Hi there all!
I moved a year ago from upstate NY to Portland, OR. I have limited hunting experience (2 seasons), and had not lived in OR long enough to qualify for resident prices last year, but would love to do some big-game hunting this fall. I'd love to have an opportunity to get a deer or elk and fill my freezer. I am willing and able to travel up to a couple hours from Portland.
What I'd like is some advice on public or open private land where I could go with some likelihood of finding such game. (Or, if some generous person here wants to give a young man the time of his life and make some of their private land available, that would be really sweet.) I have a scoped, bolt-action .30-06 and an iron-sighted lever-action .30-30, and will have to use one or both of those if that influences anyone's suggestions.
What are people's recommendations?
Josh
