Upper Deschutes

[Donnie]

IFish Hunters. I need yourhelp. I have a Upper Deschutes Tag this year, for the first time, and know little about the unit. I expect to camp in the south of the Mt. Bachelor area but can be persuaded otherwise. Any help is appreciatted.

im in the same boat as you, although i shot archery, but here is a recent thread. http://www.ifish.net/board/showthread.php?t=156555 hope it helps

You might look around the Wickiup Res. area. I have never hunted deer up there, but seen lots of deer while fishing.

Donnie,

Usually, here on iFish, we like to hear a little bit about you, where you're from, married, kids, good looking or ugly, those kind of things; kind of an ice breaker. Kind of like walking into somebody's camp you don't know and sitting down to tip one back without introducing yourself...just kind of a tradition. So, why don't you toss us a little bio on yerself!

On the hunting around Bachelor, I wouldn't bother. My son and I hunted around that whole area between Bachelor and Sunriver and rarely saw more than a few does.

Rumor has it, from another thread about this very topic a couple of weeks ago, that the south end of the Upper Deschutes Units seems to do better than the middle portion around Bachelor. The northern portion south of Sisters might be decent, but I've not hunted that area.

Like how did you get the name Donnie?

Or tell us about your ability to miss a three point when it is too close.

And just like Bait of Eggs, anyone who knows you knows you married much better than your wife did.



Good luck on your hunt. You'll need it.

I meant that Donnie wears purple socks. But, then again, Hogmasters can wear pretty much anything they want, right?

lots of deer around davis lake,in the burned area

[Martin85]

Just hunt the golf courses around Sunriver along the Little Deschutes, Lots of nice deer and a small heard of elk

[baltz526]

round swamp campground, then hunt the burn on foot should work. the burn is a travel management area, only the main roads are legal for motor traffic. deer will be getting water from the reservoir and davis lake with a couple guzzlers in the burn. walk the closed roads very slow, south of wickiup. if you do this all day you will see bucks. early and late they will be moving, mid day you will catch them bedded near the roads.

But, is there any public land to hunt? I thought all that land along the river was private ground.

I just got back from five days over there. here is the good... elk are starting to bugle. I saw lots of deer. and the bad is the deer didn't have any horns, and I could never get close enough. I never saw am elk. O only heard them. but that was fun.

Where were you Beav? It's a big unit!

[beaverfan]

Not far from the Sunriver area. I was camped at Cow Meadow. I hunted all over that area. The deer I saw and the elk I heard was close to Crane Prairie.
