Howdy everyone,
I'm in my thirties and wasn't raised around hunters so after about a year of reading posts on this site and doing other research I going to tempt some small game hunting now that most of the seasons have opened up. I plan on going to Sauvie Island labor day weekend to bow hunt for rabbit and dove in the northern unit. I also found a small area not too far from Portland where hunting is legal called "Grand Island Greenway" I will check that place out soon.
I have been doing a lot of reading on rabbit, dove, pigeon, grouse and squirrel hunting but I want to reach out to the local community on good techniques and places to hunt small game. I want to stick to traditional archery because it's fun and seems to offer more hunting opportunities near the city but I do have shotguns and rifles too.
If anyone would be willing to share some wisdom I would greatly appreciate it.
Also how does one contact land owners for hunting permission in the modern age. with rabbit and dove/pigeon being a pest to farmers I was wondering if I could spin it as a free pest control service, but I don't want to be impolite so let me know what you all think about that.
Thank you.
