Aside from the HSC, one of the first things you need to do is visit Oregon's Hunting website and find laws concerning draws or allocation of species hunting tags and when those privileges are distributed. Next, check length of residency requirements so that you will know if you're eligible to hunt in the coming year. These possible limitations may impact your learning process.

Learned another lesson this weekend since I didn't prepare for the after the shot part of the hunt. I figured you could use this lesson to better prepare yourself.

excellent advice and i do the same thing. Why learn thru trial and error when some of the greatest of all time in any given subject can be your personal mentor. I have a hunting and shooting library that must exceed 50 books and its always growing.
