I used to hunt with my father until he passed 30 years ago. The last few years I've been interested in plinking and target shooting. Now I have a desire to try hunting again. I was thinking perhaps of starting with plentiful invasive species such as nutria and wild pigs. Rifle calibers I own are 22 long rifle, 22 magnum, 7.62x39 and .308. Is there a hunting club or group that I could join near Salem, Corvallis or Eugene? Are there landowners in Oregon who would let me hunt their pests? Or public lands? I'm looking for something fairly easy to start with - not trekking through the backcountry for days for a shot at a trophy elk. I know that I can pay for a guided hog hunt in various states, but the cost is quite high. Thanks for any information or advice!
