When two inches of November snow fell on the high desert, Rich Brogdon of Action Outfitters (541-536-5893) in La Pine called his client Mark Broadman from Port Orchard, Washington. Mark made the seven-hour drive to central Oregon that evening.
In the morning, the hunters headed into the sagebrush and junipers of the Paulina Unit. They made their first calling setup in an area where Rich had found evidence that lions were killing deer.
