I was told about this site while visiting with the gun sales department of Fisherman's Marine & Outdoors here in Tigard about posting my gun here to sell and I am happy to of found a site where I can learn and share info.
I grew up in the Portland Oregon area in the 80's and 90's and went hunting only a few times with friends, but never took it too seriously until I went hunting with my 2 uncles last year in the Hells Canyon area just outside of Ontario Oregon. I picked up a Weatherby Vanguard 270 Win last August because that was the only caliber I had shot in the past other than a .22. I was quickly told to return it for a 30.06 becuase "it wasn't going to cut it for Elk", but opening day at 10 am I came upon a herd very slowly and was able to take a shot at an elk within 40 yrds and well... I am hooked for life man! All I ever want to do when I'm in the woods is look and hunt for this majestic animal and figure out where they are hiding and why. My family has enjoyed this Elk all year and now they need more and I can hardly wait to get out there again. This year I will be in the Starkey unit and it sounds promising over there this year.
So a big thanks in advance for all the great info I am about to learn at this site and I hope to see you out there!
