Title: Dayton 162 info.
Post by: huntandjeep on October 11, 2017, 06:22:47 PM: My 11 year old Nephew drew the Whitetail doe tag down there from Nov 9th - 19th. His dad and I have never hunted down there so we are both not sure what to expect. Looking at Onx it looks like the South end of the unit has more opportunity with the Umatilla Nat forest , and the Rainwater wildlife area . We're planning on going down next weekend to check things out . Are we on the right track ?

Thanks Allen.

Looking at Onx the Rainwater area runs all the way south in 162. If we went lower than that we would be in the Milk Creek watershed GMU..

And you can kill a deer on Rainwater.
Good Luck.
