Usually get a decent one every couple/few years. There are good bucks around but you've got to work for them. Lots of miles, though big canyons. Just like elk hunting show up in shape and you'll up your odds. Bench Leg Pure breds Bench Leg Cougar kill pure bred [img] http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l198/Rogue280/BanryCamp2006054.jpg[/img]

Nice shed. That's somewhere around a 140-class typical main-frame buck. Would love to see the matching antler on that deer. That's certainly a wonderful Columbian deer.

We spent an amazing amount of time looking for the other side. I don't think he was killed this past year when I was in Iraq. Still some hope to put him on the ground.

Mike,
best of luck to you and the family for this season...
only taking 2 boys out this season, so I might actually get in some more hunting time myself this year...
will start out with a 260 for opening morning...

Lots of public land in Oregon and lots of Blacktail. Most of the pressure is close to roads so if you do some walking, especially during the week, rather than the weekend, you can have lots of territory to yourself. I've seen some really big Blacktail bucks between Ashland and Klamath Falls.

Won't get to do as much rifle hunting as most years because of work. Did see a few smaller bucks this weekend but no early season shooters.
I did see a federal 260 Rem case lying in an old log road.
Some decent bucks anywhere a spotlight won't hit from a roadway.
