Nice job Santiam. Nice bucks and a lot of hard work for you to get them.
I love NE Oregon.

I grew up in La Grande and left in 1964 when my dad's job took him to Ohio. Our last mule deer hunt was in the Eagle Cap Wilderness that year. The memories are as vivid today as they were back then. Every summer we'd camp for a week on the Lostine River. I was a blessed child.
