The Secretary of State included the word Harass in her summary of the initiative. It is one of the topics we are debating with her about. We will have a final initiative wording in a month or so.
We need to be supporting this effort and the other people who are fighting to regain our hunting rights.

Yes, the Secretary of State did write this title. That is why we are arguing the wording.
Libby, do you want to see this law changed? I for one am working very hard to make this happen and have run into many people that scream real loud but when it comes down to it they are not willing to be ...

My bro said you got a little scratch on your leg and stayed home from work... Hope you are feeling better.

I posted a similar message on iFish and it was taken off. They say my posts are too political for them.

I think there are still many out there that think this is not a political issue. It is without a doubt 100% political. There is no science involved. I hope you all are now starting to see this ...

The testimonials must be ...

The cover story today is about cougars in Oregon.

Please send me your petitions so I can get them by Thanksgiving. I would like to know if we hit our 2000 signature goal before then so that if I need to set up camp in front of Sportsman's Warehouse the day after Thanksgiving I can. I have about 1300 signatures in hand right now. I know we have at ...

As far as getting something going in Washington, contact Buddy. He posted on this thread and would be your best connection. I am not up to date on the current situation in Washington. I did hear that a child was just attacked by a cougar recently near Mt. St. Helens.

Why cougars and not bears...
We must dig our heels in and get the political winds in our favor. Cougars are threatening our farmers, our kids and our game populations.
We see that bears are doing the same but it is not widely known by the general public.
We have got a lot of people willing to help ...

Thanks for the suggestions.
As for the lawsuit... Maybe we can try that next. The problem with a lawsuit is the other side can tie it up in the courts indefinitely.
This measure is what is happening now. Please collect the signatures so we can get them turned in.

We are gathering signatures to get cougar hunting with dogs legalized in Oregon again. Cougars are overpopulated in Oregon and most numbers indicated that there are double the amount of cougars than is sustainable. The deer populations in Eastern Oregon are at 50% or less of what they are being ...
