Know people that have hunted it hard on tags the last few years. Deer are scarce. They're much better units for 5 points. "~Who says deer don't eat Berger's???"

You guys have gotten some awesome footage this year! Mike "~Who says deer don't eat Berger's???"

Sorry it took me so long to find this thread K! That's a monster 3 point... definitely would've sent a berger his way had I seen him! :) Headed out in the morning for a weekend of chasing bucks hopefully like him! Mike "~Who says deer don't eat Berger's???"

Seek Outside LBO 19 oz Big Agnes Q-core SL pad 18 oz Seek Outside Draft Dodge quilt 20* 23 oz Borah Gear M90 side zip bivy 7 oz. Total: 4.18 lbs for my entire shelter/sleep system. Had it down to a verified 20.8* and didn't get cold. Had to wake up and put a hat on though... Got about 15...

Lot of hunters and lots of road hunters. Get more than 2+ miles from any fourwheeler accessible road and you'll likely be alone! Still some mature bucks in there from what I hear even with some bad winter kills. I have no specific areas to point you too sorry man and good luck. Mike "~Who...

Man you don't see those units produce bucks like that very often anymore! Great job! That's not easy country to hunt... Mike "~Who says deer don't eat Berger's???"

I have a Cabelas Wool Sweater with Windshear that I haven't any use for. Got it last Christmas as a present, size large and in like new condition. If you're interested I'd be more n willing to sell it to you. Send me a PM if interested. Mike "~Who says deer don't eat Berger's???"

Am I right in assuming that 2nd/3rd/4th choice selections aren't biased towards residents or non residents? IE: If it even reaches 2nd choice, then everyone is treated equally? Mike "~Who says deer don't eat Berger's???"

I like Idaho's draw system... only way I'd want it to change would be to go to Colorado's draw system with points only units. Non of this middle ground BS, but alas IDFG is too lazy and doesn't have the management skills to go to an all point system so lets keep it the way it is. My .02...

Love that country... We were across the river from you with two buck tags this year. Passed on a lot of bucks but never found the "one" or in this case "two"! Nasty fun country ain't it?! :) Mike "~Who says deer don't eat Berger's???"

I was wondering why the archery opener got pushed back to Aug 31... Mike "~Who says deer don't eat Berger's???"

Almost 100% of early season archery hunts got pushed back to August 31 instead of Aug 25th... Kind of sucks and is changing my plans a bit for this season! Mike "~Who says deer don't eat Berger's???"

PM sent thank you! "~Who says deer don't eat Berger's???"

Arrow, PM sent, thank you. Mike "~Who says deer don't eat Berger's???"

Thanks canyonman, one right back at you! :) Mike "~Who says deer don't eat Berger's???"

LAST EDITED ON Jan-18-13 AT 02:06PM (MST)[p]Been doing a lot of research, talked with bio, and would like to PM somebody about some questions I have. Would rather not talk on the open forums. Can swap info for WA or ID Muleys if you're interested... Thanks! Mike "~Who says deer don't eat...

Well.... how's the elk hunting?? "~Who says deer don't eat Berger's???"

Thats not bad advice and I appreciate the input! I saw more elk around there than I did muleys in 2010 that is for sure. But the more I hunt the more I'm wanting to focus on muleys as they are my passion. Got a few points built up in Colorado too which might get cashed in this year. I just...

Hi OR crowd! Had a few things happen recently and they have resulted in an opportunity to move down to John Day possibly. I worked there for the USFS as a summer college intern a few years back so I'm familiar with the town, but never really got out to find any animals that summer. I've been...

Juniper in the background with bitterbrush...?? If I had to guess I'd say SW corner of the state but who really knows? Gagger buck either way! Mike "~Who says deer don't eat Berger's???"

Great buck man and not even a bad buck for 11! Lot of smaller bucks shot on that tag every year... "~Who says deer don't eat Berger's???"

Nice work! Were you solo?? Mike

Nice bull congrats! Mike

I like to think that choosing A vs. B tags and choosing zones reduces pressure in all units... I know how the OP feels with fuel charges but thats the price you pay. Maybe give up a few scouting trips and try taking a more fuel efficient vehicle down south to meet your family then hop in the...

Great job! Mike

Thank you! Got him all boiled and cleaned up! Still gotta do a final whitening on him though... Mike

Justin, I'm sure I was quite the sight thats for sure... If I would've gotten him during the morning I would've taken time to bust out the tripod and get a picture of me with the head/cape on my pack on the bike but I was whipped at 1:45 AM when I finally got everything back to camp! Next...

Thanks BPK! Yeah he is for sure caped and the cape is in the freezer right now... Good friend of mine is a newer taxidermist but I've seen his mounts and they are GOOD but he's in the middle of setting up his shop right now so won't be able to take it in for a month or two. I am debating on...

So to preface this, I have a history of making short stories long! I also want to say my hunting partner and I have been hunting together since 2009 and it has been a wild ride. We've killed deer, bear, elk, turkeys, wolf, and a few coyotes together and do a lot of shooting together. He was...

Very nice! How far was your pack out??? Mike

Welcome to the forum! Don't judge too harshly, people will start relaxing once archery season opens on the 30th... ;) Mike

Wasn't there a fire around there 5 years back or so??? Mike

Man I'm usually not one to hop on the grammar-police wagon but your paragraphs are down-right hard to read... Doesn't speak well for you not wanting her in office. I don't know her or anything about her, but I'd take a small business owner than a lot of commissioners I've seen out there. Just...

If you're in the panhandle... unit 11 is a bit closer to you and there are some once in a lifetime deer in there as well! Little tougher terrain to hunt than 45 however... Mike

It really depends on your own hunting style and how good of a caller the hunter is. I personally like pre-rut as the bulls are mobile and are still relatively social at that time. They seem to be easier to call in for myself. During the rut its hard to pull them big bulls off the cows unless...

Learn how to speak Elk and don't be afraid to drop/climb 1k'+ in elevation to get to where the elk are! Should be a good hunt for you guys! Mike

Thanks Nick! Mike
