No apology necessary. I agree 100%. As soon as a government agency determined that they OWN all the animals, and can CHARGE US to shoot them... it has been going down hill. They aren't doing the job they are suppose to be doing with the money we are paying them. Instead, as you said, anti's have gained positions in those agencies and are using it as a way to get rid of hunting.
$140 non-resident Oregon hunting license
$375 non-resident Oregon buck tag
That's not even including lease payments if applicable, transportation, and other costs of the hunt for gear and supplies. **** right its becoming a rich mans sport. When a normal man can barely afford to go hunting in the fall, or can't at all... it's time to rethink things. We've long passed that point. There's no way I'll believe that even 50% of the money I spent there is going toward enhancing animal numbers. Not when they introduce wolves and cougars as fast as they can truck them in.
All that edit aside, I did have a great time there. I attribute that to the people I was with and the beauty of mother nature however. I give not one singular bit of credit to an oregon agency charged with management of a species.
