I'm a hunter and I've seen a drastic reduction of game animals in many hunting units.

The value of the human life must not be compared to an animal. This is obvious, and the refusal to take action on the account of life taken or risked is simply dilliberate denial to this ramafication.

It's the only way to actually be able to find and kill a cougar when hunting them

While we may be encroaching on their lives, we have to save ourselves and our pets from their search for food.

Because our woods are infested with them. Wildlife officials ( ODFW ) dont like to talk about it like a dirty little secret.

Yes hounds should be used again because we are talking about human lives versus animal lives. Human lives should be considered first.

making heavy reduction of game animals. The state uses dogs to hunt and control over population and nuisance cats. They hire professional hunter where hunters could get population down with use of dog

To have healthy elk and deer numbers predation needs to be controlledTags issued to hound hunters were very effective in the control of these large preadators

They are frequenting neighborhoods, and killing livestock again, there are too many. Something has to be done. First adult, next a child!?

I agree with Leslie (again). it's inhumane, except for trackig a suspected killer cat.

Hunting with hounds isn't sport hunting.

I'm not even sure the one that is suspected of killing the woman really did it. They have found no trace or scent to say one was there. Maybe murder by pitbull ?

Humans are the very reason this happens. We are encroaching on their territory.

It's wrong. Inhumane. BUT... in case you need to track a specific cat as it attacked someone, I would say it's ok.

We should all be in favor of anything that creates a safer community for all of us, regardless of political affiliation. Since our federal funds have been decreased, we need another form of revenue to supplement our fire fighting revenue.

Do you not value trees and animals? Do you understand how precious the forest is for all of us? This is not a partisan issue. It's a matter of how we value life of all kinds, animal and humans alike. Please think about your words before speaking.

The federal budget deficit would be EASILY diminished if the Rs in Congress would vote to make the tax system fairer by making the top richest pay their fair share. But they won't. They'd rather take from the poor+ middle class and sale public lands vs. doing the obvious and fairest remedy!!

It is a shameful idea. These lands belong to all of us, and are not for sale.

Hey, If Mike Lee wants to sell Utah's public lands, see how his constituents like it with theirs. Stay away from Oregon and the other states who don't like it. If Trump wants his big ugly bill to pass, reimburse the government for what the taxpayers pay for his golfing at his resorts + his parade.

This would be a crime and one that is irreversible. If Trump needed the money so bad, maybe he shouldn’t have spent our hard-earned tax money on his birthday parade. I am a public land owner and I oppose this proposition. How dare Mike Lee try pulling off this crap on us. We’re not stupid.

Public lands are our heritage due to the foresight of great individuals. Only those interested in profiteering propose and support the rape of Oregon and public properties.
