Is there an address anywhere on the catalog & if so, does the address have a Zip Code?? That would tell you which side of about 1968 it's from.

Refresh my memory; Where's Long Creek at??

Welcome aboard; the guy in charge forgot to take his memory pills again, but will be along shortly with an official welcome. [Big Grin]

Koko, Long Creek is just north of John Day..

?????? I thought that the Columbia River was just North of John Day.
I seem to remember seeing the signs for the turn-off to Long Creek on my way down toward French Glenn.

The John Day River runs north through central Oregon and into the Columbia River. I am less sure of where the little town of John Day is but recall it as central or south eastern.

Glad we got that settled. How far from Prineville Reservoir? I've been there.

Good hunting. LB

John Day is about 75-80 miles east of Prineville. Long Creek is probably 25 miles north of John Day.

Koko-I know you've been to Burns, John Day is about 60 miles north, kinda between Pendleton and Burns.

"Whew" there's our Oregon geography lesson. I think ? Lol..BTW all great country.

Leaving Prineville a couple years ago, I took the back roads down through Alturas and Reno. The section of south eastern Oregon I saw looked like very good coyote country.

Good hunting. LB

Good looking coyote country that holds good looking coyotes. There's some quality fur from that area.

I'll remember for a long time one big male that came in on a frosty morning when the light was `just right`. It looked like he had a silver aura around him.
