't tell people exactly where to go. I want them to work for it as the best things in life are earned. I share the general area they can hunt and help break down the hunting regs, how to draw and give some tips along the way. I've done 10 Anyone's Hunt videos series now, including 3 in my home state.
