All good advice, but how expensive is a lease? What's the average price? How much does that come out to per pound of harvested venison?

Way too expensive imo. Its a rich mans hobby in Texas unless you have access to private land through family or a friend

I was born and raised in Corpus! I just have family in Oregon lol so that's where I hunted lol

I wouldn't hunt the Westside if you gave it to me. And dem peoples need to stay over there and not come trashin up my woods with their dumbass ideas and rainbow shirts and sandals. LOL

 

[bbbass]

Yes it is.

Sweet home is also a place where couples look related.

Like Elgin on the East side.

Elgin foreplay: "Git in the truck, Bitch!!"

So I get to keep my man card?

Hey, I have friends in Drain!

You ever fish the Umpqua for smallmouth bass? The put-in at Elkton is a hoot in my 18' drift boat!! The sides of the channel are 1' from the side of the boat. Oars have to be lifted to miss the rocks. No mistakes...

Heh I wont get into that, but for me it makes more sense to hunt elsewhere. I miss hunting in south Texas dearly but Id rather spend my money overseas or in a different state

This. I can hunt Arkansas for $525 per year for my lease ( 1200 acres with 9 other hunters) and $350 for my out of state license.

I can shoot a nilgai bull in Texas for $2300 that will yield more meat than any 5 deer I could shoot in Texas on a $5000 per year lease ( and I don’t have to do anything after the stalk and trigger pulling on the nilgai)

Id like an in on your nilgai hunt outfitter if at all possible

Also if someone on that deer lease drops out, let me know!

60-90 fish an hour in the summer is not uncommon east of Elkton. The shad run is great on the Big-K loop. Springers were fun on slow rolling anchovy, but fall salmon on plugs was the thrill.

Unlike the Rogue or Willamette, every rock on the Umpqua is anchored to the earth’s core.

Are you a Tomaslli’s or an Arlene’s guy?

Fished most weekends from my North River. Reedsport, Winchester Bay, Florence, but could walk down to the river before and after work to fish the shoreline.

Fu@k Portland for ruining that state.

A LEASE OR HUNTING PRIVATE LAND YOU CAL HAVE FOOD PLOTS FEEDERS AND LEAVE YOUR DEER STANDS WHICH YOU CAN'T DO ON PUBLIC LAND

 

[paknheat]

Find a day hunt in your area. You have to pay to play.

I use places like this on occasion. Last one I went to I zapped a real big red deer hind.

Brought home a lot of meat. The hunt + lodging cost me about $750-800.

We put in at Elkton, so our fishing would have been "west" of there, (we fished for cutthroat and rainbow above there) but yes 60-90 or more smallmouth per hour. We used small twister tail grubs on light gear. Never fished for shad there, but they had them in N. Carolina when I was stationed there in '77. Are shad good eating? Fished for springers on the Rogue when we lived in Brookings '87-'93, never caught one.. not my thing I guess. Had lot's of luck with fall salmon on anchovie, eggs, plugs, you name it. Both in the ocean and on the Chetco and Rogue. My fav. Caught a 40" female on the Winchuck in the estuary on a Jed Davis 5/0 silver spinner with red tubing on the shank and a red stripe under the blade.

Brookings was fab back then. I was able to drift the river in season cuz my bozz allowed me to come to work at noon or so when I wanted some comp time. All fishing was close by. And we used to float/tube the Chetco to get cool in the summer. Good times. We drifted the Illinois quite a bit too.

Tomaslli's or Arlene's??? (I've used Thomas spoons for trout, but I'm a Jed Davis spinner guy mostly.)

Not just Portland, but Salem/Eugene/etc. Fuggin Cali's destroyed this state. And we are feeling it on the East side too now. Homeless everywhere. We'd move to Boise but with all the medical problems we have we're pretty much stuck. 'sides, ID is changing too. I think everywhere is in jeopardy. No place safe from the Marxist ideologues anymore.
