blacktailslayer Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Now is the time for all hunters who do not like our Forest Plan & Management and Game Population Numbers. There is limited time left 1/20/2017 to review the Draft Northwest Forest Plan science synthesis and add public input. It would be great if OHA would send comments so more focus on early seral and early succession habitat to benefit deer and elk that should also be priority species with the NW Forest Plan. OHA could also mention that pollinators and 32 species of birds in the NW require or use these types of habitats as well. We need more openings and sunlight hitting the ground for grass and shrub communities in our forests. These comments would be for Chapter 3. Chapter 8 comments (Socioeconomic) should talk about how hunting because of deer and elk numbers benefits local communities, wildlife & habitat management from tags license sales plus hunting NGO’s donating funds for habitat projects that benefit not only deer and elk but numerous species.

wtnhunt Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I try to contact my state wildlife officials every year. I suppose i could cut and paste the email i sent the twra regarding deer numbers liberal doe harvests and buck limits, afraid that probably wouldn't help Oregon folks too much though.
