OR Mule Deer Unit JUNIPER — Juniper

OR JUNIPER — Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access Juniper spans 1.87 million acres across a broad elevation range—4,084 to 6,649 feet—and boasts exceptional public-land access at 91%. The unit covers sagebrush and mixed terrain typical of eastern Oregon's high desert and transition zones. Abundant public land means minimal access hassles and strong opportunity for self-directed scouting without relying on private-land permission. Herd Quality Recent wildlife surveys show an above-average buck:doe ratio of 50:100—solid evidence of a reasonably healthy male age structure despite Oregon's generally depressed mule deer populations. This ratio suggests the unit maintains better buck numbers..
