OR Elk Unit GRIZZLY — Grizzly

# OR GRIZZLY — Grizzly Elk (LIMITED DRAW) ## Terrain & Access This large unit (1.08M acres) spans 1,250–6,200 ft elevation with only 29% public land—meaning 71% is private or inaccessible. Forum reports indicate elk are fragmented into small groups rather than concentrated herds, and burned-over wilderness areas hold few animals. Expect mixed terrain with pockets of elk rather than consistent populations. ## Herd Quality Bull:cow ratios are **weak**. Recent surveys show 8–10:100 (well below the 20–25:100 range that supports quality hunts). The 2022–2021 data showing 19:100 are flagged as likely small survey artifacts—trust the 3-year average of ~9:100 instead....
