Oregon just passed the bill allowing each county to decide if dogs can be used for huntin' cougars! Never thought I would see this day...

It passed in the house... Now off to the Senate. Still a long road ahead.
Excerpt from the Oregon Outdoor Council...
"The next step for HB 2624 is to the Oregon Senate where it will be completely up the Senate President Peter Courtney to either assign it to the committee on Rural Communities and Economic Development where Sportsmen Caucus Co-Chair Senator Arnie Roblan chairs the committee and will give the bill a hearing or the the Senate Environment & Natural Resources Committee where anti-hunting chair Senator Jackie Dingfelder will predictably never allow a hearing or a vote on the bill. If the bill gets assigned to Senator Dingfelder’s Committee it will be a sure sign that once again anti-hunting interests in the Oregon Senate will do anything they can to further hurt rural Oregon communities, big game management and the safety of our families that have to live with cougars on a daily basis."
