If you have the pionts already it might be a fun hunt just to see the country with a slight chance at a nice buck.
If the trend in OR was improving I'd say if it were me I'd hold out. that really isn't the case. we haven't has a deer killer winter since 92/93 and when we do get one the mule deer will be on the ESA in Oregon.
I didn't spend much time down there the last 2 years because the chuckar numbers have been so low but I can tell you the number of quality bucks I've seen in NOV DEC and JAN in the Steens , Trout Creeks and Pueblos is depressing.
Stay thirsty my friends
