Roosevelt elk pressure.

You know it's really interesting there are a lot of interviews that I do with outdoorsman where they are talking to me on their phone in the comfort of there man cave. But then, and a real change of pace, I caught up with outfitter MIKE Jenkins of upfront outfitters.com end it just so happened that he was on an actual hunt in Roosevelt elk Territory which is a western corridor of Oregon in very thick and heavy cover. Furthermore he had positioned his client up in a tree stand waiting for bull to show up that he had seen on his trail cam. MIKE told me that these animals have a lot of pressure but not from where you would expect.

Fortunately for us, we have no wolves in our area, so we don't have to worry about the wolves, at least not yet. And when they do get here, we're going to be in some serious trouble, though, because it's so thick and brushy. I mean, once they get here, they're never going to get rid of them. Our biggest problem that we have now is the bears and the mountain lions. There's not much of a management program to deal with the population control of the predators, even though they allow baiting for deer and elk. It's illegal to bait for bears. Speaker1: That is odd because in Idaho you can bait for bears. Speaker2: Well, one would think that that would make sense. However, Washington and Oregon, they don't seem to see the same picture that the rest of us see. Speaker1: Good reminder to know what's legal or illegal in any state that you're hunting in.
