    Oregon ballot initiative

    I know how many morons live in this state. And this is a batshit crazy initiative petition. You are correct that activists will use strategic language. All I'm saying is I think it's a little different than the hound hunting ban. Lots of Oregon residents who aren't hunters probably don't even...

    Oregon ballot initiative

    What percentage of Oregon residents ran hounds prior to the ban? Hell, for that matter, what percentage of licensed hunters ran hounds? How does that compare to the percentage of Oregonians that consume animal products? 99.4% of people in this state eat meat or consume dairy products. I mean...

    Oregon ballot initiative

    So here's what we have so far: 1) It's an Initiative Petition, not a bill. 2) They need 112,000 signatures to get it on the ballot 3) They have around 30,000 Here's some important facts for context: Oregon does have one of the highest rates of veganism in the US. 688 out of 1,000,000...

    Oregon ballot initiative

    Typically I'd assume you were right. But per the IP3 website: "If passed, IP3 would remove the exemption for hunting, fishing, and trapping from our cruelty laws, meaning that any practice that involves the intentional injury of an animal would be criminalized. Although the practice of seeking...

    guidance on recurve draw weight

    How long are you holding at anchor? Are you anchoring, transferring the weight to your back muscles, and expanding until release? Or just touching anchor and letting it rip? Measure your draw length using a marked arrow. AMO draw length for recurves and long bows is from the nock throat to the...

    FNG - MT - Beginner Backcountry Bowhunting - Recurve

    Invest in a chest freezer on the off chance you're successful. You can usually find them cheap used (my old one was $50). I would not put myself in a position to be dealing with 180+ lbs of meat without a way to store it. I also would not want to give away 150lbs of meat from my first elk and...

    Help-Canted Crosshairs Illusion?

    I actually intentionally cant my rifle when I set up scopes to combat this effect (rifle canted w/ scope crosshairs level to a plumb bob). As long as the vertical crosshair is parallel to gravity when the bubble level is right, the rifle being canted (w/in reason) doesn't really matter. I think...

    True sleeper optics

    A few more, including some that are sadly no longer in production: Theron Questa/Leupold BX-4 Mckinley/Zen Ray Prime- Probably all the same design or from the same OEM. Best edge sharpness you'll find for $500. Vanguard Endeavor HD spotters- Really solid for a $400 optic. Athlon Cronus 15x56-...

    Leupold Gold Ring 20-60x80 opinions

    Haven't seen much for reviews on this spotter. Eye relief is a priority for me since I wear glasses when hunting. Typically I stick w/ big binoculars for this reason, but I've started hunting an area where having a little more reach will be helpful. Anyone have any experience with the 80mm...
