Well heck, my son drew the unit 18 rifle mule deer tag. Woohoo! Throw in the fact that he drew the Snake River rifle buck tag in OR, he has both shores of Hells Canyon covered. Looks like I’ll be sending my MT combo license back for a refund. I don’t have my bull permit in MT this year, so it doesn’t sting nearly as bad!
keep us posted on that 18 hunt, I saw a very nice buck in there years ago when I had that elk tag, good luck! It’s beautiful backcountry if you guys hunt there.
18 is no where it once was just 5 years ago.This was the first time we didnt apply in 18 this year and found a different unit. After having the tag and hunting it in 2017 I wont be back till deer numbers come up. A buddy had it last year and said the same thing hes done applying there till it rebounds.
