Honestly I don't think one unit is better than another you just got to find them no matter where they are at good luck

Killing a mature buck is tough anywhere I would stick with what you know if I were you they are there, work hard and it will happen good luck to you; we all are looking for a nice buck

I agree that all units hide good bucks. The biggest problem with Central units general season is hunting pressure, the farther east you go the fewer people you will see. I like to hunt 3 hours east of Bend.

even silvies has alot of hunting pressure,,,do you think the more remote country like owyhee or bulah or whitehorse is worth the extra fuel cost,pretty open out there for general bow hunting?

by figuring out the rifle tag ratios,,it appears that metolius,silvies,beattys bute,and bulah are the higher ranking units,,,just open to any thoughts about oregon gen archery mule deer.
