So, this is a bummer story. I live in unit 43. Plenty of deer, and I have access to good private land. I filled my buck tag the last 2 years. This year my oldest daughter turned 12. She is excited for her first hunt and I'm excited to take her. In filling out the choices, I started her accumulation of points by putting some high value youth hunts in first, with our unit last, at least I thought. Some hunts cover mutiple units in our area and I put down 144, apparently thinking it included our unit. But it doesn't. Now, it isn't an incredibly long drive, but it is almost all private land and I don't know a soul in that unit. Basically Condon to Heppner.
I called ODFW and asked if there was anything they could do for my daughter since it was her first year hunting. Basically, "your fault not ours" was their response. I've been meaning to call my state rep and see if he can help, but I'm not hopeful.
So, if anyone lives or knows anyone in Unit 44 and would be willing to help me out, I would be really grateful.
On the bright side, she did draw a doe tag for our unit so she won't come up completely empty handed.
