How much driving is it to get to the different terrains/ types of hunting? Am I looking at a 2hr drive from Portland to hunt elk, upland birds, blacktail? Or more like a week long trip/ across the state/ 8hr drive type thing?

Depends on where your tags are at or if you're hunting a general season. A huge amount of Roosevelt elk are around the coastal range not far from Portland. My friends drive about 20 from home to elk hunt only because they can't legally hunt the ones we see all the time in the country near St. Helens. That's a general hunt. Plenty of elk around.




You can be hunting birds locally or within 2 hours of many choices. It's only an hour east on 84 and it's dry and plenty of birds. Can hunt Ducks around sauvie island which is 15 min from Portland.
