Any good shooting, or hunting areas around there? My company is moving me out there from Denver Co, just trying to get as much info about this State, I dont know much about it. Thanks everyone

there is alot of good hunting area in both oregon and washington and from the portland area you could at a range in not more than a hour.I live north of portland and can be at a range 20 minutes and be hunting faster than that.once you get here we can give you more info

Yep, once you get out of the city and all the little cities that run into each other, your out in the country. You have all the area around Mt. Hood and all the area in the Tillimook forest. You have Elk,Bear,Cougar, and Blacktail deer. Then on the other side of the Cascades you have Mule deer and then go south a little ways and you have Prong horns. We even have a tiny herd of White tail down around Roseburg.(Protected) Oregon is a good state really. Income tax sucks but we don't have sales tax yet. I think you will like it once you get out of Portland although for a big city it's nice. Have we got you sold on it yet?

as the other guys said there is alot of hunting around here, if your in good shape the roosevelt elk hunting is excellent in my area which is about 1hr west of portland.

No kidding about being in shape, that is some steep hunting and thick rain forest. Myself I like the High Cascades, more open but still steep but not like the coast range. Everytime I hunt the coast I'm all most sorry. But the deer taste great, better then the Cascade blk Tails.

and alot better tasting than the mulies, I love hunting mulies but they have alot stronger tasting meat.

Yes they do. I haven't hunted them in years. You can find them upon top of the Cascades. The mate with the Blk.Tails and we get those benchlegs. The look like a Blk. Tail but they are the size of a mule deer. If you get a big one you get to score it as a Blk. Tail if you get it on the West side of the PCT.

yeah my wife has killed two big ones up there, i normally hunt the north western border of crater lake park. She killed one with a gross of around 127" and another of 105" and our first year over here she killed a 101".

Good for her! Some one has to keep you medicated but inline!

That's great, good for her. That is not to far from where I hunt. I hunt up around Summit lake, timpinogus, Warms springs butte and have even dropped down to Lomolo lakes area.
