[DeerAddiction4]

Anybody seen any bucks come out of there this year? Got a buddy who has the rifle tag so hoping somebody knows where there’s a giant lol?

Have the archery tag I’ll I can say Is good luck

I wouldn't expect much. Nice deer (170+) are not as common out there as they used to be. Not saying that there isn't a few out there but it's really not even close to what it was.

 

[Muleman1]

I never even saw anything close to a 170 buck

To be honest it would of been tough getting a dinky 4 point just no deer

 

[Weiserbucks]

I know a few people who hunted it the last few years. Finding a 4 point buck isn't the issue, finding an honest big buck of any sort is the issue.

All the people that drew Owyhee unit tags this year and over the last 4 or 5 years.. Remember to THANK a Fish & NO Game biologist for their EXCEPTIONAL job of RUINING these units with the 2 point & youth doe hunts !!!!

I had the rifle tag a couple years ago, I'll send you a PM. Saw one buck that probably was pushing 170s but he was a LONG way off and we had snow storm rolling it so didn't make a play that day. After the snow storm (lasted a day and a half) the rut was on. I would say be careful where you camp, we set up a wall tent fairly high and I was started to get worried about being snowed in.

A new outfitter just bought unit 40 and 45 and 44, he is a big buck hunter , he bought it for a reason
, there must be something there he is after

How much of the unit did he buy? And what’s his name

And how does one "buy" a unit?

 

[Rick Irvin]

I'm guessing he bought the lease for these units.

I would imagine he can guide the entire unit, he bought the outfitting permits- Justin VanHule, that might not be the correct pronunciation of his name
