Hey guys, I moved to Oregon 6 months ago and just got my sportsman's pack. When I was doing the transaction the clerk asked if I wanted an archery or a rifle deer tag... I, being ill-informed said what does that mean? Well, it means you can either have an archery tag or a rifle tag. I cannot have both... hmmm... Now this goes for deer and elk. You are allowed one tag for each animal, either archery or rifle. The archery seasons overlap. My question to everyone is what would they do in my shoes. Get an archery buck tag for a month and a rifle bull elk tag for three days.Or, An archery elk tag for a month and a buck tag for a month. Because the archery seasons overlap I would rather not limit myself to one month of archery hunting for both animals because of work time constraints...
Right now the regs state I need a 50# bow for elk, 40 for deer. I only have a 40#. So I would need to acquire another bow and arrows and practice, when I don't really have the money for that. (I guess I could trade for a different bow...)
Hope this post makes some sense...
