Top 25 Public-Land Elk Hunts
This state-by-state guide to the best public-land elk hunts in America includes information on specific units, tags requirements, and deadlines.
Scott Bestul
Oregon hosts two subspecies of elk (Roosevelt and Yellowstone) and is one of the few states offering over the counter tags. For the latter, look into these areas:
23. The Murderer's Creek Unit is a well-known elk hangout and offers good access, thanks to the Malheur National Forest and BLM lands.
24. The Sled Springs Unit, a good area which has traditionally been OTC, has recently gone to a draw-only unit. The limited access could mean nicer bulls here in the future.
25. The Minam Unit in Wallowa-Whitman National Forest is an additional hotspot for archery bulls during the rut.
Licenses and Tags: Contact Oregon Dept. of Fish & Wildlife, 503-872-5260; dfw.state.or.us.
