AD UPDATE!!
Brian Campbell and the folks at Birch Creek Guide Service have some hunts available right now for those of you thinking about bucks and bulls in Oregon.
2 Murders Creek Guided Archery Bull Hunts with unit wide outfitter tags available. The archery hunts are 7 day hunts with food and lodging included and the dates I have available are 9/2 - 9/8 and 9/25 - 10/1. The price on those hunts is $4,500.00 each, not including tags or license, and I do have 2 outfitter tags available for that.
2 Northside Rifle Bull Tags available as well. The two rifle bull hunts I have are both 5 day guided rifle bull hunts that run from 11/1 - 11/5, and the price on those hunts are $5,500.00 each, including outfitter tags and access to 2,500 acres of good quality private property, but excludes food and lodging. There is a motel only 9 miles away from the ranch in the town of Monument plus numerous Airbnb's also close to the ranch. Again, these are also outfitter tags, so we are not limited to only hunting private property.
What to expect
Archery: Both Northside and Murders Creek archery hunts are strenuous hunts. Hunters need to be in relatively good shape for these hunts, not necessarily climb Mount Everest shape, but be able to cover some miles by foot, day in and day out. Hunters should plan on the possibility of spike camping out. Many times during the archery hunts, we can end up on bulls right up to dark, and be miles in from any road. In situations like this, it makes more sense to overnight it at our current location, and start back after the bulls first thing the following morning vs hiking all the way out, then all the way back in. Lodging for archery season is a tent camp accommodation.
Rifle hunts:The rifle hunts are not as strenuous as the archery hunts. We will still cover some miles on foot, but we spend a lot of time sitting and glassing until we find an animal big enough to go after. For both elk and mule deer hunts, we always try to find the oldest, most mature animals we can find, but at the end of the day, if we find a younger animal that the client is happy with, then that's what we will try to harvest. There are consistently mule deer bucks in the 160+ range, and bulls in the 300+ range harvested in the Murders creek unit. Through a large amount of time spent preseason scouting, we'll do everything in our power to find animals of these calibers. Lodging for both the deer and elk rifle hunts are also tent camp accommodations.
