Has anyone luck out with a good tag draw yet this year? I just found out that after five years of applying I got what is called an "additional deer" tag for buck or doe that runs from Sept1 thru Feb 28...it is not a special ML tag but any leagal deer weapon is allowed, so I have in effect a six month smokepole hunt comming up.
 
What did you draw...what do you hunt out there in Oregon...Mule Deer? Black tailed Deer?
 
I got drawn for the doe hunt the end of Nov. Didn't get Elk or anything else this year. Roundball, we have Mule deer, blacktail deer, whitetail deer, elk, bear, turkey, antelope, pheasants, quail, ducks, geese grouse,squirrels, and a lot more. And the fishing, well we got trout, and salmon, and steelhead, and bass, crappie, blue gills, catfish, shad, perch, and a whole mess of salt water fishes too. God's Country out here in Oregon, that's what it is.
 
My tags are for the west side Blacktails, I also drew the ML tag which runs all of Oct, and Nov. it is fairly easy to draw since the state saw a tremendous increase in applicants and limited some of the "technology" that could be used in ML seasons, the applicant level has dropped a lot now that some of the bullets, sights, and powder pellets are not leagal.

Hope that catches on and spreads across the country
 
TOURISTS, TOURISTS we don't need no stinkin' TOURISTS. :haha: :haha: Now how's that for Poster Boy? :: Actually, it is nice here occasionally. If it's not snowing, raining, blowing, too hot, too cold or some other such phenominum of weather. We have a couple weeks a year of real nice weather, they are just spread out over 12 months. :haha: :haha:
 
I checked the DNR site and my applications are listed as received. They won't send them out until the 3rd week of July. I got 2 for regular season ( 1 antlered and 1 antlerless) and 1 for muzzleloader season ( antlerless only). We only have whitetail here.
 
"You could be the poster boy for Oregon Dept of Tourism"

Ya put my face on the poster and most of the people who live here would leave....
 
Yeah, I missread the posts, but together we could empty this state and have it all fer our ownselves ya think?
 
I won't know for a couple of weeks yet. I have put in for Elk in New Mexico. 1st choice; Muzzleloader. 2nd choice; 1st rifle season, 3rd choice; Last rifle season.
I am really interested in hunting Elk with a flintlock and if I get the 1st rifle instead of the ML tag, the flinter is still going along just in case the bulls are still talking and responding.
I have taken several with a centerfire in both NM and Co. and what I really want to do is hunt them with the ML.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the late rut ML tag.
 
Drew a cow elk tag for Colorado's ML season this year so I'll be wondering the hills again this fall for a week or ten days. Sure am envious of the six month tag! I guess that's one good thing about Oregon anyway. The front range of Colorado has been so californicated that it is time for my wife and I to move on. After the last kid is out of school, maybe we'll consider Oregon if we can find a place where the sun shines.
 
"If we can find a place where the sun shines" Sneakon, you are looking for Klamath Falls, Oregon's official City Of Sunshine. That is when it isn't snowing or raining. Actually, we don't get all that much rain, and haven't even got a lot of snow the past few years. That is why we are in this drought situation now. I live about 20 miles east of Klamath Falls, out in the country. We are planning on moving over the mountains to the Roseberg area if we can find a place over there. It rains more over there, but there is some great fishing, and a lot of elk and deer too.
