I obviously havent drawn it yet and with 0 points I kinda dont expect to.When you get ready to come over, to scout or whatever, shoot me a PM and we can exchange contact info. I'm always ready to shoot the bull and partake of suds with a compatriot!

I was talking about the lake however I have been to Wallowa the town a few other times. Same region though which is what I was going off of.You mean the lake? Wallowa Lake? Ah, those deer are the local tame Mule deer. They are a real nuisance as people that camp insist on feeding them. They even passed a law against feeding them after a local granny got tossed over the antlers when she dropped an apple slice, bent to pick it up, and the huge buck apparently thought she was competing for it. Those deer are always nosing in thru camper/trailer screen doors and/or at the various houses/cabins around the lake. Hunting around those areas is not legal, and if you get farther out into the woods you won't see that many.

Naw, I was writing about the city of Wallowa OR... on the way between Elgin and Enterprise, just short of Lostine. Very small town but they had a great gun show back when gun shows were great... now it is just the same ol overpriced stuff. But you will see some nice Whitetail in town. Pretty tame. And lots of wild turkey nearby up Promise Road... the kind with feathers. BTW, we have local muleys that live in town all year here in La Grande. There was a beautiful 4pt buck but somebody kilt him after about 4 years of him hanging behind where I worked. People don't like them in their gardens. But last night I was visited again by the three local does that like to trim our bushes. We have at least a foot of snow and they get hungry. I imagine that township deer are around for the food and to stay away from predators.
I might just have to come out to try the rivers over the summer. MAYBE talk you into bringing me to elk camp.Oh yes. Snake River for bass/cats/crappie. Phillips or Thief Valley Reservoir for trout. Wallowa River for trout/steelhead. Wallowa Lake for trout/Kokanee. Just to name a few.

Still working on making friends that I would be willing to go into the woods with.[/QUOTE
When I read this, I immediately thought of that other thread running about hunting partner disasters. I have gone hunting with people I thought were really squared away and it turned into disaster. Some hunts were so bad that it broke the friendship. Others were so bad it was funny and I still laugh about it.
Definitely the protein variety...although I'm not afraid to admit when I'm wrong and eat the metaphorical crow when needed.Mister Bisley,
Metaphorical crow or proteinaceous?
Given crows often eat carrion...

As a young man, when I lived back in MD, we used to hunt crow as part of pest management and the damage they can cause to cornfields. We would breast them and either grill them up with bbq or a teriyaki sauce. I thought they were quite tasty.
They are classified with other small game like pheasant, quail, rabbits, ruffed grouse and squirrels by the Dept. of Natural Resources. They make a lot of corn in MD.Now that never crossed my mind.
Was it ravens or crows that became illegal to shoot because of Mexico? But it think it changed back again.

I'd say it's pleasantly gamey. It's a dark meat, kind of similar to duck, just not as rich/fatty or like a slightly gamey chicken thigh.It can be on the dry side, which is why we always sauced it.Mister Bisley,
Thanks for the information about quite literally eating crow.
You're the first person I've heard of doing so.
I'll bet their breast size made for a very big chunk of meat.
Is it gamey?
Weird fact for me (and my wife) is we both really like 'gamey meat'.
There are crows galore here, though I can't bring myself to shoot em, cuz, well, I like em too much. I like hearing them and watching them strut their stuff in my back yard.
However, if food was scarce, I'd not hesitate to harvest them.
