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.

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.

I am glad that we were Blue over all on the West coast. Those flyover states have too much say.

I prefer metering to increasing the number of lanes. More than one lane makes roundabouts much more dangerous to navigate, especially with drivers who are not locals and do not understand how roundabouts work. 2 lanes = many more accidents plus 2 lanes need to be a much larger diameter for safety.

If it weren’t so maddening, our City counselors would make for a cast in a Monty Python show. They befuddle themselves with ludicrous ideas and foist them onto the taxpayers. Bend is becoming a laughing stock to outsiders and a source of continual angst for the residents.

Isn't that why they put the round about in because stop lights were going to cost to much????? Just saying.

doesn't this defeat the purpose of a roundabout? might as well make it a regular intersection with lights.

If people used the roundabout correctly and actually filled in the gaps and went when there was an opening it would flow just fine. People wait for a bus sized gap before they go.

The people coming from the Old Mill Never Cease coming. Traffic is backed up to Bill Healy bridge everyday. At least in the winter.

A roundabout's primary purpose in traffic management is to improve safety and traffic flow, resulting in less congestion and fewer accidents compared to traditional stoplight intersections. Key words: Flow, less congestion and Stoplights. Now they want to add Stoplights!!! City waste at its Best!

The point of the roundabouts was to get rid of lights

What's the point of having a light at a roundabout? The point of a roundabout is to get rid of the lights. Widen it and start growing for the people coming here. The way bend builds, everything is obsolete by the time it's done.

I drive through this around about several times everyday and it is never an issue very rarely. Is it an issue? The reason they put roundabouts in for the first place was to get rid of stop lights and stop signs
