Hi Guys!

I recently joined the forum and then quickly posed a question in the antelope forum.....

Feedback from other posts tell me proper protocol would have been to introduce myself first!

I'm a native southern Oregonian. 61 years young and recently retired FEDEX driver.

I love to hunt and fish, but consider myself an elk hunter first and foremost.

I've harvested a number of bull elk, a bunch of deer ( blktl and mule ), one small buck antelope and a

mountain goat in AK many years ago.

I was looking for an archery elk today, but they weren't playing nice. I did see a good number of Blacktail bucks though.

Two are very nice 5x5's ( 4x4 with eye guards ) that I will be looking for this rifle season :D

It takes way too many years to draw a decent antelope tag here in Oregon, so my party and I are looking to hunt

Wyoming, as early as 2015. We bought a pref pt this year and are trying to research as thoughtfully as possible for

the best options - meaning, accessible public land, a reasonable antelope population and ability to draw the tag with

our meager pref points.

I have subscribed to both Eastman Journals now and I'm hoping that the MRS sections will be helpful.

Any help or advice from our membership is most welcome - and if any of you have questions about hunting Blacktail

deer in S. Ore, I'd be happy to share my knowledge with you.

Hunt hard, be safe. BT53
