I use them on a regular basis here in OR on national forest and blm land. I leave them out till the start of gun season,and even use them durring archery season. I have 4 of the 100 dollar...

Been several years since i have hunted it but used to go all the time in the hayday of the steens mt. I have taken a few 165-175" class deer from there. My largest was around 1990 or so a 185" 4x5...

280 Rem. In a 700 mountain rifle is a match made in heaven!

If not in to deep Browning BAR 300 win. Long packs 700 mountain rifle 280 rem.

I almost did and may still give the 168's a look. And i agree there is no doubt from a pure balistics veiw that would be a better choice. I am a little worried that trajectory from a 280 with that...

Recently have started reworking loads for my old 280 rem. in a 700 mountain rifle. This gun has filled more tags for me than i can really remember. It is one of the most accurate production guns i...

I know it's not really a "hunting bullet" but mine is 190gr sierria hpbt match. 72gr. reloader22,mag primer. around 2800fps from a browning BAR on rcbs crono. Makes the not so great shooting gun pull...

Oregon has a lot of opportunity for a really good spring bear hunt. The cost is high i know for a non res. tag but lots of land to hunt with a lot of bear to find. The ground can be tough to cover...

I believe most states game dept. can't and will not act in time to manage a declining areas wildlife. States will not cut across the board due to loss of revenue. So some of the most depleted areas...

Last season i bought my second pair of Wolverine Antelopes! The first set took many many miles of tough ground. They are so light! Easy to step light and move fast with out clunking around. The tread...

It is unreal how many companies make Ar's or components anymore,it is easy to get overwelmed. I have had guns from colt,olympic,bushmaster. Shot some from DPMS,Smith&wesson,Rock river and some...

What does everybody think on putting down a second choice for your hunts? In WY in particular but other states as well. I put in for a limited quota elk tag in WY the odds are long with my number of...

I just picked up a Bushnell legend arc 1200 on sale for $290(black) to replace my very abused older style bushnell legend. For the money the bushnells have always worked well for me. This style will...

I know the ground well down there and a guy can find some ok elk hunting on the public lands. But for the most part the private is by far the best. If i had to travel any large amount i would not go...

When the moon gets full in Sept. Last year i think it was around the 10th. Different herds did different things though. Not sure about the chetco but access is tough in the other 2. Some fed/blm land...

Very well put! They (ODFW,Oregon legislature) all know the hole they are digging this state into. From lack of habitat to predators as well as tag quotas that are only there to assure revenue. We...

So if you apply in a limited entry unit first choice can you apply in a general area second choice with any chance of drawing the general tag? With my points(3) a good limited tag is a far bet but...
