Oregon

I will be going to Bend Oregon for a National Sportsmens Caucus meeting in mid November.

I want to waterfowl hunt a few days before the meeting starts. I can drive or stay somewhere else.

Any suggestions?

Not familiar with that area but hunted quite a bit in the Klammath Falls/Tule Lake area. More ducks and geese that you will ever see.

Hunted the Snake in oregan. It was awesome.

Haha, nice snag there!

I thought it was all work and no play over there at the state house? Seems like this is one of those additional perks our reps get paid for, and is above and beyond that raise they voted for themselves.

More than likely funded from "kick back" money on the sale of trapped turkeys to Texas................that no longer exists to our knowledge.

There is not a penny of state money to support this org.

This is a group of sportsmen and women legislators from across the US that are fighting to protect your rights from the anti hunter types.

Here is some info. I would think this site would appreciate their legislators going to an event like this. Especially when it does not cost the taxpayer.

The NASC Annual Sportsman-Legislator Summit is the largest gathering of pro-sportsmen legislators that occurs each year. This event provides the bipartisan group of sportsmen-legislators - representing states across the nation - with the opportunity to interact with state and federal natural resource agencies, allied non-governmental conservation organizations and industries concerned with the future of our nation's outdoor heritage. The meeting is also an opportunity for legislators to gather together to discuss issues impacting the sportsmen's conservation community and to share information relevant to America's hunters and recreational anglers and shooters.

The NASC Annual Sportsman-Legislator Summit further educates and informs those involved in the policy process and helps to shape the legislative agenda and issues legislators take on the following year.

Get with Sprigdog. I'm sure he can put you pretty close to some ducks.

Pray for a euro.

It's been a number of years since I've been to Eastern Oregon and it's best areas are private ranches with ponds and alfalfa fields, there are few private waterfowl clubs, but there is a WMA, however I did not hunt the WMA there. There is the little farming town down south Central Oregon at Merril OR, which is potato land in Oregon... (they hunt geese in large potato fields, lots of Snows migrate through there and Specks too, as it's just seven miles north of Tule Lake, CA which is a major NWR there is a ton of hunting all around that regional area. Hope that helps you some.

Thanks.

I located a guide who has land bordering the Summer Lake WMS/Refuge. Looks like the ducks and geese are beginning to leave by that time of the year but so are the crowds of people. The is a risk of sheet ice by midiNov also.

I'm not into the guided hunt as much as free lancing. This guy does a pheasant put take and a stocked rainbow trout pond.

I may do a combo of his guide and free lance.
