I’m embarrassed that this is even being thought of in our state. Oregon has so much to offer the outdoorsmen, from ocean fishing to desert hunting we have it all. A few cities control the entire state just like many others, It’s a damn shame. I used to be proud the be an Oregonian.

Once they figure out how it died they need to take note and make that standard procedure. We have plenty more here in Oregon we can send that way.

Percolator all the way. Water and coffee on the burner before I go to bed. Fire it up when wake up, let it perk for 8-10 min.

I have to agree with you Jim, most hunters I know would never burn out a barrel. I’ve been shooting more this year simply because I’ve had the extra time lately. If I were to use them exclusively for hunting, most of my rifles that would never be fired. I bow hunt for these days for elk and...

My Kimber Hunter in .280AI weighs right at 7 lbs with scope and loaded magazine. It is a tough rifle to hold steady but in perfect conditions I would feel confident to 700 yards. The entire set up cost me less that $1300 I see that Kimber discontinued the .280 from hunter series for some reason...

That’s a cool system. I may look into one for my hunting rig I drop air often, especially in the snow.

I get what your saying JimP when I get into a spot like that I do pack a rifle capable of reaching out there (.280AI or .300WM) I just don’t get the small caliber for long range gig. I keep my 25-06 in the 0-400 range and my .243 0-300

I’ve always had the attitude that I need to get as close as possible no matter the circumstances. If I plan to kill it I have to go get it anyways so why not close the gap. I think there’s a lot of long range on tv due to the fact it’s easier to film.

I e never had to shoot past 330 yards on a game animal. The whole long range thing is so over hyped.

If I want to shoot a bullet that’s over 120 gr I will shoot a bigger caliber. This craz to oversize the caliber is ridiculous.

My Ol 25-06 suits me just fine. BUT I do want a new one just because I’m afraid that it will be discontinued. I can’t even buy a M70 Featherweight in 25-06 right now. I have enough reloading components to last me the rest of my life.

I tried a natural ground blind last year since my knee was so bad they never showed up.

I have a couple in the hit list here in Oregon I want to meet up with next year. They just moved way too much for me last fall, those critters in the cascades don’t stay in one spot for long. Nothing but timber for miles and miles so they are pretty safe.

Thanks Scott, I may wait out one more year for out of state stuff. But at 55 and double digits in Wyoming and Nevada I will be liking to cash in in the next several years!
