Hunting Oregon is a complete hunting guide, covering waterfowl on up to big game. It is full of information and very well put together. It is written for, but not limited to, Oregon Hunters. All those who appreciate hunting will be delighted to see this book, packed with fantastic photos of game in their habitats and hunters in action. There is information ranging from shot selection for birds, Oregon unit maps and capturing your trophies on film. It gives complete instruction on caring for big game meat, and field care of trophies to aid your taxidermist. You'll find information for rifle, archery and muzzle-loaders. This comprehensive guide even includes recipes! A GREAT BOOK FOR HUNTERS, FROM ANY STATE!

I had high hopes for this book, having just moved to Oregon from Colorado. First off, this "book" is more like a magazine in size and quality, although the cost is $15.00. Having read the book description, I was led to believe that there would be lots of information on "where to go" for big game hunting in Oregon. Much to my disappoinment, there is much more information on survival skills in the Oregon woods, availalable big game animals (types, species, etc), Oregon weather and stories from local hunters. No information on wildlife areas, BLM lands...nothing !! Also, the apparent lack of maps in this book is really, really disappointing. The book actually seems more like it was written for elemetary school children who know nothing of hunting than for serious hunters who want to know where to go inb Oregon. The photos, what few there are, are of extremely poor qulity and black and white. Not worth the money.

I found "Hunting Oregon" to be a very good read. It was hard to put it down. Because I am an avid hunter I found myself gobbling up as many chapters as I could before I had to give my eyes a break. For those not familiar with hunting in Oregon or those wishing to bone up on the different species - THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ!

Being interested in taking up hunting, I found Hunting Oregon quite informative as well as enjoyable reading. The full color photos were great!
