This coastal unit, which is from Tillamook Bay south to Lincoln City and west of McMinnville and Forest Grove, is home to Roosevelt elk and Columbia blacktail deer. General deer and elk tags are sold over the counter for rifle and bowhunting.
Terrain varies from coastal flats, farmland, pastures and clearcuts to forested mountains, hills and urbanized areas. Hunting pressure is heavy, but a few bull elk and buck deer manage to live long enough to grow impressive racks.
Quick Tips
- Be prepared for hunting in dense timber
- Get permission to hunt on private land for more solitude
- Bow and shotgun hunting only in Cascade Head-Lincoln City area
