They should never have been increased a few years ago to begin with, I'd like to see them reduced even more. :twocents:

No watershed Buck tags? Dang.

Did anyone ever take a quality buck out of that unit? From what I heard it was a very hard hunt.

I found some big mule deer sheds in there last year and saw some big deer on the Oregon side. I think there should be some big ones in there.

All of the Blues units have "some" big deer but there are very few relative to other areas of the state.
