Awesome bull!
I don't know how the "Oregon Book" (which is just a private business) can claim Cascade Roosevelt when Rocky Mountain elk were introduced into the Cascades and their genetics are still there. B&C and P&Y classify Cascade bulls as Rocky Mt elk for a reason. Heck of a bull for a...
Sounds great! I like to add beef consume and French onion soup to neck roast in the crock pot and make French dips. Beats the heck out of trying to pick all the sinew out to grind it up.
Liberals in Oregon just haven't felt enough pain from their actions yet. Rock bottom is coming but it's going to have to get worse before anything starts getting better...
Been busy and missed this thread until now. Neffa, I would suggest that hanging up your bow at this point might be a big mistake. This may have already been mentioned as I didn't read all 5 pages but beside the immediate outcome of a successful hunt is the way that hunting can make you a better...
Very cool! My nephew who is mid thirties decided this year he wanted to hunt. He did a ton of educating himself and put in a bunch of time. Finally I convinced him to come hunt our property and he killed a solid 3 point the last day. Been a while since I’ve seen someone so completely elated to...
That is why I don't pack them out any more! Already enough hides and bear mounts in the house. I will pack one out if someone I know wants it and will actually take care of it but if not the coyotes or other bears make use of them.
I got lucky and drew a pretty good deer tag here in Oregon that has weapon limitation of shotgun, muzzleloader or bow. I have a muzzleloader that I can kill with at 100 yards and a bow that I am confident with out of 50 yards on deer size target. In Oregon you can use a scope on a shotgun but...
I would think they are referring to the entire North Pacific as salmon migrate far and wide. Wherever Summer Steelhead go has been dismal for the last several years, but things are improving this year. Winter Steelhead have been doing a lot better at least here in Oregon so I assume they go to...
Hydropower certainly isn't the only problem but clearly it's not good for salmon to turn a free flowing river into a lake with hazardous fish passage if any. I just don't think it's reasonable to expect hatcheries to solve that problem. I believe hatcheries have their place in providing surplus...
If anybody thought that we could build over 200 dams in a river system and not expect salmon populations to suffer they were out of touch with reality. It's amazing to me that there are as many salmon left in the Columbia as there are. Pretty outstanding run of hatchery Spring Chinook this year...
