Allow for the taking of foreign armed drug cartel agents per season along with a nice bounty and this problem would go away.

Maybe they’ll need to go hunting with semi-automatics after all.

Steven Colbert should join the pot growers for a day so he can testify to Congress about their working conditions. I’m sure it’s just as dreary as the migrant farm worker gig, but with the possibility of getting shot.

[Siouxz]

Well, I think for everyone’s safety they should just post signs warning deer hunters not to hunt there. Hey, it worked down at the Arizona border, right? /s

[mazda77]

Now, maybe the left can understand why hunters do need AK-47’s. One group hunts for dinner and the other group hunts for dopes.

Do you need a license and tags for vermin in Oregon? Oregon is pretty liberal. Here in Idaho we don’t need a tag or have a limit on this type of vermin.

[svxdave]

My high powered rifle would level the playing field.

[Vinnie]

I wonder if deer browse on marijuana?

[Keith in Iowa]

What huntin’ folks in Iowa need to be alert for is meth lab left-overs improperly disposed of, or clandestine labs themselves. Nasty crap to deal with.

[ChocChipCookie]

I’ve heard from a law enforcement person here in Arizona, that this is true of the White Mountains. It’s scary that a family out camping or hunting could wind up dead just because they stumbled into the wrong place at the wrong time.

Similarly, Pot Growers warned about “Hunters”.

Some of these guys are NOT hunting for deer, but “hunting” for pot patches to steal.

Regular occurrence in Nor Cal. Around this time people come wandering onto your property with guns saying they are “hunting”. Hunting for irrigation lines mostly!

There was a story posted here a few months ago about the dangerous people that are now showing up in Northwest wilderness areas, at even the most remote campgrounds. You can also run into them on hiking trails and logging roads. The list includes mobile meth labs, pot movers, pot growers, mushroom growers, illegal aliens, prison escapees, etc. Pretty much anyone trying to keep a low profile and stay hidden from the law.

When we hike, or camp in WA and OR, we always carry. And its not for protection from bears or cougars

[La Lydia]

So now they have ceded part of Oregon to Mexican drug dealers? Nice.

Wow, such a strong response to the cartel problem here. No wonder the mexies celebrate Cinco de Mayo with such fervor.. it`s more about the triumphs against us than some obscure victory over the French.

Meanwhile AZ faces lawsuits by the Feds.

[spetznaz]

Interesting story. Sad that enjoying a weekend could get one killed. I am certain the drug runners have better weapons that shitguns and hunting rifles ...maybe the Feds should go after them rather than bothering citizens who have ‘assault looking’ weapons.

[From The Deer Stand]

Sounds like a good reason for a new hunting season.

[SampleMan]

Sounds like a good reason to carry more than my normal five rounds while deer hunting.90-100 rounds and some smoke grenades might be in order.

[Nuc 1.1]

In the not too distant future America will have a real president and the drug cartels will disappear.
