Post by: deereman on November 06, 2013, 05:29:56 PM: Nice deer. I think I have a crappy cell phone pic of that deer in my leased field this summer. He was running with another smaller 4 pt and a 3 pt.
Title: Re: Has AnyOne Else Bagged Any Desert Unit Deer?
Post by: splitshot on November 06, 2013, 06:41:10 PM: he had a kicker point that does not show in the pic. I also hope to draw some day, hope it is sooner than later. again it is a tough hunt, walking in sand praying for rain to firm up the sand. we will crack the bottle of Pendleton whisky on the grand ronde sat., flyfishing for steel. mike w

Post by: buckhorn2 on November 06, 2013, 06:49:45 PM: My Desert buck was a nice heavy deer we were lucky we could get the truck up to it would have been hard to drag. Mine was 26 and a quarter wide and I was happy it took me 14 points.
