I did not receive a PM...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-13-16 AT 03:45PM (MST)[p]My son has the rifle tag this year also. I had the archery tag there last year and hunted 20+ days. Send me a PM. I can tell you what I know. I live in central oregon. There were a number of central oregon guys that had the archery tag last year...
