Who drew the late Blue Mountains units quality buck permits this year?
I see a couple of the permit holders at least are members on here.
I struck out this year.

No, there's buck tags and then there's the late rifle quality tags. At first in 2010, most of them were just mule deer permits, now they've added whitetails to them and made a lot of them 3 pt. minimum whitetail or muley.
See my avatar pic. I drew Tucannon the 1st year they offered it in 2010.

Can you repost the picture of your buck jackelope? I can't click on it to make it bigger. It appears to have a mondo sized body, assuming you are not a small guy

Here's a pic of my buck from 2010.
Hope to hear from any of the Blues tag holders.
I always look forward to see what these permits will drum up every year.

Ya know, pathfinder I saw that picture before and just from looking at how the antlers were and the background I was almost positive that was a late blues whitetail. Glad to finally know for sure. My dad got a 6x4 four years ago. We both got it this year. I'm so jacked up for november!!!!!

I drew the Blue Mountains West late rifle permit this year. I'm not familiar with the area so I would love any info in regards to where I should focus my efforts and help with landowner access.
Beautiful Muley by the way.

I have hunted the Blues for many many years and takin several bucks. But it has always been in Sept archery hunting. I have hunted in the late hunt Nov. but never EVER have I seen that good of bucks. Infact if I seen a legal buck it was a whitetail and not big at all. See 100s of does and a few 2 points but thats it. I mainly hunted the Toucannon and Murango areas.
