I just wonder what kind of offers I'd receive if I said I had been drawn for Big Oaks on 5 November and needed a partner. I really don't think my son wants to go and I haven't called in to reserve my area yet, probably all the good areas are taken already. Of course "if" I did decide to go and it was to rain that day I would not hunt, I don't deer hunt in the rain. I know, I know this is the best time to kill the trophy's but if I hunt in the rain it's going to be waterfowl. I may call tomorrow and see what areas are available then decide if I want to go.

Hood, I'm from Pendleton. I started hunting Big Oaks (JPG) back in 1985 and have been in almost every area that has or had been open to hunting. We have take some really nice bucks out of there and seen many more. I killed three of the four I have on my wall in there with the biggest scoring 163. I do favor the northern areas but there are also some good areas in the central and south. I just don't care for going down for a one day hunt. Guess I'm still thinking back to when it belonged to the Army and we could get in with just a phone call to reserve an area. We could also hunt four days every week of the bow and gun season.

OK, son said he's not interested so I have a spot available. I called and got area 12. Surprisingly to me there were many areas 39 and north that still had space available.

I'm not sure if I could make it or not at this time due to my work schedule and it looks like greghopper is ready. So I'll decline. Thanks anyway.

We're in area 12.
As for me to tell you what a good area is, that's a hard one. There are deer in all the areas even though I may have thought there weren't when I was hunting them.
