OR Mule Deer Unit SCAPPOOSE — Scappoose

OR SCAPPOOSE — Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access Scappoose spans low elevations (0–2,268 ft) across 480,000 acres in northwest Oregon's coastal and valley terrain. Public land access is severely limited at 10.7%, making this a challenging hunt for those without private-land relationships. The low elevation means varied habitat—a mix of timber, brush, and open country—but the scarcity of public ground concentrates hunting pressure and limits your flexibility to relocate if an area is crowded or unproductive. Herd Quality Recent wildlife surveys show a below-average buck:doe ratio of 17:100, indicating moderate harvest pressure or naturally skewed sex structure..
