Anyone have any updates on early rifle or the first week of late rifle? Headed down to 131-134 tomorrow morning to hunt the last week of the hunt. I have a few places in mind from the biologist but I think it's the same information I've seen elsewhere that most of the deer are near the highway this time of year migrating to 132.I just got back from 132, hunting was poor for mature deer. Many bucks spotted but nothing good.
So far its been slim pickings. We didn't see a single deer the first two days but we were checking some of the northern parts of the unit and it seemed like most of the deer already migrated. I finally located some does in the southern portion of the unit tonight. 2 small bucks were nearby but no bucks with any of the does. Anyone have any ideas where the bucks hang out this time of year?Good luck OR and keep us posted!

Sounds like you need to go farther south. If your are hunting near highway 6 you probably won’t see many deer. Most of the deer have moved more south by now. I would be looking about 25-30 miles south of the highway 6 if that helps.So far its been slim pickings.

That helps a lot and confirms what we've been seeing. Lots of does on the private ag fields at the 6 /318 junction but no decent bucks even.Sounds like you need to go farther south.
