Oregon Canyon Creek Traditional Only Elk hunt?

[AndyTheCornbread]

Did anyone hunt the traditional only Canyon Creek hunt this year? If you did how was it? What is it like over there? I was thinking about going and taking a look at it next year. Is it even worth scouting it?

[WINDTALKER]

Well I was supposed to this year but was swindled into working at the mother-in-law's during opening week. Rumor has it though from my friends its the place to go. I've got a coyote hunt planned later this year over that way hopefully I can make time to scout the area because come hell or mother-in-law I'm going next season

I have heard from someone who lives over that way that you have to get on the elk early or they head right for the ranches and safety.

I have heard about the same thing as Snag.  Also they really pick up and run when someone blows on a bugle.  Do some scouting, very nice country.

Do you guys know if we can deer hunt in there at that time and if we can are there any deer in there?

[snag]

Andy, yes you can hunt bucks during the same time as the trad. elk is on. But the deer population is not good. I don't think you should expect to see really good numbers or quality of bucks in there.
