[QUOTE="wboregon, post: 1470878, member: 102916"] Check out the Oregon Minam unit hunts, there's quite a few guide outfits that guide with horse trains up there and Minam should be a near guaranteed draw with out any points required (it is for residents that's for sure) First season has better weather, but the elk are typically much deeper in the mountains, which really isn't a problem for a guided hunt on horse back as you can get way further in than any one on foot. Second season has higher success rates, because the elk tend to come out of the high elevations when the snow starts to set in, we hunted first season on foot and some of the locals sympathized with us that we had made a mistake and said that they all prefer to hunt second season as the elk are easier to find when they get pushed out of the deep wilderness. I believe last year was 14% for first season and 22% for second Since the Minam unit is squarely in the eagle cap wilderness (some of the unit extends outside the wilderness, but these areas are way over hunted by your normal folks who don't wan to hike or who don't have horses) there is no motor vehicle or even wheeled vehicle access, so there are a lot fewer people deep in the unit than just about any other oregon unit. here's a link to the oregon stats for 2017 and 2016 harvests - [URL]https://myodfw.com/articles/big-game-hunting-harvest-statistics[/URL] [/QUOTE]
