Never needed more than one round, myself.
The other rounds are for insurance against hostile 2 legged critters

It's bad enough when out hunting hearing a five round mag dump.Sure 5 rounds is enough but until something becomes a problem why try to regulate it.
Like I said until it's a problem there's no need to solve something that doesn't happen. I hunted for decades and never heard a mag dump anywhere anytime. It is common around noon to hear people shooting at a dirt bank because the deer are usually bedded down and people will check their zero or goof around just shooting but that's expected. But strangely in all my years of target shooting I've never seen "mag dumps" at ranges as you pointed out. In my opinion it's something so seldom done that we need not waste our legislative money paying liberal legislatures to regulate things that are so rare it's not a problem. We have too many laws now." I am sure if there were no round limits the mag dumps would be to the capacity of the mags."
When is Target season and what is the bag limit?

I was unaware of this and good to hear!Here in Washington we have no limit on magazine capacity and we also don't have any problems.
I have a question, being the Yugo SKS is designed by the factory to allow the turning off at the gas switch which disables semi-auto. If one had a Yugo SKS and kept the switch in the OFF position ( non-semi) would it be legal ?
Or does it fall under the same idea that if it has a prohibited or limited option then that is where it applies ?
Case of full Auto, which could be switched to semi-auto but isn't allowed, but a firearm such as the SKS semi-auto Yugo that can be used as a bolt action ? Our non action rifle.
Just curious because these tend to come with 10rounders and sure a block is legal but wondered. Anyone know ?
I prefer to stalk the game to get as close as possible. I stalked the last buck to within 30 feet. The real weapon is the hunter.I use the clicky scopes. I like to spook my prey and wait until they get out around 400 yards.

No Matchlocks.....Well that sucks....Page-20 of the 2015 ODFW regulations state:
CENTERFIRE FIREARM
■ Fully automatic firearms prohibited.
■ Semiautomatic rifles with a magazine capacity greater than five cartridges prohibited (except for western gray squirrel).
■ Military or full-metal jacket bullets in original or altered form prohibited.
■ Hunters may use any muzzleloader with any ignition type, except matchlock, any legal sight, any propellant, or any bullet type during
So, reading WHAT IS WRITTEN:
1. NO full-auto anything.
2. Semi-auto RIFLES; magazine CAPACITY not to exceed 5-rounds. 5 in the mag, and IF you must... one in the chamber, but if you need more than 1 or 2 rounds... You must put a limiter/block in it if it's not already factory limited to 5 rounds, NOT just "under-load" it. If you're using a bolt-action, pump-action, lever-action, or break-action firearm you can have a drum-magazine on it if you want.
Since the regulations state semi-auto RIFLES, mag limits don't apply to semi-auto handguns.
This is for big game hunting, game bird hunting with shotguns is limited to 3-rounds total, two in the mag (with limiter) and one in the chamber.
Capiche?
