Hello,
I haven't hunted deer since high school, having spent my hunting time on elk and jack rabbits. (I wanted to make sure we all know I didn't just buy a rifle to see what hunting is like the shmuck in Cain R's "Bush Moron" thread.)
This year I couldn't go elk hunting so I decided to go deer hunting instead. I live pretty close to the Coast Range in Western OR so I can go out on weekends and not take any vacation. (that I don't have any more of anyway.)
Finally to the question. How do you guys hunt deer in NW Oregon? The season opened today and I got out this afternoon and sat for a couple hours in one place, then found another place to sit until it was almost dark. When I was younger, the folks I hunted with would wander around one area for a little bit, then drive somewhere else, wander, drive, wander, drive. I spent as much time in the van as out in the woods. I'm not sure that is the best way to do this.
Do you still hunt, sit and glass, road hunt, or ???? I am hunting in the area North of Grand Ronde Oregon on land owned by a lumber company.
Please, enlighten me O Wise One's.
