I wouldn’t be surprised if it passed either. This one is for you @StG58.

Petition to ban hunting in Oregon
- Thread starter Chris
- Start date
They will be in support for banning hunting until they hit a deer every single night on their drive home from work. There is less hunting every year in my state, and deer populations are out of control. They casually graze in neighborhoods with zero fear of humans. Even in my own neighborhood, I can drive home during the middle of the day and there will be a herd of 5-10 of them just eating landscape shrubs in front of houses.
People also don't understand that being shot with a rifle or bow is the quickest death a deer will ever have. The only other options are starvation, freezing to death, disease, being eaten alive by predators, or hit by vehicles. Most of the hunters I know do more for environmental conservation than any of these so-called "animal rights" people could even dream of.

Thanks @Chris , thanks a lot. I just got my act together this morning and then you throw this at me...
I looked the article over quickly. I seriously don't know what to say.These people are clinically insane, and shouldn't be allowed out in public unsupervised.
Oh, by the way, we need a head exploding emoji...
I'm currently reading an academic paper by Peter Turchin titled "Historical Dynamics - Why States Rise and Fall" that exactly explains the current state of affairs and offers insights into what's coming. I'll probably post my thoughts in the politics section once I get them organized and on paper.

Being an Oregon native and born in Portland in the 60's, I've seen this great state go downhill due to the influx of big city Californians and other leftists bringing their corrosive views and policies to this state. Compounding the problem is common sense people leaving the state which concentrates the stupidity here.
Oregon went to mail in voting in the 80's and that was the last time a republican was elected governor. We now have a democrat super majority in the state house, senate and governorship. There's a concerted effort from the democrats with the help of outside money to ram through anything on their wish list, no matter how crazy it may seem. IP68 is just the latest example of an endless list of freedom grabbing actions.
Being both a fisherman and a hunter, it's a tough pill to swallow with the banning of things the left doesn't like. Guns have been a major battle here and fishing as well. Fishing catch limits have slowly been diminishing under the guise of climate change and other sorry excuses.
I could go on but you get the point......

I feel for you. With no hunting, there's no reason to own a gun is what happens next.
In the words from the late Charlton Heston, "From My Cold Dead Hands"!
I see the path, and I think you're right, that IS the plan.
I have a canoe that I've been trying to sell. It would be perfect for somebody looking for a boating accident and all their guns fell overboard.

As said the population will explode in just a few years leading to increased wildlife collisions and the animals becoming more domestic as they push out into human populated areas. They won't like it when their auto insurance cost goes up, deer are eating all their landscape and they end up having to spend tax dollars to feed the herds or watch them starve. Eventually nature will do what it always does and disease will create a massive kill off.
I think you give those kind of people too much credit. They would never make the connections, or at least not admit it if they did.
Where in CT are you? I'm down near new haven but I dont really see many out and about.
Northeast CT. They are everywhere here.
Indeed. They aren’t intelligent or introspective enough to connect the dots.

Fortunately for us most of them are childless cat ladies so they won’t be contributing to that circle either
Then they'll ban the sale and consumption of meat.

I saw this same thing being pushed in the 80s-90s. Also, these same groups are attempting to ban fishing, and are now using the “lead weight” scare to advance their cause.
Taking wildlife management authority away from the professionals at the state agencies and putting it on a ballot initiative where any idiot with a valid voter registration can over ride the WMA professionals is just stupid.
