HEPPNER UNIT PUBLIC LAND​
​
This hunt takes place in the Heppner GMU in eastern Oregon. We operate under a special use permit allowing us to guide on public lands in the Heppner Ranger District of the Umatilla National Forest. The Heppner Unit is one of the most applied for hunting units in the state for rifle bull elk hunting, issuing about 700 tags a year to over 3,000 applicants.
​
It is a tough tag to draw as a non-resident taking about 4 years of applying before drawing the tag. The hunt offered is only available to non-Oregon residents and the tag is guaranteed. For 2021 there will be a total of 4 hunters in camp. The terrain in the area is mountains with pine forests, along with some steep canyons. Expect to hike 8-10 miles a day. This hunt is fully outfitted with 2 hunters per 1 guide. Lodging is in heated canvas wall tents with good hot meals prepared by our full time chef and camp host. Plan on arriving the day prior to the hunt season and leaving the day after. The license and tag fees are in addition to the hunt cost.
MURDERERS CREEK
​
Some of the area’s rankest bulls have come from the Murderers Creek GMU. We have private land that borders very hard to reach public lands which lie at the base of the Aldrich Mountains. Some of the largest bulls we harvest dome from this hunt. We only offer between 2-4 hunts each year in the Murderers Creek unit. You must be in good physical condition as more often than not, the animals are brought out on pack boards.
