I drew my Oregon tag!

[Skimbleshanks]

I drew my Oregon tag this year! Im taking my 30-06 with 175 Bergers or my 7 mag with 168 Bergers. And it isn't even a question. I don't care what one I take. The day will come and I will grab one and go. They are both in the same category right? Honestly a 400+ yard shot at an animal would need the weather/wind to be very consistent for me to squeeze. I can't see a difference.

Congratulations! I'm going into next year with 21 points so we will see if it happens for me next year. Best of luck.

I didn't have that many points. But I'm an OR resident. Im looking forward to some scouting trips and taking my 4 year old son out a bit before the season.

I must have missed it but what unit did you get?

Congratulations. We drew the N Malheur cow tag again. Hunting over Thanksgiving week in the snow. ;-)

Exactly which Oregon tag are you referring to?

Its a shame that with 20 points you didn't draw this year, assuming you are putting in for Mt. Emily, Wenaha or Walla Walla. My hunting partner and I decided about 8 years ago to stop chasing the big 3 and try and do a "decent" hunt every 3-6 years. We drew the tag we wanted this year, and hope for a pretty good hunt and feel our odds are pretty fair considering our draw. Think we got the tag just in time as from what I hear the wolves are getting worse and worse where we are going.

Cool, my hunting partner used to hunt that unit for archery. Good luck!

What critter?

That's awesome congrats. I hope you are successful. I drew my snake river second season elk tag this year so I totally understand your excitement.

IMO: Take both in case one goes belly up. Since you said you are an Oregon resident, it shouldn't be a problem taking both?
