Thanks! Yeah, it's not a high-percentage tag, but as a 2nd choice it's got some good qualities (we still get a preference point in Oregon if we get a 2nd or 3rd choice tag).
I think Santiam hunts the central part of things and has had success. Maybe he will see this.
I did kill a benchleg (blacktail/mule deer hybrid) up above Cougar Res getting towards the PCT. Neat-looking deer! Looong body.
Hopefully ODFW will send out unit maps like in years past so I can stare at the thing. The hunt description in the book is complex. I'm just looking forward to getting into some new country way up high.
