Buzz is Back with an Oregon Mule Deer Leave a reply

The most recognizable salmon and steelhead angler in the Pacific Northwest and the front man for Yakima Bait Co. was just here around two weeks ago with a moose from Northern BC and here he is again, this time with a mule deer taken in Eastern Oregon's Fossil Unit. Notice the ballistics chart taped to the stock of Buzz's rifle. Details, details!

In his words:

"After passing up several bucks during our seven-day Oregon Mule Deer hunt, and no shot available on a dandy 5X5 we saw the very first day, I finally spotted this buck across a canyon at 259 range-finding yards. The outside width of the rack measured 21 inches. Although we got the head out the same day, it wasn't until 2 days later that Wade and I went back to bone the deer and back pack it the 3 miles to the rig. My son Wade passed up a nice 3X3 later the same afternoon I got my deer but, likely due to it being even farther from the rig, ended up tagging a spike deer the next day that was much closer to the road. We were hunting the Fossil Unit SE of Condon, Oregon."
