Where?

I’m in the Pacific North West where we have plenty of squirrels, but laws against shooting them.

Do you eat the legs? Tastes like chicken, to my recollection …

[Organic Panic]

It doesn’t matter what “Oregon” thinks. It is what the bums along I5 think and Portland.

[Scrambler Bob]

Can’t swat flies.

[kaktuskid]

The Indians can’t hunt or fish either under this bill. And no commercial fishing.

[bray]

This bill will help turn Oregon Red.

[NorthMountain]

Properly regulated hunting is necessary for the health of the ecosystem especially since most apex predators are gone.

We got rid of the wolves ... so we have to take their place. Fortunately, we're up to the task. If we're not overcome by stark raving madness.

But the entire democRAT party IS overcome with stark raving madness.

“But the entire democRAT party IS overcome with stark raving madness.”

Truer words rarely spoken.

I thought Indian Reservations were under Federal Law ? Which is why they don’t have to charge State Sales tax on fuel.
So, IF they have a river running through the Warm Springs Indian Reservation they could hunt and fish on the Reservation.

[woodbutcher1963]

Plus all those eastern counties will want to join Idaho even more.

[bray]

The state only needs to turn 10,000 votes and the entire state turns Red.

[bray]

This bill encompasses the Dumocrat Party.

The boy looks like he could use a couple cans of Spam.

I suspect the ban proposal will go down in flames, bigly. If it did pass, you might be able to hunt and fish in Indian reservations but you wouldn't be able to possess the fish or game outside of the Indian Reserve.

We have plenty of squirrels too. And possums, raccoons, skunks. I leave them alone but recently had to put skunk repellent around our ada unit because they decided underneath it would made a great home. Little buggers packed up their little skunk suitcases and left. lol We are in the city but live next to one of the oldest golf courses. Bakersfield, Ca.

[FrankRizzo890]

There *HAS* to be something else going on here. They’re trying to stir up outrage to cover up something else.

I live in the area, and I don’t think that they’re this stupid.

[MikelTackNailer]

He looks like he could use a few good ribeyes.

I was wondering if his mother had any boys.

[Labyrinthos]

“If they don’t have a legal regulated sport, they go off reservation and kill everything everywhere.”

Obviously your friends are conservationists. /S

[Uncle Miltie]

I’m in the field and on the river a lot. My friends are conservationists. But the rest of the guys I meet out there, not so much.

You tell them “No, you can’t!” And they’ll say “Hold muh beer…”

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Wow, he’s the poster boy for Low-T. What a skeletor. It fits.

“Ended up with a sick malnourished overpopulated deer population.”

In our Idaho town north of Coeur d’Alene, our neighborhoods are overrun with white tail deer. They have millions of acres of National Forest next door, but they come to the towns for the easy pickins and delicious gourmet feasts in the tended gardens. If you try to control the deer population, the Karens go nuts and you wind up with really sick, malnourished deer roaming around. Our town has to quietly hire people to thin and cull the herds on the QT.
