I called wdfw this year 3 days before general rifle season because my wife admittedly tossed my transport tag in the garbage not knowing what it was(long story)...they said oh yeah no problem...just go and get another one...$10.00 later no problems, i had a new tag. the whole time i was amazed how easy it was to get another tag. the high hunt had happened at this point, so i could easily have killed a deer, then went and bought another tag for $10.00. i was confused by this, but relieved that i could get another tag. i'm sure people take advantage of this at some point. |

I think your seeing more and more of this and have heard of guys being shot at while in pursuit and wearing hunters orange so clearly visible. buddy of mine had a guy lay a few rounds through his windshield when the guy claimed my buddy went after his elk. the Oregon state police arrested that guy who turned out to be a felon and should not have been out there to begin with. but everyone Ive talked too about this agree on one thing it gotten worse and continues to as more land is gated and hunters are packed into an area. now some may say they like the locked gates. But as in my father in law bad heart bad knees but loves to hunt he was heart broken when the gates were locked . he got a disabled hunt what joke that was there was more people in there then the other units. some say alot of the northest was wilderness and often walked in. but in rebuttal there also wasn't as many hunters, the timber companies say it saves there lands from us destructive hunters, I don't think opening gates for the hunting seasons could be that damaging. if they want to talk damage why don't they go back to the buck saws and mule team logging?that's how it once was. they didn't walk in then either. has anyone ever talked to an old logger or seen the photos where they rode the log trains into the high country and returned with some nice big bucks just lined on the flat rail cars? Safety is number one for our hunts and its getting where we are just not feeling safe out there. |

I hate to bring this one up again but last year on opening day of the general season my cousin and i were making a stalk on a nice buck that we had seen duck into a draw, we wouldve had about a 200 yard shot as it was a tiny little draw. as we're sneaking up on the buck we look off to our left and see a guy and his wife on horseback come riding in fast ride right into the middle of the draw push the buck out and start chasing it. When the guy finally realizes he aint catchin this buck on horses he jumps off of his horse and starts shooting up a storm as the buck is running at about 600 yards after his first four shots the buck has stopped running and is now limping along very slowly. So we keep following just to kinda watch and see, this guy rides his horse up within 50 yards of the deer and empties two more clips at it with no result, by this point i am set up at 200 yards with a clear shot angle on the deer and i was about to finish it off when he reloaded and finally hit the deer, putting it down. so we come up to check the deer out and it was about a 26" 4x3 but the guy actually had the nerve to complain about the size of the deer. all he said was i thought it was bigger. he was from oregon by the way, explains everything. |
