Oregon Premium Deer MALHEUR RIVER (L66)

I drew this tag this year and I am pumped to be able to take my 300 RUM out during the rut. I have hunted this unit before, mostly above the town of Juntura and we have seen some great bucks there. I got a decent 4x3 last year. I was wondering if anyone has had some experience in that area during November? Thoughts on wintering grounds and what not. Any thoughts/advice are much appreciated!

Might head out this weekend, but not 100% sure yet. For sure going Veterans Day weekend and thanks giving break. I have 12 days scheduled and will for sure post a pict when I get something!

Nice! Congratulations. I'll definitely put some more money on them next year.
How far was the shot?
