Dad and I are leaving tomorrow mourning at 3am, headed to eastern oregon for some mule deer hunting.  I'll be home by the 10th, hopefully with a lot of pics.

Good luck! Used to hunt the Heppner/Ukiah units for deer, just not seeing near as many on our place anymore. Just a lot of elk, and now starting to see whitetail

We're back.  Had some truck problems on the trip and had to cut the trip short.  Ended up killing the next two bucks we saw after we had the truck problems and had decieded that we were heading home in the mourning.  Dad got a little 3x4 and i got a 2x2.  Only saw a couple ok bucks. One was a nice 4x4 about 24" wide and the other was a 3x4 that was about as wide.  They were together on another ridge and we were watching them through the spotter, coming up with a plan to get after them in the mourning since it was almost dark.  I let my dad look through the spotter at them and he said they spoked.  Then we heard the shot.  Someone shot the 4x4 while we were looking at them.     All in all it was a good trip.  The only part that wasn't fun was the 85 degree temps opening day.  I'll get some pics up later.  Maybe tonight.  I'll also post some pics of some bucks that were head mounted in a little store we stopped to get fuel at one day.

Here are the bucks we got.

Here is a buck that was hanging in a store.  The guy shot it last year.

Here is another one that was in the store.  I couldn't get very good pics of these deer because the store was so small I had to almost stand right under them.

And another.

Can you say eye guards?

[Bigshooter]

This pic doesn't do this buck justice.  He goes over 180 easy.

[Bigshooter]

Here is a different angle on that first buck.

[Bigshooter]

All of the animals in the store had been shot by the husband and wife that ran the store.  I believe they said everything had been shot in the last 15 years.
