Hi friends! I thought I was done with hunting opportunities for the year by the end of November and went ahead and reported online for the three big game tags I held (Coast Elk, Black Bear, and Cougar). I did not fill any of the three. Well I'm going into cougar country tomorrow and plan...

Greetings, all! I have a fun opportunity that I'd like some input on. I have a friend who is interested in creating an art piece based on the "Target" works of the American painter Jasper Johns. He is fabricating six 4' X 4' panels, skinned with 1/4" thick plywood, and painting them a la...

Greetings all! I am interested in the possibility of hunting elk with a handgun this fall. With all due respect for questions of distance and shot placement, I just want to ascertain that a .44 Mag is an appropriate cartridge for such an undertaking. At a distance of 50-60 yards, that seems...

Greetings all! I have a question that internet research hasn't answered. I would like to know about the legality of transporting an unloaded revolver, in a holster, in a backpack, in the cab of my truck (behind the front seats). I have found nothing that would suggest this is illegal, but...

Greetings! I donated the hide of an elk I harvested this fall to a local non-profit educational group and as I am getting my tax stuff in order, realized I could probably write such a thing off as a charitable donation. I have no idea how to put a value on such a thing. I went online and...

Just a heads up for anyone in the Metro Portland, OR area: Friday-Sunday of this week is the Kershaw factory sale. They open up to the public and sell factory seconds at up to 75% off of retail. Last year, I bought four knives, a $180 retail value, for $45. All of them worked perfectly and...

Hi all! I have a situation that I'd like some help with. I know that this has been discussed before, and I've searched and read relevant threads. A few weeks ago, a woman I grew up with was murdered by her husband. They had happily dated for about seven years, had a truly loving, stable...

Hi friends! I'll be leaving in just a few hours to go out to the coast to a friend's land for the elk season that starts tomorrow. I just want to wish all of the other Coast Range hunters on the board a happy, healthy hunt! I'll be back mid next week, hopefully with an animal, but certainly...

Hi friends! I recently made a pair of shooting sticks similar to these: http://www.prbullet.com/stix.htm They're just a piece of old oak flooring, ripped in half. So two 36" 3/4" square pieces. They're bolted together about 5 inches from the top, and have nails with the heads snipped...

Hi friends! I've never hunted waterfowl before, but am interested in trying it this fall. The nearest place accessible to me is Sauvie Island, just outside Portland, so if anyone happens to have any personal experience there, I'd appreciate your insight. My basic questions: Is it...

Hi all! I spent today climbing trees, an activity I did a lot as a kid and adolescent, through college, but have not done in about three years. What I'm talking about is "recreational tree climbing," the use of equipment, techniques, and skills developed by arborists and tree workers, but...

"The Bloomberg administration announced on Friday that it was moving to simplify the process for New Yorkers to obtain gun permits, thus speeding up a set of byzantine licensing requirements that gun-rights advocates have long criticized as among the most restrictive in the country." The rest...

Question: I was recently looking at the T/C Encore pistols, and thinking about them as a hunting rig. Of the calibers available, is there one that (from that gun and barrel) could take an elk at 200 yards? Farther, even? Other than being a single shot and losing your sight picture if you...

Hi all! I'm also posting this in the legal section. I would like to give a gift of a Kershaw Scallion to a friend who lives in upstate NY. I have just read on the internet the state's definitions of prohibited types of knives: "- Section 265.00 Definitions... 4. "Switchblade...

Hi all! I sell salvaged building materials and see all sorts of interesting trinkets and cool stuff come and go all the time. I see firearms related stuff fairly infrequently, usually when some old man dies and his kids/widow have us come and pick up the contents of his...

A question for the masses: I am an Oregon resident, who has hunted elk on a friend's property in the Coast Range. This year, I've invited along a friend who recently moved to the state (last September). He has not gotten an Oregon driver's license or officially established residency here...

Greetings all! American Gun Culture Report is the NW's only independent gun culture magazine. It provides a forum for perspectives on guns and society that are not traditionally included in other gun publications. The voices heard in this publication are leftist, anarchist, communist...

Hi all! On Monday, I had an opportunity to shoot a gun of mine that I haven't shot in about 2.5 years! It's a MArlin 925M in .22Mag. I was shooting on a 50 yard line, and initially, my groups were about 9 inches high and three to the right. I got the height adjusted easily enough. The...

Hi all, I wanted to share my frustrations with my first elk hunt. Rifle season for elk here was four days (Nov. 14-17). I went out to a friend's property near Tillamook, in the coast range. He has about 200 acres of former industrial timber-land, that was most recently logged about 15...

Hi there, I have a friend who I do not think is allowed to possess firearms because of a felonious past. To the best of my knowledge, he does not. I am interested in hunting on his land, and was curious about whether it's fine for there to exist a firearm on his property (one that does...
