I sat on the sideline the last 2 years because of the price increases but ready to start applying again. So I'm asking for advice on my thought process.
Antelope, 12 NR PPs. My thought is just keep applying for a rifle Warner tag. Seems I'm real close to a second season tag. Is the 2nd season something I should stay away from?
Deer, 12 NR PPs. The choice here is stay in the hunt for a late season muzzy muley tag in another 10 years or so, or apply for the Applegate muzzy with my son who has 6-7PPs and just be done with Oregon deer. Or if the best option is Applegate muzzy, I could apply my son for that hunt this fall. If he draws, we go and I learn it. The next year I'll have 13 PPs and the wife will have 4 so we could probably pull a couple of tags in 2013 and have an idea of where, how to hunt it.
Elk, 10 NR PPs. Not sure here. Stay the course for Mt. Emily archery and hope to draw in the next 5 years, or share the PPs with my son (7) and wife (3) and draw something like the Snake unit?
The antelope and deer options are something I could do probably any year based on the season dates I'm looking at. Elk, I would have to pick a year when I don't have a conflict with other hunts. Most years I'm hunting during late September and late October/early Nov. So I would have to PP other states knowing I could draw Oregon elk.
Any suggestions?
