Oregon Walla Walla Spike Hunting

[biednick]

I started putting in for a couple of Oregon tags this year since a close friend recently moved out there. I wasn't paying close enough attention when I applied, and instead of applying for a Walla Walla bull elk tag (which I never would have drawn) I applied for a spike tag (which has 100% draw odds). Thankfully I didn't have any points that were wasted. Now I have a tag I'm not sure if I should bother using. If I decide to go I'll have 5 days at the beginning of November to bag an elk. I'd like to hear any thoughts or experiences others have had in the area regarding spike hunting. It seems like success rates tend to be low, but I'm not sure if that correlates with opportunity rate or not.

There are elk up there just no deer. The wolves and cougars are decimating the big game in Eastern Oregon. I drew my Wenaha big bull tag with 22 points and I won't be putting in for North East oregon again now that I've drawn. Good luck!
