Hi everyone, here is the official list of winners for the Fresh Tracks+ 2023 giveaway. I will be emailing the winners individually over the course of the next week or so. Winners will have 1 week to reply to my email if they want the prize, and then we'll move on to the list of alternate...
My good friend Tom (of the Association of NW Steelheaders) took me out in his drift boat to try and get my first steelhead. Tom has been a great mentor for me since I moved to Oregon and helped me get my first salmon, sturgeon, and now steelhead!
I lost one right at the start of the trip and...
Went out on my own yesterday to a public spot that hasn't been shooting well recently. Had some high winds that threw me off target for the first 8 birds I tried to shoot. Eventually figured out I needed about a 4 foot extra lead - I was sheltered under a berm and didn't realize exactly how much...
I was one win away from a pro tour invite at GP Pittsburgh (Gatecrash limited) in...2013? Limited was my thing. Went 12-4 and actually got a check in the mail from WotC.
On the note of commander, it has done some weird things to prices. That 20 year old card that was garbage? Now might be $50+
Fortunately the weather is pretty moderate in Portland. I only have one or two hunts a year that I think the cold would be a problem. I've seen Griffons and Pudelpointers out in blinds, and I knew of that one legendary corgi that retrieves ducks.
I really love labs and there's a reason why they...
Thanks for all the input everyone, this thread did not disappoint.
I've also been looking at Nova Scotia Duck Tollers, which seem like the energy and water disposition of a lab crammed in a smaller package.
Let's see some more photos of pups in action.
Mostly I want to see more photos of Gus with a bird in his mouth (ahem... @wllm ) but also a serious question:
Other than labs, which dogs have you seen or had good luck with in a duck blind?
We just bought a house and have an opportunity to finally get a dog. I want to take it into the duck...
I’m sitting here in the Beaverton Sportsman’s. I just pulled ticket 132. The dude who was here at 7:45 had ticket 26 and just got called…7 hours after store opening.
This is gonna be painful.
As @David58 said, there do not seem to be exceptions for veterans. Any weapons he owns prior to the effective date (that don't run afoul of the magazine capacity law) are not impacted. That's why there's such a rush in OR to buy things ASAP. I'm taking a hard look at anything that I...

It looks like the answer to your question is "yes" but I am also not a lawyer
I think this is because California specifically prohibits out of state purchases by residents - you need the weapon shipped to CA and then you need to do the whole purchase process in-state.
As far as I understand it, the Oregon law does not prohibit out of state purchases, just requires the...
This is a poorly worded initiative with some big question marks. The magazine capacity limits seem to have a 180 day buffer, the permit to purchase does not have that same delay built-in.
Key provisions:
No magazines (fixed or removable) with capacity greater than 10 rounds. You may own them...
You can buy a gun out of state, but the seller in that state has to abide by the same rules as the buyer's residency. In theory you need to have the same permit to buy out of state as an OR resident.
This is my current interpretation. You need to get a license to purchase, and acquiring that license goes through the county (?) police, and requires a gun safety course which includes live fire, unloading, and safe storage requirements. At this point it isn't even clear that the concealed...
@furness I've given you access for the next month, and the system should auto-renew your subscription after that. Let me know if you have nay further issues.
I talk about this some in our footage, but these "glory tags" are always a conflicting experience for me.
I don't consider myself a trophy hunter, but if two bucks are standing next to each other I will shoot the bigger one. A tag like this does not come around very often, so I feel like I...
