I greatly appreciate all of the advice.
As a second year hunter who has yet to get an animal, I'm eager to learn any and all that I can.
These forums and people like yall are a huge help to folks like myself who do not have any previous ties to the Hunting community up here.
you got any advice for a newbie trying to get in the game.
I've been reading the various threads on here but its always nice to hear it from a former newbie. I've never hunted before.
What Srg said and I would find a place you want to try hunting at.Deer live everywhere,you need to find the kind of country you want to hunt.The confines of the coast forests and clear cuts or eastern Oregon ?you got any advice for a newbie trying to get in the game.

Yes, you can be out with a rifle - just don't get caught with a dead animal and no tag
For what a tag costs, imo it's worth having - the last deer I saw last year was when I was getting into the truck to head home.
"Yes, you can be out with a rifle - just don't get caught with a dead animal and no tag "
This will,or could lead to guilty until proven innocent.
game wardens don't like folks in their woods with rifles if they don't have a tag.
That would be poaching in their book.Then you would have to go to court and show them the state laws saying you can carry a rifle if you want.
So good luck with that
Here's the biggest question I have...how are you suppose to know where you're allowed to hunt exactly?
For example...I live in Eugene so I decided I'll probably head to Unit 19 (McKenzie) and even downloaded the large map of it from the ODFW but does it mean I can go anywhere within that unit and hunt?

The description of the unit will usually have notes or 'except' that tell you if there is a 'permit only' section in it.Otherwise you can usually hunt the entire unit that isn't private property,or that if you have permission.Here's the biggest question I have...how are you suppose to know where you're allowed to hunt exactly?
