I posted this on the Sheep/Antelope page also but since I'm asking about Oregon I thought I'd try here also.
Anyway, after 11 years of trying to draw I was lucky this year to get a tag - I guess. I've got the maps down for the unit and went over to the unit this last weekend for my fist scouting trip. Well it wasn't that great. In about 60 miles of bad gravel roads and looking into everyhting we could we only saw 6 antelope - all does.
So my question is - do you start to see more antelope - bucks particular later as the season gets closer? Also, the unit seems to have a lot of tall sage - how the heck do you hunt in that stuff - or do you just try and hunt the grass/lower sage? Sorry for the dumb questions but I'm trying to make the most of my tag since it will be awhile before I draw again, already been told that because its so dry this year the antelope may have moved out of the unit in search of water!!! Anyway, any advise is appreciated.
Thanks
