|
So my coworker and i have been hunting around here for a few seasons and haven"t seen squat. Last year we mainly hunted around the Alsea area, up Honey Grove Road, where he said in the past he's gotten several deer out of. This year we went up to Green Peter on opening weekend, saw several people with deer hanging but didn't see any ourselves. Saturday we went up Honey Grove again and didn't see anything, no deer, no sign, no trails.
Anyone know of any good places to go around here? I read another post from an OSU student, and someone mentioned going up to Valsetz, which we might try this weekend, but I was curious if anyone else had any pointers or areas to hunt. |

Welcome to BGH!
I lived in Valsetz in the early 70's. It was good hunting but just like the rest of western Oregon, can't see very far and rains a lot. Don't pass on Black Rock either. Hunted it in high school. There's lot's of deer over there the hard part is seeing them. We lived up on Fishback Rd out of Monmouth when I was young and we'd see lots of deer there at night. Durning the day they were plenty hard to find because of all the brush. Not sure where any logging is going on over there anymore but clearcuts a year or so old used to be good spots.
watch the edges, that's where they traveled. The thing that draws them to clear cuts like that is the new growth of forage.
Good luck! |
