[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 99325, member: 1403"] Thanks guys. Yah I would say I had a decent year. We had a really good year on spikes. I think we got 8 or 9 combined for 1st and 2nd season, out of 10 or 11 hunters. One of our better years, thats for sure. We have also been seeing a lot more bears over the last 3 years. It use to be a rarity to see a bear, now its not unusual to see at least 1 when your up there for a couple days. I'm just glad I did not give up on that whitetail. That boy was smart, he crossed the bottom and pretty much went to the whole other side and bedded in the thickest stuff he could find. That thick draw was at least 800 yards long and 150 yards wide. I am just so thankful I found him. I would still be sick to this day to know I wounded a buck like that. I've been putting in for a big bull tag since I was 13. I have 7 points. I'm gettin fed up with Oregons ways of tags. I've had to hunt spikes every year and they are tough. I hunt my butt off every year, and I rarely even see a spike, let alone get a shot.
