Quick reminder: the deltawaterfowl.org QuickPolls are fun and informative. Go here and take one or more, and leave your comments too. If you want to talk about the subject on my nationally-syndicated radio show, here’s a good way to do it. You might win some great DW stuff, too!
Right now, I’m looking for your best – and worst – stories about hunting and fishing partners and what they’ve brought on trips. What strange, smelly, annoying things have shared your truck, duck blind, or tent? Your vote hasn’t been submitted yet! Make your feelings known, and check back often for new polls.

Scott,
Please email a few suggestions, thanks.

Scott–
I have been planning a 50th birthday hunt for several years now, I just turned 56. We have a 2nd home in Redmond in the Eagle Crest area. This October 9th is opening Chucker for Oregon. We have heard the gorges on the bottom part of Lake Billy Chinook is a very promising area. Need your thoughts! Would you like to be my guest?
Steve
Can’t wait to get a report on that spot. Please keep me in the loop. Private email also sent. If you spill the beans on my secret spots, there will be a knock on your door late one night. (Attn: Lab owners … that was a joke.)
1. Kauai
2. Bb dogs (mixed breed)
3. Pig hunting
4. No pig scent!
5. Rainiest place on the planet!
Looks like you’ve got inside information.
I have a question about your column in the Central Electric Ruralite magazine. Is this a good way to ask?
Ask away!
I live in Oregon, I heard you on the radio today and it sounded to me like you wanted new or more taxes for conservation.
I do not want to to pay new or taxes and don’t know anyone that does. some of my friends say they may not next year because the cost of licence and tags are too high.
I don’t beleive our state does a good job of manageing wildlife
or spending our tax dollars wise, we pay too much now.
some people need to wake up and smell the coffee
Understandable, Darrell, but don’t you think the freeloaders who kayak, camp, hike, and take photos of wildlife should pay for habitat and management too? Right now, your license dollars pay for watchable wildlife projects throughout Oregon … yet the Audoboners and tree huggers don’t contribute a cent. Every time a kayaker paddles through your favorite fishing hole and asks if you’re “catchin’ any?” he’s using a resource you are supporting with your salmon tag money. Isn’t there an element of fairness to consider?
And if you want to keep your (my) license and tag fees affordable, why not spread the cost to those who aren’t paying now … hikers, paddlers, mountain bikers, and bird watchers?
