Oregon Draw 2023

[WapitiBob]

With only 2.5% of the tags available they could at least make it a random draw instead of the preference

If it was me, I'd apply where the outfitters don't so the full 5% would be available. 10% would be better but nr historically only buy about 7%.

That’s the problem with where I grew up everyone wants that Rosie. I just wanna go back and hunt with my buddie

I only applied for a sheep tag once!

I think I just won the mountain goat raffle tag!

My number is below the seed number so the only hunts I’ll be going on is a 100% archery mule deer hunt and a general spike hunt.

Holy cow, I’m looking for pics of the last group I saw. I need to pull the regs out, see what you’re getting into. Cant find the pic of the goats but this is where they were, Hells canyon, south of Hat Point. Idaho Seven devils on the horizon.

I went all in. 17 elk points and 15 deer. gotta get rid of all my points. Was holding out for Wenaha or something special but just cant wait any longer. So I am burning them all. We will see what happens.

Next I gotta get rid of my 12 Pronghorn.

 

[Salmonchaser]

Damn, that’s a lotta points. I spent 18 a couple years ago for elk but never had the patience to hold onto deer points for trout creek. I would like to hunt down there one more time, but at 67 I’m not sure Ive that much time left.
Good luck on the draw.

Well, how did everyone do? Anyone get something surprising?

I’m pretty excited about the deer tag I drew, even though it wasn’t a surprise.

Hope everyone has a good season.

No surprises. Hunting the onx blasted tag as a second.

Well that 100% draw archery mule deer hunt isn’t 100% anymore.

I'll be in the coastal jungle looking for elk in Nov. Taking a buddy on his first elk hunt. And it should be fun! Wife has a tag too, but not sure if she will be able to make the hunt yet.

Rifle.

I haven't hunted archery much the last few years, so there was no way I was going to spend 21 points on an archery hunt. Once this is done, I'm looking forward to a reboot and getting some archery experience.

That is a great tag. The area around the Milk Shakes is a great bet if the weather stays mild. Most overlooked area is Alder Creek going down towards the river, but you better be exercising. Pay particular attention to Alder if it snows hard early. I’ll be looking around this summer up there but only have a spike Tag.
Biggest bull we’ve ever seen was just below Timothy springs last year, Didn’t get a picture of him, probably 350 but had a body as big as a Clydesdale. All Catherine could say was Jeepers.
