I hunted that area in the 80's and can attest to that fact. Man that place had the big bucks back then. Haven't hunted it in the past 25 years so don't know how it was then. We used to drive around the portland loop at night and saw some huge bucks. Saw one that had a rack so big he got caught up in a tangle of vines trying to run off the road and sat there thrashing around for a couple minutes trying to get loose. Booner.
