So like many I am stuck in the Oregon draw game for elk, too far in to quit but still a ways from drawing the unit we wanted to hunt with the points creep. Mt Emily bow hunt was what we were after and with ten points we are still a few years off depending on how people keep jumping around and the reports of the quality there aren't real inspiring and the fact that we could never draw it as a party of two and hunt togethor is another downer. So in looking at some other options in the same points range the Powers unit on the westside is managed as a trophy unit with limited tags and not the spike hunters you would have on the eastside. I live on the coast so I know the habitat/brush difference of the westside but what is the trophy quality in the unit and if a guy puts in his time is a 300 inch roosey a descent goal for the hunt? I have a big rocky mt bull on the wall and would love a roosey but hate to waste my points so any input would be awesome. I'm not a big fan of chasing elk through logged off units and prefer some backcountry and bulls that you can call so with that said what do you think. Tks nwhunter
