Well I guess that every wishes for a goat or a sheep tag but realistically did anyone here in Oregon pull some good tags? I pulled a deer tag in Oregon (that was expected) and pulled a random deer tag in Idaho, not what I was expecting but I will take it. How did you fellow Oregonians fair in pulling tags this year?

Yep I did. Drew a great Mule deer buck tag I've been trying to get for 6 years. Wife drew a doe antelope and I drew a cow elk. It's going to be a fun year of family hunting.

I drew a good buck tag too, my brother drew Mt Emily #2 bull tag. It's going to be a good year for us here in OR. OH I also drew Gen season elk in Wy, I'm really looking forward to this fall. Hunting starts in September and ends mid November

Just a second choice deer tag here in OR. Looks like I'll have to decide on archery or 1st season rifle for elk. I drew a MT Goat tag for AK and an Antelope and General Deer for MT, hopefully I can squeeze in late ID Deer. In OR my son drew an Antelope tag and a good friend drew a Bighorn Sheep tag so I'll have to help them and live the hunt through their tags:).
 
I drew the tags I planned for, but nothing special. The main priority was to account for myself, my wife, two kids, and one other friend, and that's what happened. Would have been a difficult year to draw a special tag because we're supposed to be building a house this fall.

All general season for me. Between the kids and I we were 0-23 in Oregon and I was 0-everything in Utah and Idaho!

Should have a solid chance at my Weneha archery elk tag next year....

I am also thinking of getting second whitetail tag for the unit I am in since they reduced the cost to $199

Second chance deer tag. OTC elk tag. The cool part is I have a maximum of 2 hr Drive to any of my hunting spots for this year.

I wish I could say that my deal would be sealed in one or two afternoons.
I'm going out on a limb and say that two of the those might get sealed in a couple of days.
I have no expectations for those tags back home but it will be nice to get a little hunting locally.

Good luck on all those tags...... I think the kid's WT hunt might end up being the most rewarding!!!!!
