2013-2014 OREGON
GAME BIRD REGULATIONS
For All Migratory Game Bird, Upland Game Bird and Crow
Hunting Seasons From September 1, 2013 Through May 31, 2014
and Other Associated Regulations
See what's new for 2013-2014 on page 6.
Director’s Message
Take someone hunting!
When was the last time you took someone new hunting? We’re making it easier to take your
kids, family and friends hunting—even if they are just in for a few days from out of state.
New this season, the 3-Day Non-Resident License now covers turkey, mourning dove, bandtailed pigeon and snipe hunting. So why not take advantage of our fall turkey season on the
westside, and put a wild turkey on the table this Thanksgiving?
Thousands of kids have tried hunting under our Mentored Youth program, which lets them
hunt under the close supervision of an adult without first passing hunter education. So take
your own children, nieces, nephews or friend’s children out using this program.
A great way to reward the kids in your life who have taken the time to complete hunter
education is to supervise them at one of the pheasant hunting clinics ODFW hosts at 12
locations around the state during September. We stock birds at these special hunts and the kids get out in the field
before regular pheasant seasons open. See page 22 for details.
Perhaps you have some adult friends or family members who want to try hunting? Steer them to one of our hunting
workshops for adults, which are perfect for beginners because we provide all the gear, including firearms. This year we’ll
be hosting additional workshops at wildlife areas on the westside and in Klamath Falls. See page 23 for details.
New regulation changes mean more opportunity for migratory bird hunters
Goose hunters will see more birds in their bag this fall since bag limits for Canada and white-geese have been separated
and hunters in most areas will be able to take 4 Canada and 6 white-fronted geese per day. White goose hunting is also
allowed for limited hunt days on Sauvie Island Wildlife Area—hunters will need a NW Goose Permit and all NW Permit
Zone regulations apply.
In more good news, the possession limit for migratory game birds has been increased to 3X the daily bag limit (up from
2X). So if you have never traveled to a wildlife area, federal refuge or other new spot to hunt, perhaps this is the year to
try.
Give us your feedback on our hunting areas
Do you hunt at one of our upland or waterfowl oriented Wildlife Manamement Areas, or the Columbia
River? Over the next year we will be reviewing upland and migratory game bird hunt programs,
including reservation procedures, at several of our wildlife areas. We will also be reviewing the size and
scope of the current waterfowl closure in the Columbia River between Celilo to Arlington. Please share
your ideas on changes you would like to see or other issues by getting in touch with our new Migratory
Bird Program Coordinator, Brandon Reishus, brandon.s.reishus@state.or.us. You can also email Brandon
and request that your email is added to his Migratory Game Bird Regulation updates list.
Upland bird seasons should look very familiar this year as these seasons operate
under a five-year framework in order to maintain consistency. The last framework
was set in 2010, which means that in 2014 we’ll begin developing the framework
for 2015-2020. Email our Upland Game Bird Coordinator, Dave Budeau,
(david.a.budeau@state.or.us) if you have suggestions or want to be kept up to
speed on what’s happening with the new framework.

Another thing we appreciate is seeing photos from your experience. Upload a photo through our
website and tell us what you are up to—you might just wind up on the cover of our next regulations
booklet!

HUNTERS: RETAIN YOUR 2013 HUNTING LICENSE
FOR YOUR HUNTER/ANGLER ID NUMBER
License agents can no longer look up customers on the POS system by social security number. A Hunter/
Angler ID Number is printed on all licenses, tags and permits. This permanent ID number is the primary identifier
for individual hunters and anglers in ODFW’s licensing system. Accumulated preference points for big game
controlled hunts will be tracked using the Hunter/Angler ID Number.

throughout the state, online or through ODFW’s Salem headquarters office by mail, fax, or in person.
ALL HUNTERS
■ Every hunter must have in his or her possession a valid hunting license (See below for specific category types). (See exceptions
for youths participating in the Mentored Youth Hunter Program on page 44.)
■ No hunter may possess more than one valid Oregon hunting license. However, for the purpose of acquiring preference points
under the controlled hunts system and hunting big game, a youth between the ages of 9 and 13 may hold both a free youth license
and a juvenile hunting license.
■ Annual hunting licenses are valid through Dec. 31 of each year. Hunts extending into the following calendar year require a new
hunting license.
■ Any hunter with a valid Oregon or Idaho license may hunt in the waters or on the islands of the Snake River, where the river forms
the boundary between Oregon and Idaho. All laws and rules of the respective states apply.
■ To hunt the Oregon portion of the Columbia River, including that portion of the Lewis and Clark National Wildlife Refuge and other
islands in Oregon in the Columbia River, hunters must possess a valid Oregon Resident or Oregon Nonresident Hunting License.
■ Game bird hunters must obtain a FREE HIP (Harvest Information Program) validation. See page 9-10 for requirements, detailed
HIP information and how to become HIP validated.
» To obtain a HIP validation, hunters may go to any license agent, obtain online or mail the game bird application order form to
ODFW (page 46).
» A separate validation is needed on game bird licenses to hunt crow.
■ Depending on the species of bird you are hunting, you must have a federal waterfowl stamp and/or state game bird validations to hunt (page 9).
» Federal stamps and state validations are in effect from Jul. 1 - Jun. 30 of the following year.
» Any person 16 years of age or older must have a signed (in ink across the face), valid federal waterfowl stamp in his or her
possession to hunt ducks and geese.
» No federal waterfowl stamp is required for bandtail pigeon, mouring dove, crow, coot or snipe hunting.
■ To hunt band-tailed pigeons, black brant, sea ducks or NW Oregon geese, a separate permit for each is required (page 9 and 18).
OREGON RESIDENTS
■ Oregon residents must obtain a resident hunting, combination or Sports Pac license to hunt in Oregon.
» Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 635-010-0015(4)(a) provides the legal standard for purchasing a resident license: “A
resident is one who has physically dwelled in Oregon continuously for the six months prior to applying for a license. Temporary
absences from Oregon during that time period do not defeat a person’s residency so long as such absences were not for the
purpose of establishing residency outside Oregon." The legal requirement is implemented by this certification that a license
applicant must sign: “I, the undersigned, hereby certify and declare that the information I have provided to obtain this license is
true. To acquire an Oregon resident license/tag I certify that I have resided continuously within Oregon no less than 6 months
immediately prior to applying for this license/tag. I have resided in Oregon for ___ Years ___ Months. I acknowledge this license
was issued as requested and understand that no refund will be made.”
» These requirements are waived for certain active members of the armed forces and for some foreign exchange students (see
OAR 635-010-0015(4) for details). Submitting a false application is a crime.
» Resident hunters 9-17 years of age can buy a juvenile license at a reduced fee. All others (18 years of age or older) must purchase a regular hunting license.
» For hunters 13 years of age and younger, please refer to Youth section below.
■ Oregon residents must obtain appropriate validations to hunt in Oregon.
» SPORTS PAC LICENSE HOLDERS MUST OBTAIN CURRENT GAME BIRD AND HIP VALIDATIONS ON JULY 1 OR LATER.
» Residents 14 years of age or older must have a state waterfowl validation included on their hunting license and in their possession to hunt ducks, mergansers, geese and coots. See information on federal stamp requirements above.
» Residents 14 years of age or older must have a state upland game bird validation included on their hunting license and in their
possession to hunt pheasant, grouse, quail and partridge.
YOUTH (RESIDENT AND NONRESIDENT)
■ Obtain a hunting license.
» All hunters 13 years of age and under must obtain a FREE youth license (to hunt game birds and small game only). This youth
license is required for participation in HIP.
» Youths 13 years of age and under while hunting on property other than their own must be accompanied by an adult 21 years of
age or older.
» Hunters 9 -17 years of age can buy a juvenile license at a reduced fee. All others need to purchase a regular hunting license.
■ Tag and application requirements
» Youths 13 years of age and under are required to obtain a FREE license or purchase a juvenile license in order to purchase
a black brant permit, band-tailed pigeon permit, sea duck permit, turkey tags or apply for sage-grouse permits and waterfowl
reservation hunts.
■ All youths 17 years of age and younger must have a Hunter Education Certificate or a department issued document (ex. hunting license) which includes their Hunter Education Certificate Number in their possession to hunt anywhere except on their own land or
land owned by their parent or legal guardian. For Hunter Education class information or to obtain a replacement copy of a hunter
safety card, call the Hunter Education office in Salem at 503-947-6028.

■ A 3-Day Nonresident Hunting License for game birds and crow is valid for three consecutive days.
» Applicable validations, permits and tags are required along with this hunting license.
» This license is not valid to apply for controlled bird hunts. To apply for controlled bird hunts, a regular nonresident hunting
license is required.
■ Nonresidents 14 years of age or older must have a game bird validation included on their hunting license and in their possession
to hunt ducks, mergansers, geese, coots, pheasants, grouse, quail and partridge.
LANDOWNERS
■ Obtain a hunting license.
» Resident landowners can obtain a FREE landowner license to hunt game birds on their own property, except for black brant,
band-tailed pigeon, sea duck, sage-grouse and turkey (spring and fall). For these hunt types, a regular hunting license is
required for landowners hunting on their own property.
■ Obtain appropriate validations
» Required to participate in HIP (see ALL HUNTERS on page 8).
» Residents 14 years of age or older hunting upland or waterfowl, see ALL HUNTERS and OREGON RESIDENTS for specific information.
» Nonresidents 14 years of age or older hunting upland or waterfowl, see ALL HUNTERS and NONRESIDENTS for specific information.

Hunters - please carefully note the following information:
1. State validations (waterfowl, upland game bird, or nonresident game bird) can be obtained at license agent outlets, online or through mail order
(Salem headquarters office only). Having an actual state stamp in possession while hunting is not a requirement. The validation on the
license authorizes you to hunt. Federal waterfowl stamps are still required to be signed in ink across the face and be in possession while in
the field. Federal stamps may be purchased at most ODFW offices and U.S. Post Offices and some sporting stores.
2. Applications for game bird hunting will be through license agents, online or mail order (see page 45). This is the same as for big game controlled hunt
procedures.
3. A Sports Pac License holder must return to any license agent on Jul. 1 or later to obtain current validations in order to legally hunt in the seasons specified
in this booklet. Validations received before July1 are only applicable to previous seasons. Your license must be updated on or after July 1 of each year.

HARVEST INFORMATION PROGRAM HIP
Be HIP When You Hunt In Oregon!
What is HIP? HIP stands for Harvest Information Program. Do you hunt doves, crows, snipe, ducks, geese, coot, pheasant,
quail, chukar, Hungarian (Gray) partridge, "blue" grouse, or ruffed grouse in Oregon? If so, you must be HIP validated on your license
before you go hunting. When buying a hunting license, you will be asked if you intend to hunt any game birds during the upcoming
hunting seasons. When answered, “Yes”, you will then be asked a few simple questions about your hunting success last year. When
this process is completed your license will indicate that you are “HIP Validated”. To legally hunt for crow you must answer, “Yes” to
the question pertaining to those species and a separate validation for those species must appear on your license. Refer to the HIP
worksheet on page 46. That’s it! There is no cost to you.
Why collect harvest information? Your participation in this program means that important information will be available
to wildlife professionals to better manage Oregon’s wildlife resources. Hunter participation levels for all species of game birds are
needed to assist in setting regulations and justify future hunting seasons.
How does HIP work? Of the total group of HIP certified waterfowl and other migratory game bird hunters, the USFWS will
select necessary samples of hunters to participate in providing harvest information. Selected hunters will receive hunter record cards
prior to hunting seasons or soon thereafter. Hunters will be asked to record their daily harvest of birds and return the completed record
card at the end of the hunting season. For upland game bird hunters, ODFW personnel select samples of hunters to survey. These
surveys will provide much more accurate harvest information than previous surveys and will make it possible to more accurately
determine the status and needs of all our game bird resources.
Thanks! Your cooperation is essential to responsible resource management and is greatly appreciated by all those who
enjoy our game bird resources.

a person knows or reasonably should know
that the area has been baited. A baited
area is considered to be baited for 10 days
after complete removal of any bait. Baiting
includes placing, exposing, depositing, distributing, or scattering of salt, grain, or other
feed that could serve as a lure or attraction
for game birds to, on, or over areas where
hunters are attempting to take them.
DISGUISING SEX
No person shall disguise the sex or kind
of any game bird. The feathered head
must be left attached to all upland game
birds in the field or while in transit to the
place of permanent residence of the possessor.The head or one fully feathered
wing must be left attached to all waterfowl,
snipe, doves and pigeons in the field or

RETRIEVAL/WASTE
All game birds killed or crippled must
be retrieved immediately, if possible,
and kept by the hunter in the field. All
crippled birds reduced to possession must
be immediately killed. Waste means to allow
any edible portion of any game bird to be
rendered unfit for human consumption, or to
fail to retrieve edible portions except internal
organs of such game birds from the field.

FIELD DRESSING OF GAME BIRDS  WHAT'S LEGAL?
Hunters understand the importance to care for meat while in the field to protect it from spoiling. However, what is not understood
by many is the legal requirements necessary to transport dressed birds from the field. Some hunters commonly practice “breasting”
birds out and discarding the rest of the carcass while still in the field. This is not legal and hunters need to note the following:
■ For upland game birds the feathered head must be left attached to all birds while in the field or traveling home.
■ For waterfowl, snipe, doves and pigeons a feathered head or wing must be left attached to all birds while in the field or
traveling home. Further restrictions apply to the NW Oregon Permit Goose Zone, see page 19.
So why is this necessary? There are many restrictions on sex and species of birds that can be included in your daily bag. Leaving
a head or wing attached allows law enforcement personnel to identify the birds taken by a hunter. You can be cited if it is not
possible to determine the types of birds taken.
Also, it is important to note that the hunter must retain all edible portions of the carcass. The practice of taking only portions of
the meat of a game bird (such as breasting birds out) is illegal. Pages 10-11 of this booklet outlines the important regulations for
hunting game birds in Oregon. Please familiarize yourself with all these regulations.
Be safe, be responsible and be legal.

protects the dusky Canada goose
population that winters in this region,
while allowing harvest of more numerous
subspecies such as cackling,Taverner’s
and western Canada geese. Most goose
hunting is on private lands; therefore,
always ask landowner permission before
entering private lands.
CLOSED AREAS
The following areas are closed to goose
hunting during the permit season:
■ Fern Ridge WA (including Fern Ridge
Reservoir and all Corps of Engineers
lands in the Fern Ridge Project)
■ E.E. Wilson WA

Pages 18-20
Only persons who have passed a goose
identification test provided by the Oregon
or Washington Departments of Fish and
Wildlife from 1996 -2014 may be certified
to hunt geese. Hunters must possess a
valid Oregon 2013/14 NW Goose Permit
and Daily NW Goose Harvest Report
Form while hunting geese. The permit will
be valid until the permit holder has taken
the season limit of one dusky Canada
goose or has committed one of the
following violations:
■ Hunting geese on closed days.
■ Failure to have a valid daily harvest
report form in possession while
hunting.
■ Failure to immediately record goose
NORTHWEST OREGON GOOSE TEST
All goose hunters in the Northwest General Zone, in addition to the Northwest Permit Zone, are required to pass the Northwest
Oregon Goose Test and carry their Northwest Goose permit while goose hunting. Northwest General Zone goose hunters do not
need to carry a goose harvest card and do not need to check geese at check stations. Northwest General Zone hunters need to
observe the shooting hours on page 13 and should avoid shooting dusky geese.
To take the Northwest Oregon Goose Test, please visit our Web site at: www.dfw.state.or.us/resources/hunting/waterfowl/goosepermits to take an online exam. If you have previously passed the exam and your permit has not been invalidated you do not need to
retake this exam. Hunters must have a Hunter/Angler ID number prior to taking the exam. If you have never had a number assigned
to you by purchasing an Oregon hunting or fishing license, please email license.services@state.or.us or call 503-947-6100. When
emailing, please include your full name, gender, date of birth, resident and mailing address, telephone number and note if you are
a resident or nonresident. Any hunter wishing to review training materials to prepare for the exam may download them from the
department’s goose testing Web site at the above address. A text only version of the study guide may be requested by calling 503947-6301 and the video (or a DVD), “Pacific Northwest Goose Management,” is available for $10 plus $2 shipping and handling by
calling 1-800-845-9448 (Visa and Mastercard only...no checks or cash). The training materials will greatly enhance your chance of
success in passing the examination. Persons who do not have the ability to take an online test should call 503-947-6324 to arrange
an appointment to take an exam in-person.
You will receive notification of your test results immediately. If you successfully pass the exam, you may obtain your permit from any
POS agent three days after passing your test. You have up to three chances per season to pass the exam with 80% correct or better.
Individual test scores will not be made available.
The Department encourages hunters
to not purposefully target
collared geese.
In most cases these birds are part of important
flyway research or population assessments that
are used to set hunting regulations. In addition,
hunters are encouraged to refrain from looking
for leg bands on landing or standing geese and
then shooting those individual birds. Purposeful
targeting of marked birds will lead to:
™ Increased uncertainty about population size by removing
collared birds. Collars are commonly placed on birds as a way
of estimating population size.
™ Over estimation of harvest and under estimation of survival
rates will occur by purposefully harvesting individuals

wearing leg bands. If a bird is marked with a leg band
only, the bird is likely part of a study to determine the
harvest rate or a survival estimate for population. This
can also have impacts on duck harvest estimations.
Both of these have the potential to reduce hunter opportunity through reduced bag limits and or season length
because of uncertainties of population status and harvest
rates. In very limited cases, managers may ask hunters to
take collared birds to increase harvest. Further information can be obtained at any department hunter check
station or on our website.
The Department realizes most bands and some collars
are not observed before a hunter takes a bird, and it is
perfectly acceptable to take a marked bird in this way.
If you do take a marked bird please be sure to report the band
and or collar information to the United States Geological
Survey’s Bird Banding Lab by calling 1-800-327-BAND (2263) or
by reporting it via the internet at www.reportband.gov

BLUE-GREEN ALGAE POISONING
Blue-green algae produce a toxin that has caused mortalities
in bighorn sheep, elk, deer, and upland birds. The same
toxins can also affect domestic animals including hunting
dogs and livestock. Stagnant or slow moving water sources
and water temperatures help blue-green algae to creat
"blooms" that can devastating consequences for your
hunting dog should they become exposed. Although algal
blooms may be visible, the toxins they can produce are not.
Bloom can be so dense that the water appears blue-green,
pea green or reddish brown with visible scum or foam on the
surface. As a precaution against blue-green algae poisoning
and other pathogens like giardia, hunters and their dogs
should never drink untreated, standing water. Hunters should
carry water for their dogs if they will be spending extended
time afield, and should keep dogs from entering water in or
near an identified bloom. Since dogs lick their coats after
being inthe water, they can be adversely exposed through
the secondary route. Hunters that find large numbers of dead
animals near water sources are asked to report the incident
to the nearest ODFW office.

HUNTER ADVISORIES FOR WILDLIFE AREAS
WILDIFE AREA PARKING PERMIT PROGRAM – Effective
January 1, 2014, ODFW will expand the current Wildlife Area
Parking Permit Program to include six more wildlife areas
(Coyote Springs, Elkhorn, Jewell Meadows, Irrigon, Power City
and Willow Creek). These will be in addition to the nine areas
already in the program: EE Wilson, Ken Denman, Fern Ridge,
Klamath, Ladd Marsh, Phillip W. Schneider, Sauvie Island,
Summer Lake and White River. A parking permit will be required
for each vehicle on these Wildlife Areas. A free annual permit
will be included with the purchase of any hunting license and the
Habitat Conservation Stamp. All other Wildlife Area users will
be required to purchase a permit: daily permits ($7) and annual
permits ($22) will be available where fishing and hunting licenses
are sold and on the ODFW’s website, www.dfw.state.or.us.
ANTICIPATED WETLAND CONDITIONS FOR FALL 2013
Hunters should be aware that due to dry conditions this
year wetlands on some wildlife areas which are normally
flooded early in the waterfowl season may be dry or at very
low levels this fall and may not provide good early season
hunting opportunities. In many instances conditions will not
improve until fall rains arrive. For information on conditions at
a specific wildlife area please call the area’s headquarters at
the phone numbers found on pages (34-37).
SUMMER LAKE WA – Management programs on Summer
Lake WA may impact hunting opportunities during waterfowl
hunting seasons. Efforts to rehabilitate portions of the wetlands
to provide long term habitat benefits to a multitude of waterfowl
and other waterbirds, have required dewatering of certain
areas and actively controlling overgrown vegetation. Water
was withdrawn from Bullgate Refuge unit this summer. Active
vegetation control occurs once wetlands are dry. While efforts
are underway to bring water back to all areas as soon as
possible some portions of the wildlife area may be dry and not
provide good hunting opportunities early in the season.
Bullgate Refuge and eastern portion of Between The Dikes along
Bullgate Dike including portions of Bullgate Units will be held dry
during the early part of 2013/14 hunting season with re-flooding
anticipated in mid to late November. The northeastern shore of
Summer Lake proper off the tip of Bullgate Dike will be dry or at a
very low water level as well. Hunters need to be aware over-water
and pond hunting opportunities will be affected in this 2,000 acre
area. This will not affect field hunting opportunities.
In addition, construction activities may occur during the early
part of the hunting season in Bullgate Refuge and on Bullgate
Dike during October and November 2013.
The northern portion of Bullgate Refuge that was previously
open will return to closed to hunting status and be held dry
most of the season to facilitate dike and levee repairs.

wildlife area office or on the ODFW Web site, www.dfw.state.or.us.
KLAMATH WA – Management programs on the Klamath
Wildlife Area-Miller Island Unit will impact waterfowl hunter
access during the 2013/14 waterfowl seasons. Efforts to
rehabilitate portions of the marshlands around the Miller
Island Unit, to improve long-term habitat benefits to a
multitude of waterfowl species will require dewatering certain
wetlands and actively controlling overgrown vegetation. While
efforts will be to bring water back to all areas as soon as
feasible, some portions of the unit may be dry and will not
provide good hunting opportunities throughout the season.
Emergent vegetation on the larger Gorr Island may be burned
either late fall of 2013 or early winter of 2014 to enhance
green forage production for spring migrating geese.
About 120 acres in the southern portion of Subunit B, south
of the boat ramp, will be dry for the duration of the month
of October. Plans are to re-flood it in early November.
Approximately 41 acres in the northern portion of Subunit
C, on the west side of the slough, will be dry for the month
of October. Plans are to re-flood it in early November. Overwater hunting will be impacted in the portion of the hunt
units which have been dewatered. Field hunting activities will
not be impacted. The vast majority of the Miller Island Unit
will still provide adequate water habitats for attracting birds.
Maps showing impacted areas are available at the wildlife
area office or on the ODFW Web site, www.dfw.state.or.us.
Additional activities may occur in 2013/14. Rehabilitated
marshes will provide important food sources for birds in
coming years and will greatly benefit hunters in the long term.
Phone: 541-883-5734.
WILDLIFE AREA HUNT PROGRAM REVIEW – Over
the next year, ODFW will be reviewing upland and
migratory game bird hunt programs, including reservation
procedures at Fern Ridge, Klamath, Ladd Marsh, Sauvie
Island and Summer Lake Wildlife Areas. We will also be
reviewing the size and scope of the current waterfowl
hunting closure in the Columbia River between Celilo to
Arlington. Please share your ideas on changes you would
like to see—or what you really don’t want changed—by
getting in touch with our Migratory Game Bird Program
Coordinator, Brandon Reishus, Brandon.S.Reishus@
state.or.us. Proposals will be available for public review in
February 2014. Please see our web site at www.dfw.state.
or.us/resources/hunting/waterfowl. Any proposals will be
brought forward at the August 2014 Commission meeting
for adoption.

ACCESS AREA PROGRAMS
ODFW provides public hunting access to millions of acres of
private land through the three access programs described
below.
Participating properties will be identified with signs similar to
those shown on the right. Our interactive mapping program
shows locations and detailed information for many Access
Areas and other public hunting opportunities:
www.OregonHuntingMap.com
Please remember that hunting on private lands is a privilege,
not a right. Private land hunting opportunities will remain in
the future only if the property and rights of private landowners
are respected.
ACCESS AND HABITAT PROGRAM
In 1993, the Oregon Legislature created the Access and Habitat
(A&H) Program to improve public hunting access and wildlife
habitat on private lands in Oregon. The basic mission of the
A&H Program is to foster partnerships between landowners
and hunters while recognizing and encouraging the important
benefits they provide to the state’s fish and wildlife resources.
The A&H Program provides grants to private landowners, timber
and agriculture corporations, sports groups, natural resource
agencies, and others for projects designed to improve wildlife
habitat and/or increase public hunting access to private lands.
Since the program’s inception, A&H has provided hunting access
to over eight million acres of private land and has improved over
one million acres of wildlife habitat in Oregon. The legislature
has authorized the A&H program through 2019.
The A&H Program was recently awarded a $1.6 million grant
from the USDA’s Farm Service Agency that supports two new
hunting access programs. Collectively referred to as Oregon
Open Fields, these programs expand upland hunting access
in the Columbia Basin and provide public goose hunting
opportunities in the Willamette Valley. Please visit www.
OregonOpenFields.com for the latest information on these
programs.
For details on by-permission hunting opportunities, or for general
program information, please visit the Access and Habitat web
site at: www.dfw.state.or.us/AH or contact the A&H Program
Coordinator at 503-947-6087.
REGULATED HUNT AREAS IN THE COLUMBIA BASIN
The Regulated Hunt Area (RHA) is a cooperative program between
ODFW and landowners to allow regulated hunting on private lands.
Heppner RHA – This RHA provides access for big game and
upland bird hunting opportunities. Open fires and camping
prohibited in posted areas. Closed to motor vehicle use year-round
unless posted otherwise. Approximately 63 sq mi in T2, 3, and 5S
and R25, 26, 27, and 28E.
The Columbia Rvr and Port of Morrow RHAs near Boardman in
Morrow Co provide opportunities for public access and hunting for
upland game birds and waterfowl. These areas are also subject to
year-round rd closures. The following are prohibited:
■ Driving or being transported on other than open rds shown on
the RHA map.
■ Hunting, entering, or shooting across closed areas and
safety zones.
■ Camping (use between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m.), except at
Quesnel Park .
■ Discharging rifles, handguns, or shotguns with slugs, except
by specific ODFW authorization.
■ Placing waterfowl hunting sites closer than 200 yards apart.
■ Leaving decoys set out overnight (10 p.m. to 4 a.m.).
■ Digging pit blinds
Because of landowner concerns for safety and maintenance of
agricultural operations, some areas may be temporarily closed.
Hunter numbers will be limited if crowding occurs.
Columbia Rvr RHA – No entry permit required and open seven
days-a-week. Hunt area boundary: Beginning at the eastern city
limits of Arlington; east on I-84 to Threemile Canyon (mi post
151); north to the north side of the Union Pacific Railroad rightof-way; east on the railroad right-of-way to the boundary of the
Umatilla NWR Boardman Unit; north to the Oregon/Washington
state line; west on the Oregon/Washington state line to a point
due north of the eastern city limits of Arlington; due south to the
point of beginning.
Area is open for game bird, rabbit, and Eurasian collared-doves
only during authorized game bird seasons. It is unlawful to use
or possess shot other than federally-approved nontoxic shot for
all game bird hunting. Camping is allowed only at Quesnel Park
(Threemile Canyon, mi post 151) within the posted safety zone;
not to exceed 7 days in any consecutive 14-day period.
Port of Morrow RHA – Maps available at RHA entrance located
by traveling north on Laurel Rd from exit 165 off I-84, 0.5 mi east

26. Area is open for hunting of game birds and Eurasian collareddoves only during authorized game bird seasons. It is unlawful to
use or possess shot other than federally-approved nontoxic shot.
UPLAND COOPERATIVE ACCESS PROGRAM
Upland Cooperative Access Program – UCAP is an incentive-based program designed to provide quality public hunting
opportunities for upland game birds on private lands in Wasco,
Sherman, Gilliam and Morrow counties in the Columbia Basin.
The UCAP program is flexible to meet individual landowner
needs. Most landowners (83%) provide "Hunting by Permission"
while others (17%) opt for "Welcome to Hunt." It is unlawful to
hunt or enter any posted area without written permission unless
the area is posted as "Welcome to Hunt."
Hunters must take the initiative to locate UCAP properties. The
ODFW contacts listed on this page will provide general directions
and/or a general map of UCAP properties. However, the hunter
is responsible for contacting the landowner to schedule a hunt on
"Hunting by Permission" properties. The extra effort ensures landowners that only responsible hunters are guests on their land.
This Program Involves Trust. ODFW trusts landowners to
provide a reasonable amount of public access. Landowners trust
hunters to remember they are guests on the land, follow the written restrictions, and abide by the spirit of respect and cooperation required to make this program successful.
Regulations for UCAP. It is unlawful to:
■ Use a motorized vehicle on fields, trails and posted roads.
■ Hunt any posted safety zone or enter any “NO PUBLIC
ACCESS” area.
■ Build or use open fires without landowner permission.
■ Use rifles, handguns or shotguns with slugs on any hunt
area unless specific authorization has been given by the
landowner.
ODFW Contacts for questions or comments regarding UCAP:

UPLAND GAME BIRD EMERGENCY CLOSURE PROCEDURES
Irregularly, severe winter conditions can negatively impact segments
of upland game bird populations. There is little that can be done to
alleviate the effects when these conditions occur, including stopping
hunting. In fact, a hunting closure may have the opposite affect by
allowing more birds to compete for what little food may be accessible.
However, when these conditions occur, the stage is set for undesirable social situations. For example, severe weather may concentrate
birds along roads in valley floors allowing unethical hunters to harvest
birds illegally by shooting from vehicles or from the road. In addition, in some parts of eastern Oregon, chukar range coincides with
important, high-density winter ranges for deer, bighorn sheep and elk.
Under harsh winter weather conditions, disturbance to big game by
bird hunters late in the winter can be a concern.
ODFW recognizes the need to consider localized, early closure of
certain game bird seasons during unusually severe winter conditions.
In an effort to provide consistency and more certainty for hunters
and businesses that depend on upland game bird seasons, if the
department implements emergency closures they will take effect on
the 15th or last day of the month. For example, if winter conditions
do not warrant the closure of chukar season on December 31st,
the season will extend through at least January 14th. Similarly, if
the season is not closed on January 15th, hunters will know the
season will extend through January 31st. Closures will be by county
and publicized as widely as possible (newspapers, radio, & ODFW
information line: 503-947-6002 or 1-800-720-6339).
LEAD IN AMMUNITION
Lead is a toxin which can affect wildlife health and can be fatal at higher levels. As early as the 1870’s, ingestion of lead shot
by birds and death from lead poisoning was identified as affecting waterfowl populations. This eventually resulted in federal
bans on the use of lead shot for waterfowl hunting in the United States (1991) and Canada (1999). It is estimated that this
action saved 1.4 million ducks from fatal lead poisoning in 1997 alone. Ingestion of lead shot has also been documented
in 40 non-waterfowl species, including chukars and doves. Predatory and scavenging birds and mammals may ingest lead
shot or bullet fragments when they feed on animals or gut piles containing lead. The consumption of game meat containing
lead fragments may have human health effects for some segments of the population, such as small children and pregnant or
nursing women. The use of lead bullets and shot for hunting and lead sinkers and lures for fishing is coming under increased
scrutiny and regulations are being considered in other states and by some federal agencies. ODFW has been tracking
this issue closely. It has been working with other fish and wildlife agencies around the country to better understand the
impact of lead on wildlife, to learn more about alternatives that may be available, and to understand the potential impact on
hunters, anglers and wildlife management from a ban on lead in ammunition and fishing tackle. The goal is to protect wildlife
populations while minimizing the impact on legal hunting and fishing.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Oregon hunters have a long tradition of wildlife conservation. ODFW urges you to consider reducing your use of lead while
hunting by using non-lead alternatives. If you choose to use lead ammunition or shot while hunting, bury or remove all animal
remains and gut piles from the field. With your help, we can reduce accidental exposure for all wildlife in Oregon through
voluntary efforts.
YOUR OREGON GAME BIRD STAMP DOLLARS AT WORK
Oregon game bird stamps have been providing funds to maintain healthy game
bird populations in the state for more than 20 years. The Oregon migratory
waterfowl stamp began in 1984 and the upland bird stamp followed in 1990. The
stamps (now called license validations) are purchased by game bird hunters in
conjunction with the general hunting license. Collectively, sales of game bird
stamps and related artwork generate nearly $1 million each year. Funds are
used to accomplish a variety of program-related activities, such as game bird
research and banding, equipment purchases and habitat improvement and
conservation projects.
NOXIOUS WEEDS HURT WILDLIFE HABITAT:
PREVENT THEIR SPREAD
Noxious weeds can destroy wildlife habitat. Many are toxic to
foraging wildlife. They can quickly overtake native plants and create a
monoculture inhospitable to wildlife. Some weeds have been proven to
increase runoff and erosion, threatening the water quality for wildlife,
fish and other aquatic species.
A survey of only ten Oregon counties found it would cost $22 million to
control noxious weed infestations. New infestations start every year,
many spread along roads by vehicles. Seeds cling to clothing and may be
transported across Oregon, or even from state to state. Wildlife needs the
help of us all to control this problem. Here are some tips:
■ Learn to identify noxious weeds. Check references at libraries
or look on the internet. Consult with your local county extension
office.
■ Remove weed seed from your clothing. Dispose of seeds by burning in
a campfire or bagging in a sealed plastic bag for trash pick-up.
■ Contain soiled clothes in a laundry bag or other appropriate container until seeds can be removed.
■ Before traveling home, check your vehicle for plants or seeds in
the vehicle bed, grill, undercarriage and doors. If you find weeds,
dispose of them properly.
■ Do not pick flowers or transport plants home.
REPORT NOXIOUS WEED INFESTATIONS BY CALLING 1-866-INVADER
OR CONTACT YOUR LOCAL COUNTY WEED OFFICE.

RESERVATION AND PERMIT APPLICATION
How the controlled hunt drawing
works for game birds:
The computer assigns each application
a 10-digit number. A 10-digit number is
picked at random for each hunt series.
Those random starting numbers are used
by the computer to select successful applicants.
Hunting parties are maintained by the
computer and only the party leader’s 10digit number is used in the drawing.
Tags/Permits/Reservations are awarded
beginning with the applicant whose 10digit number matches (or is closest to and
above) the start number.
The selection continues with the applicant having the next higher number and
continues until all available Tags/Permits/
Reservations are awarded.
Tags/Permits/Reservations are assigned
to first choice applicants as above until all
tags are assigned or all first choices are
filled. Tags/Permits/Reservations are only
assigned to second choice applicants
after all first choices have been filled. This
sequence is followed for 3rd, 4th and 5th
choices.
TO APPLY IN PERSON
1. Visit any license agent.
2. Use the application in this booklet
on page 45 to assist you with the
application process. If you fill it out
ahead of time and take it to the
license agent, it will reduce errors and
the amount of time spent at the outlet.
3. You must have a valid hunting
license to apply, or purchase at the
time of application. Nonresidents: A
3-Day Nonresident Hunting License
is NOT valid to apply for controlled
bird hunts. To apply for controlled
bird hunts, a regular nonresident
hunting license is required.
4. Parties must assign ONE person
as the Party Leader. Each party
member, except the assigned party
leader, must enter the party leader’s
HUNTING LICENSE NUMBER on
his/her application. It is the party
leader’s license number that ties
the party together. All members of a
party must apply, including the party
leader.
5. Verify that all information entered
is what you requested before the
transaction is completed. No tags will
be issued because of agent error.
It is the hunter’s responsibility to
ensure accuracy of applications and
tags. The license agent will give you
an application receipt showing your
hunt choices. You should check it for
accuracy prior to leaving the store
and keep it for proof of application.

HUNTERS...
WE NEED YOUR WINGS AND TAILS
Grouse and mountain quail wings and tails provide
ODFW biologist important information about the health
of populations. Hunters can help by donating a wing and
tail from harvested grouse and mountain quail.

MOUNTAIN QUAIL LOCATIONS NEEDED
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the U.S. Forest Service
are conducting a survey to determine Mountain Quail locations east of the
Cascade Mountains in Oregon.
Please report any observations of Mountain Quail including the date, specific
location (nearest creek, town, road, etc.), county of observation and number of
quail to your local ODFW office or send to:
Dave Budeau, ODFW
4034 Fairview Industrial Dr. SE
Salem, OR 97302
or E-mail
david.a.budeau@state.or.us

Please be sensitive to the needs of
wildlife and livestock and minimize
activities around water sources
that can have impacts on wildlife
and livestock, especially during hot
and dry weather conditions. For
example, avoid camping at or near
waterholes, springs, guzzlers, and
other sources of water that could
disrupt animal use for extended
periods of time. Remember that in
many cases, livestock are constrained
by fences and do not have the
option of moving to alterative
water sources. Many bird species
are dependent on localized water
sources also.

wildlife laws, a person shall provide either:
(1) Written certification from a licensed physician, physician

applicant:
a. Is permanently unable to walk without the use of, or
assistance from, a brace, cane, crutch, prosthetic
device, wheelchair, scooter, or walker;
b. Is restricted by lung disease to the extent that the person’s
forced expiratory volume for one second, when measured
by a spirometer, is less than 35% predicted, or arterial
oxygen tension is less than 55 mm/Hg on room air at rest;
c. Has a cardiac condition to the extent that the person’s
functional limitations are classified in severity as Class
III or Class IV, according to standards established by the
American Heart Association.
d. Has a permanent, physical impairment that prevent the
person from holding or shooting a firearm or bow or from
holding a fishing rod in hand; or
e. Has central visual acuity that permanently does not

(2) Written proof that the last official certification of record by the
United States Department of Veterans Affairs or any branch
of the Armed Forces of the United States shows the person
to be at least 65% disabled (ORS 496. 018).
The Oregon Disabilities Hunting and Fishing Permit is not a
license or tag. Hunters must still obtain a hunting license and
apply for and/or purchase appropriate tags/permits/reservations
prior to specified tag sale deadlines to hunt in game bird and
big game seasons. You must be in possession of your Oregon
Disabilities Hunting and Fishing Permit, license and tags/permits/
reservations while you are hunting.
An able-bodied companion may accompany a person with this
permit and kill any animal wounded by the permit holder. The
companion must immediately attach the permit holder’s tag
to the carcass of the animal. The companion is not required
to possess a hunting license or tag, except that a person
accompanying a visually impaired hunter is required to possess
a valid hunting license.[(OAR 635-065-0090(3)].
The following applies for persons defined in 1(e): “A person who
is not visually impaired and who accompanies a hunter who
possesses an Oregon Disabilities Hunting and Fishing Permit
may: assist the hunter in selecting a game animal or bird; assist
the aiming or sighting of a firearm; advise the hunter when to fire a
firearm; shoot a game animal or bird on behalf of the hunter while
in the immediate presence of the hunter; and tag and retrieve
game animals and birds on behalf of the hunter.”
The person accompanying a hunter who is visually impaired
is required to possess a valid hunting license. The person
accompanying a visually impaired hunter may also hunt game
animals or birds if the person possesses the appropriate tags,
permits, reservations and stamps for the area and time period.
A visually impaired hunter must comply with all other tag,
permit, reservation and stamp requirements of the State Fish
and Wildlife Commission and applicable hunting laws (ORS
498.170).
AN OREGON DISABILITIES HUNTING AND FISHING PERMIT
HOLDER MAY:
■ Hunt from a parked motor-propelled vehicle except on any
public rd or hwy. A public rd is the entire right of way of any
rd over which the public has a right of use. Public rds include,
but are not limited to, rd related structures that are in the right
of way such as tunnels, bridges, or similar structures. Rds
on federal, state, or local government lands are public rds.
Hunting from a parked motor vehicle is allowed on private
land with the landowner’s permission and on public land
where off-road travel is permitted.

OREGON GAME BIRD STAMPS
2013 Oregon Waterfowl Stamp
2013 Oregon Upland Game Bird Stamp
American Wigeon by Robert Steiner
Chukar by Sara Stack
Game bird stamps will not automatically be mailed to hunters. To receive game bird stamps, hunters with
game bird validations on their license will need to use the mail order form at the bottom of this page.
Game bird validations are printed on the hunting license, so it is no longer required that state hunting stamps be carried in the field.
As a courtesy for several years ODFW had continued to mail the stamps to hunters each spring. However, some hunters are not
interested in receiving the stamps. This, coupled with increasing production and mailing costs and mandates for all state agencies
to reduce operational costs, prompted ODFW to begin a program where hunters with game bird validations can request stamps at
no additional charge. This program saves a substantial amount of money which is used for programs such as game bird population
surveys and habitat development. To request your game bird stamp(s), please use the mail order form below.

Greater Sage-Grouse
by Jon Ren
Jon Ren’s passion for drawing and painting began as a young boy. He was greatly influenced by his father,
Chuck Ren, and driven by his own natural ability. After graduating from the Art Institute of Colorado in 1990,
Jon began his career as an artist creating team posters for the NFL. Jon’s works include a variety of subject
matter which has been featured on collector plate series and limited edition prints. His father’s influence is
evident in Jon’s Native American pieces. Jon’s love of wildlife prevails in almost every piece Jon creates and
remains his favorite subject matter. In 2007, Jon won the Timber Wolf Alliance Regional Wolf Awareness Week
Poster Competition. He also placed second in the 2009 North Carolina Duck Stamp contest and third in the
2010 Colorado Habitat Stamp contest.
Unframed Regular Edition prints $50 each; Unframed Director's Edition prints $75 each. 1999 and 2004 prints are also available.
