Oregon Coast New Guy

[OregonJim]

Thanks for all the welcome aboards,

I live, work and hunt on the Oregon Coast.
I routinely hunt Colorado and I regularly apply in WY & NM.

I have a lot more pics of trophies with fins than I do with horns.
It always seems that tasty meat outweighs potential taxidermy bills.

I am about 15 months from a 30 years retirement although that just means I have to get a real job!!!!

attached are a couple of pics

Welcome Jim. I was gonna ask if you work for the Coast Guard…very cool! Appreciate your service. I've likely "seen" you a few times on the bar.

P.S. Can't wait to get down for some winter rockfish fishing!

Thanks gentlemen,
For Umpqua I'd be happy to share some South Coast rockfish numbers, unfortunately I don't have much for here but the Chinook pic you posted looked a lot like Brookings?

Thanks gentlemen,

I am very fortunate that I can say that I love my job even after 29 years !
Along the way I have been stationed on the East Coast and all the Pacific Coast states.
I have been blessed to have been in places where I was able to take Whitetail, Muley, Blacktails, and two subspecies of elk.

By the way it is only scary when I have to put a newbie on the helm !!!!
