We hunt east of Goldendale, east of highway 97 on some private land. Sometimes we hunt 3 creeks too.

Where east of Goldendale? My family owns land by Rock Creek, Oak Flat Road and also some land on the Columbia Hills above the John Day Dam.

Great bucks nonetheless. I've hunted goldendale area since...forever. I've seen a boxey 26inch 4x4 muley-looking buck and a smaller 3pt with points coming off the main beam blacktail looking deer in the same push down there. They are a mix, with different characteristics showing up. But who cares, dang nice deer. Check out the post titled "buddies buck from this and his last years buck." Both are from the same area way west of highway 97 and they look totally different. They both had skinny mule deer like tails with black on them, and the racks...anyones guess.

I checked out those deer. Man, they are nice. The area in the 2nd picture looks familiar.
