If you’re an Oregon Deer Hunter, or you hunt Pronghorn, Bighorn Sheep, Elk or Rocky Mountain goats, the deadline to purchase the application is May 15th.

There are several ways to apply for a controlled hunt in Oregon. You can go to a license agent, by fax or apply by mail.

If you’re applying by fax or mail, you’ll need this form.

For those of you who put in for the Oklahoma Controlled Hunts, you’d better get over to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife’s website and enter before the May 15th deadline.

Starting this year, applications will only be taken online. So don’t be looking for the booklets at Wal-Mart or your favorite Sporting Goods stores because they won’t be there.

I ran across this story in the Houston Chronical about an outfitter in Texas who runs hunts for young boys.

The outfitter, Mike Arnold is a past president of the Texas Trophy Hunters Association.

His outfit, called the Cross Trail Outfitters, has a simple Mission Statement.

“Building men, preserving our heritage and sharing our faith”

I ran across this story today while browsing a homesteading forum. Seems this lady in Asheville NC, who also is the Wildlife Correspondent for Peta (go figure), sent this letter in to the editor of the Asheville Citizen-Times.

Here is the link.

Wow, this just blew me away when I saw it on Remington’s website.

I hope that Remington won’t change too many things with the Marlin line. Remington and Marlin are two of my favorite gunmakers and they’re both still making them here in the U.S.A. (yeah, I know about the Spartan line of O/U’s, rotating block muzzleloaders made in Spain and the Serbian made 798’s, but the main line is still made here) I hope they continue to do so.

There has been a rash of poaching incidents in Southeastern Idaho recently and the Idaho Game & Fish is asking help from residents to solve the cases.

These cases aren’t cases where someone shoots an animal illegally and puts it in their freezer. These animals were poached and left to go to waste. Poaching really gets my Goat, but shooting animals and leaving them lay to waste really gets me hot under the collar. These a$$holes need caught and sent to prison where they belong.
