Oregon ballot measure to ban hunting, trapping, and ranching

[Brute]

Was on Outdoor GPS last Sunday.
Amy Patrick of OHA (Oregon Hunters Association).
She said she saw ballot petitioners at the Oregon state fair. You think they will even be able to have county fairs or a state fair if it passes?

I watched that same video. She did a good job explaining just how insane this all is and how many hidden elements there are in it.

People need to remember what WE here in WA, have had taken away from US through ballot initiatives!!

Oregon suffers just like we do!!  Big city's are full of ignorant voters who over time encroach into rural areas and still vote and are clueless about outdoors and wildlife!

I live in East Wen. since leaving the Methow and love seeing the coyotes run the streets at night, then see posters up on power poles about missing pet cats and small dogs. Had one of the biggest Owl's in a tree in my front yard a couple of years ago, same thing happened and my squirrel population dropped like a rock too!!  Get a big grin on my face when I hear them hooting at night!

First it has to get enough signatures.  Many signatures will be from people who didn't know what they were signing and would have otherwise voted "no", also many that do not vote.

If, big if, it gets on the ballot, it has zero chance.

Last I saw this initiative already had 105k signatures of the 117k needed. They’ll make the ballot the question is how many people will vote yes on it? My bet is there will be far more yes votes than any body thinks.

I bet it gets the signatures it needs and I bet the left puts up a good ad campaign to mislead the voters as to what is really in the bill. These groups will put up commercials showing starving dogs and unethical hunters wounding animals and more. The hunting rights groups will be outspent by a large margin and Oregon is liberal and for the most part dumb so they will vote for the starving dogs as they see it 🤮
