    Governer to declare State of Emergency over fires....close USFS land

    Oregon Outdoor Council just posted up on their Facebook page that the USFS is asking Gov. Brown to declare a State of Emergency, which would/could (not sure which) close USFS lands. I haven't been able to find a second source to confirm, but that could really stink for bowhunters. My two...

    Goal #1 achieved!

    kinda long, but here we go.... Last November found me incredibly out of shape, looking over an elk wondering how I was ever going to get him out and back to the truck, a whole mile and a half away. I passed up the shot and it really sunk in, I needed to get back into shape. Back in 1988 I blew...

    Mastercraft tires

    Time to get new tires, I usually go with Les Schwab's out here because their service has been really great. I was looking at the Toyo's but holy crap they are pricey! At the budget I have, I was looking at the Mastercraft Courser MXT. Never heard of them before, of course the sales guy said...

    Memorial Day

    I would venture that whether you were in the military or not that you or someone close to you knows someone who gave their life for this crazy experiment in government. Remember to take the time Monday to raise a glass of whatever you got for those men and women and their families and friends.

    ODFW proposed fee hikes

    I dont mind paying a bit more for licenses IF the money would stay with ODFW to improve the State's hunting and fishing.

    Oregon Get Together Poll

    Couldn't figure out how to add the poll on the other thread...so I started another. The idea is to figure out where folks that are interested in the get together LIVE. That way we can hopefully find an area that will be most central to the participants. After we figure this out, we can work on...

    Anyone have one? I checked the almighty Amazon, and all I found was guy that says his works for the 650, but its a micro usb....works with some of the others but not the 650. Only one I have found is the Garmin one on their site, and they want almost 40 bucks for it..

    General MRS question

    For the Eastman folks......When you grades units (especially "blue chip") is it based on a comparision in that specific State or is it a comparison across States. So are they set up so a blue chip in Nevada is comparable to a blue chip in Montana or is it just a blue chip for its state? Make...
