I'm a Stewardship Forester with the Oregon Department of Forestry. Forestry has been good to me over the last 24 years and I've seen and found a lot of neat things over the years. Being very involved...

I'm considering the same hunts but vehicle travel into Unit 27 could be a gamble in November? If I go, I'll probaly leave the horse trailor and horses @ home.

Thats what I figured. I thought maybe they kept the road plowed open down to the mines and those ranches along the way?

I've been on MM for a number of years but decided to join this site as well. Seems a little more low keyed which I like. I hunt mule deer out-of state every year and play the point system game where...

I've hunted "F" the last two years and done well. I would caution you about the bears, they're nothing to joke around with. I've had issues both times, but it was only after I killed a buck.
