OR Pronghorn Unit SILVIES — Silvies

Silvies Unit — Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access Silvies spans 3,900–7,100 ft of elevation across high-desert and transitional terrain in south-central Oregon. Nearly 72% public land provides solid access, though the topography—rocky benches, sage flats, and scattered juniper—demands careful vehicle preparation; hunters report rough roads in certain drainages. The elevation range supports both lower pronghorn country and higher-elevation mule deer habitat, though this unit targets pronghorn as its primary draw. Herd Quality Recent wildlife surveys indicate an above-average buck:doe ratio of 36:100, signaling a well-balanced pronghorn herd with reasonable numbers of mature males relative to doe population..
