We have 2 projects lined out for this spring here in Jackson county. Both projects will be installing wildlife friendly fence around some sensitive meadow areas to prevent livestock intrusion.
I was just provided with the fliers but I will update with the direct...

A couple of virtual meetings coming up to discuss a draft outdoor recreation plan. You folks in the Willamette Valley and...
Haven't been keeping as close an eye on these things as I would like, but these two events just hit my inbox:

It's that time of year again. I skimmed the pdf. Nothing huge jumped out at me. I don't know about the increase ewe tags though...

I'm trying to do a better job of sharing these things that are outside of my geographic region. Short notice on this one, but here is an opportunity for Central Oregon folks.

Last fall my girlfriend and I purchased a trip to Central Panama at a fundraising banquet. We're scheduled for mid-July and are considering extending it. The plan is to spend the first 4-5 days in Boquete at the resort, but we're looking at adding a few days to travel to the Caribbean side. Also...
This is something that blew up in my inbox today.

I'm not sure how much traction it will get but I've seen both BHA and OHA share it. It could be an impactful piece of legislation to combat the whackadoodle IP3 that is being pushed.
I'll be...

After seeing how heavily the anti crowd weighed in on the WA spring bear hunt public comment I figured we shouldn't let any opportunity pass.
Oregon is looking at clarifying the rules around hunting in state parks. Comments are open...

ODFW is offering a tag exchange for those that were directly impacted by the fires if they were unable to hunt. Sounds like it is available to archery tag holders and they would receive a rifle tag in exchange.
@gouch , is this something...
Since ODFW can't hold their normal public meetings the districts have put together a series of videos to address the proposed changes. Here is my local districts contribution. I'm sort of excited about the prospect of a November rifle season. Since I've started elk hunting I've had a mild...

Has anyone else bought plate vouchers? I'm involved with Oregon Hunters Association and this is a campaign we're trying to push. 3000 vouchers have to be sold before DMV will put the...
Anyone else applying in the California draw? This is my first year as a nonresident, but it's close and I have a few points I figured I'd build on.
I have a childhood friend who wants to get back into hunting, so we applied for points and will be doing a general archery hunt in the Marble...
Hey all,
Been lingering for a little bit and following some of Randy's platforms for a while. Finally got a little time of join and interact.
I grew up in far NorCal (we called it Baja Oregon), and after 25 years there moved to Southern Oregon for college. Finished that and looking forward to...
