    Calling out my Eastern Nevada HT friends.

    Want to grab me a pair? I was starting to think they weren't making smalls anymore.

    Oregon Jackrabbit

    Haven't spent much time chasing rabbits, but if it were me I'd pick a spot that looks cool that I wouldn't mind visiting regardless of hunting, and start looking there. I've seen rabbits most places on the east side. Generally not looking for them though.

There are a few blog posters in siskiyou county absolutely frothing over the...

    River Trip draws

    We're getting in the Klamath even if the dam removal has it looking like chocolate milk. No permit there though.

    Is he a Bot or a real person?

    It's true. I've seen him.

    Is he a Bot or a real person?

    Don't disrespect R2 like that. That droid could keep a secret.

    I don't believe that this AI generator has ever seen a real turkey.

    Montana Fentanyl and Meth. Mexican Drug Cartel Focus.

    Is this accurate? What precludes them from arresting outsiders? Tribal policy or some agreement with the state perhaps?

    Fixing Western Hunting

    Stop being such a drama queen. You're taking this discussion too personally. This has become a bit of a match between some pigs wrestling in the mud, and the discussion gets cloudy when folks just keep jumping in. Individual advocacy is important but as Nick mentioned in one of these threads...

    Matt Rinella knocking it outta the park

    I think we have a little HT bias going here though on this point. Certainly there are members here that revel in the trainwreck of that content that should give it up so the algorithm doesn't promote it, but the biggest consumers of crap hunting content aren't your typical HT member. I've...

    Fixing Western Hunting

    I'll give props that this is an interesting idea that might work to relieve nonresident pressure. It's likely that some of the application pressure is artificially inflated because so many folks are applying in multiple states to ensure that they get what they consider to be a decent tag...

    Fixing Western Hunting

    It feels just one step short of 'I should be able to hunt anything anytime anywhere.' Oregon will give a nonresident a statewide fall blackbear tag for $16.50. Heck, I think you can get a second tag for the same price. Plenty of opportunity out there.

    Fixing Western Hunting

    I'm grappling with the concept that something needs fixing here to begin with. Many of us hunt out of state, but I'd be perfectly content to spend the rest of my life hunting OTC dinker blacktail in my backyard just as well.

    How many deer can you kill in your home state?

    Oregon- Max 2 tags 1. One buck tag. - West of the Cascade crest is OTC for blacktail. There are no OTC mule deer opportunities - East of the cascades is all limited entry draw for mule deer. Some tags can be drawn every year, though many units take multiple points to draw. 2. 600 series...

    Are hunter numbers down?

    The distinction USFWS makes between resident and nonresident is for "licenses, tags, permits, and stamps" which I'm assuming is the aggregate of all items an individual might purchase. Makes for a useful distinction on cost, but not for discerning the actual number of hunters. They could do a...

    Are hunter numbers down?

    I think he did mention that in the video he shared. But what other resources do we have? The USFWS report appears to be the best nationwide data out there. I suppose a guy could go to each state agency and compile resident hunting licenses sold over time. That seems like a pretty gargantuan...

    How many of you conceal?

    You still have to do the background check in Oregon but I hear it's a much quicker approval. I'm not sure there is anything official, but I know a lot of folks who say that their approval was instant after acquiring their CCL. That's the only reason I'm considering getting a permit. Every time...

    Are hunter numbers down?

    There are likely millions of acres of private land across the country that were generally open to hunting 40+ years ago that are essentially closed now. Certainly they are still habitat, and I suppose theoretically they are "huntable", but practically no access is allowed.

    Are hunter numbers down?

    Huntable acreage has certainly been lost to things other than development and public land transfer. Find almost any hunter over 50 and go drive around their home town with them. They'll show you thousands of huntable acres that have been lost. I bet that's a big part of what @Nick87 is referring to.
