Hunters discussing Oregon's Unit 34 in the Upper Deschutes emphasize the importance of understanding the mix of terrain, which includes both dense forest and open meadow areas. The unit provides decent draw odds, but success rates can vary, highlighting the necessity to scout thoroughly and be prepared for different hunting conditions. Insights suggest that the game in this unit can be wary, with elk and deer displaying keen awareness of hunters' movements due to the high hunting pressure. Hunters recommend early season scouting trips and remaining adaptable to changing conditions and potential game behavior shifts.
