Looks like I need to move off the west coast!

Here in Orygun's Willimette Valley its the other way around.

Im not sure Im even going to hunt (public) this year its so damn crowded. I think the main issue is most the land is private and inaccessable so we end up over crowded on public lands. Last year I headed out before light to my "Secret Spot" hiked in about 2 miles and waited for sun up....At sun up I found 2 orange vests in the clear cut I was hunting. Decided to go home and got caught in a traffic jam on logging roads! Frustrating.

Since then Ive gotten buddy buddy with some land owners.

I wish I had your problems =)

I think you are all pigs, racist pigs.

How come nobody is getting in line to kill white bears?

Just another example of the Man keepin' the brother down.

'Cause, hube, white bears live up in Cold Country. In Terlingua, water freezes at 60 degrees. When the temperature gets below 70, I Am Not A Happy Camper. (But, from 110 to 120, my arthritis doesn't bother me.)

Here in Arkansas the good ole boys would never let the bear population get out of hand. It still took 3 years of doe hunting to get the deer under control.

Well, after reading the thoughts about hunters and hunting on some of the bicycling and backpacking sites, I can see why we're experiencing wildlife issues. IT IS NOT SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC FOR PEOPLE TO GO KILL THEIR OWN MEAT! Of course that is not what the actual point is, but that is how is seems to me. People cannot stand that they are responsible for the animal problems and need to manage the herds back down to size.
