IMO if you can consistently kill deer and elk in Oregon you are one hell of a hunter. It’s getting very tough to do these days.

I don’t think that change will gain much revenue, Most people apply for the most sought after tags and use general bow season as back up hunt. Nearly everyone I know does that, especially rifle hunters.

Buy raffle tags and figure out how to become wealthy. Oregon sheep action tag usually goes for well over 100k

we used to try to do that, the best I ever did was take the white off the tip of the match.

I had to drive to the valley this morning. I drove up the road a few miles where I used to find elk and I’ll be damn, I saw a cow and a calf.

No, 7 is where I’m at.

Welcome, not many Blacktail hunters here. I used live to hunt them. The burns last summer should really help where I used to hunt. It had grown over so bad it wasn’t good anymore.

I’m thinking real hard about trying to cash in in Wyoming antelope.

I would have to agree with you.

I stopped trying to beat the wind. I have more encounters now than I did when I tried to keep the wind in my favor. Where I hunt it’s nearly impossible after 9:00 am to keep the wind right, constantly swirling Another thing I’ve learned is mid day seems to be when I have had several of my close...

Cow tag is for cow only, you cannot shoot a bull of any size.

I’m not a 10% er on elk, that being said the killing part with a bow is where I fail. I hunt an area here in Oregon that has about a 6% success rate. I can typically find a bull within one day, getting an arrow into one is an entirely different story. The best thing I ever did is took a class on...

Merry Christmas everyone! I wish you all a great day with family and friends.

That should be just fine, My 25-06 loved the 100gr Remington Core-lokt. I spent years trying to out do them with handloads and never did. the closest I ever came was 100 gr nosler BT They didn’t perform all the at well when it came time to kill. They worked but I had to shoot the deer two...
