    Mercy Kills - Legality?

    This is something I’ve always wondered about in regards to using a firearm for that mercy killing. If one were within city limits it would be illegal to use a firearm, even though no wildlife laws are intended to prohibit mercy killings. Thinking about a friend of mine who’s had two deer get...

    Late onset agriculture

    I personally wouldn’t try it, I didnt grow up on a farm. I’ve heard of plenty of people trying it. Success stories, I don’t hear very often. Theres a lot you’d need to know that if you didn’t grow up doing might be hard/expensive to learn. If you’re actually serious about it, you might want...

    So, you went smaller caliber, but not down to .223…

    I haven’t gone smaller diameter wise. I used my 308 this year, but after seeing the amount of meat loss from the damage I went out and picked up a 30-30 that I plan to use next deer season. Same caliber, just less umph.

    Deer hunters and sunscreen?

    I always wear sunscreen. Pretty much everything in my house is fragrance free, as it tends to irritate my skin (and I hate all the scents), but nonetheless there is always a smell just from the ingredients. I’m no expert hunter, but I don’t think there’s any hiding your scent no matter how...

    Feeling the Pressure: Two Tags to Fill

    Thanks! I’m definitely glad that I created this thread. In addition to getting lots of great advice from the other forum members, it also acted as something of a hunting journal, giving me something I can look back on and reflect about what worked, what didn’t, etc.

    Oregon FICS delays...

    I was active army w/ a secret clearance as well, but it’s never caused any kind of delay for me. The last name thing is what I was told causes most delays by a guy who just retired from OSP.

    Oregon FICS delays...

    You must have a pretty common name. I have bought 3 or 4 guns since 114 passed, and have never had to wait more than 2-5 minutes, and that was before getting my CHL. I’m told it’s because there’s not a lot of people with my last name out here, so there’s very few people for the system to confuse...

    Lucky to be alive! Alaska Elk

    Yikes, what a time! Good reminder of why I never want to hunt that hard. No animal is worth endangering my life over it. Glad you’re on the mend.

    Go through your pack- what's made in the USA?

    Probably just my rifle, but that’s not even carried in my pack.

    Not allowed to hunt bear over bait here :/

    I do have a bear tag still. I’ve only seen one place with any bear sign, but that’s something. The hardest part might be finding the time to get out there once the holidays start up.

    Maybe, but she also was the first to suggest getting the antlers mounted, so I’m happy with this compromise
