Title: Purple Heart deer tag for Oregon anywhere in the state 11/25 to 11/30 need help
Post by: teegansdad on November 07, 2022, 07:54:04 PM
I have a Purple Heart veteran deer tag for Oregon that allows for any buck in any area in the state from 11/25 to 11/30. Anyone offer up any ranch land or ideas where to target a big mule deer

That time of year I would head to the Steens Unit!  Still a few big deer there and that time of year would be an amazing hunt!  Best of luck.

Summer Lake area.....Government Harvey Pass....Bow hunted there and the amount of mulies was astounding...I imagine the rut would be crazy...There is a place at the Summer Lake Hot Springs to stay and hunt out of there..Hart Mountain area too.

 :dunno:

 :chuckle:  I was going to say that we saw an absolute pig his summer in the town of Wallowa but the lake is a bit different. Just go sit in the campground and ring the supper bell

Hart Mountain would probably be worth while. The best advice I could give though is go start looking now in every area possible.  Find a giant and kill him when it opens.

Is it legal to bait with Cheetos... :dunno: :chuckle:

Seriously, best of luck with that tag.  Hope you tag a monster.  Don't forget to come back on and post pictures.  :tup:

I find that Ritz crackers work very well for bait in the campgrounds as well

I had to remove a bag of Cheetos off Hwy 20 a couple summers ago, the doe eating out of the bag had traffic stopped both ways. She walked off the road when I was walking up to it, I put them way off the road so she could finish her junk food smorgasbord.🤣

Nice buck but there is no chance that buck makes 189” with a missing G3

Ya maybe not. We didn't think so either until we watched the videos and really broke him down. My buddy ended up shooting a 183" and this buck was bigger.  :dunno:

he isn't missing a g3, it's just not a normal g3. It's also REALLY long for a g3 :chuckle:

Crooked River Ranch has a huge non typ running around.   I  almost went down to see if I could find it to see it.   I think the going rate for the last two Oregon gov tags was 25K each for private access to shoot a lawn ornament.   Maybe if you show them the purple heart they might knock 10k off.   They are fairly American in that neck of the woods.

Metolius is a good bet. Some archery competetion and tribal pressure but some good benchlegs for sure.

Steens and Juniper migrations have already happened, so probably a ghost town there. 

Some good stuff on the Nevada line.

ODFW should have a feed station going soon in the Starkey, and of course as mentioned Wallowa lake or town of Lagrande probably has some pets

We are interested! We have not had much time to scout and with only a few days to hunt this tag we will take any and all help. This buck would do just fine. Left you a voice mail.

The hunter shot a real nice, dark, heavy 4x4 in some awesome country.  A good time was had by everyone. Hopefully they post a picture on here.  The organization "Outdoors for our Heros" posted it on their Facebook page.

Congrats on a nice buck. If that is the unit I think it is, there are some tanks in there. I have hunted it in the regular season and we went six for six in five days. Three of them were toads.

Great deer, love the mass!  I’ll take 15-20” off a buck to get mass, those thin horned “big” deer are ugly as heck.  Congrats to the hunter and thank ms for your service!!
