OK
I can agree with that. I have killed a few bucks in the White River unit and they were all blacktails.
But from Multnomah Falls South they put the blacktail in a different category for the B & C book.

Oregon ? Beginning at Multnomah Falls on the Columbia River, the boundary runs south along the western boundary of the National Forest to Tiller in Douglas County, then south along Highway 227 to Highway 62 at Trail, then south following Highway 62 to Medford, from which the boundary follows the range line between R1W and R2W, Willamette Meridian, to the California border.
Here a couple from the past.
I drew the tag again this year and hopefully fill the tag again.
