STATE AND FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER COLLECTION Federal and state laws require ODFW to collect the social security number (SSN) of applicants for hunting and fishing licenses. These laws (Oregon Revised Statutes ) were enacted as part of a nation-wide effort to improve child support compliance. Social security numbers will not be displayed on licenses or disclosed except as required by state or federal law. Instead, a Hunter/Angler ID number is printed on all licenses, tags, permits, etc. This is your permanent identification number and the primary number for identifying you in our system and maintaining your license history and accumulated preference points for big game controlled hunts. HUNTERS: RETAIN YOUR 2004 HUNTING LICENSE TO HELP KEEP YOUR HUNTER/ANGLER ID NUMBER AND PREFERENCE POINTS TOGETHER 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. Speed service. Avoid long delays. To help save your preference points for big game species under one ID number, bring your 2004 license to any POS agent when buying your 2005 license. 12

17 ADDITIONAL CONTROLLED HUNT INFORMATION PREFERENCE POINT SYSTEM Attention Hunters with 800 series preference points: 800 series hunts were eliminated in Hunters who had 800 series preference points will have their points automatically moved over to the 600 series. Applicants will forfeit preference points accumulated for a hunt series when they do not apply for that hunt series (including Point Saver) for two consecutive years. Hunters who apply and do not receive their first choice for pronghorn antelope, deer, elk, and spring black bear controlled hunts receive a preference point for future controlled drawings for those species. In the 2005 controlled hunt drawing, applicants will continue to receive one preference point for the species listed above if they do not receive their first hunt choice. Hunters DO NOT have to apply for the same hunt number in consecutive years to gain points, but must apply for the same hunt series at least every other year, to gain points. Preference points will be kept on file under a person s Hunter/Angler ID number. Failure to consistently use the same ID number can exclude you from being successful in the drawing! Party applicant points shall be determined by totaling preference points of all party members and then calculating the average of this total. Average party preference points will be rounded up from.51 and rounded down from.50 to the next whole number (example: 3.51 to 4; 3.50 to 3). Drawing a first choice hunt within a hunt series takes the successful hunter s point total back to zero whether or not they purchase the tag. Hunters who successfully draw second or lower hunt choices still receive a preference point for future drawings except in the case of a first hunt choice that is cancelled. See page 20. Their existing preference point total will also carry over. Hunters who indicate a Point Saver number, one ending in 99, will receive a preference point that will add to any existing points for that hunt series. POINT SAVER HUNT NUMBERS Point Saver hunt numbers give hunters a preference point and maintain existing reference points.your preference points are removed (return to zero points) for any series if you do not apply for controlled hunts or point savers in that series for two consecutive years. If you do not plan to hunt in a controlled hunt series, you can apply for a Point Saver hunt number to gain a preference point. You can still hunt during general seasons and/or purchase leftover tags if available. You can also apply for an emergency hunt in addition to general, controlled hunt, and/or leftover tags. How to Apply: (see page 18 for controlled hunt application procedures). You must have an adult hunting license. Apply by the appropriate deadline (Feb. 10 for 700 series black bear; May 15 for other hunt series). Select the Point Saver number for the appropriate hunt series (1 hunt series per application). 199 for BUCK DEER 299 for ELK 499 for PRONGHORN ANTELOPE 699 for DEER 799 for SPRING BEAR You CANNOT apply for other hunt choices within the same series if using the Point Saver number. Youth applying for a Point Saver CAN- NOT apply for a First Time Youth tag in the same series later in the same year. Applicants for Point Savers must be eligible to hunt in the year they apply. Applicants must be 12 years of age or older during the calendar year of application. HOW THE DRAWING WORKS Public Welcome! For date and time of public drawing, please call The computer assigns each application a 10-digit random number. Members of the public pick a 10-digit number 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 10-digit number is used in the drawing. The controlled hunt drawing allocates 75% of first choice available tags for a hunt to applicants with existing preference points. The remaining 25% will be drawn randomly from a pool of all applicants. This step ensures that all applicants have some chance of drawing a tag each year they apply. All applicants are grouped by preference points and then arranged by 10-digit random number within preference point group. Tags are awarded in each preference point group beginning with the applicant whose 10-digit 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 75% of available tags are awarded or until all first-choice applicants have received tags. Any remaining tags from the 75% will be added to the 25%. Then all remaining applicants are rearranged solely by 10-digit random number to award the remaining tags (25% of total available). All applicants in a hunt series are grouped by first hunt choice. Tags are assigned to first choice applicants as above until all tags are assigned or all first choices are filled. Tags are only assigned to second choice applicants after all first choices have been filled. 17 Selection is still based on the draw numbers described above. This sequence is followed for 3rd, 4th, and 5th choices. Preference points do not apply to 2nd or lower choices. LEFTOVER CONTROLLED TAGS Leftover tags for hunts with fewer applicants than there are tags will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis beginning at 10 a.m. (Pacific time) on Mar. 15 for black bear and July 1 for all other big game series (see page 21 for LOP leftover tag information) until all tags are sold as follows: Hunts having leftover tags may include Controlled Deer, Deer Youth, and Deer LOP hunts (100 series),controlled Elk, Elk Youth and Elk LOP hunts (200 series), Controlled Pronghorn Antelope, Pronghorn Antelope Youth and Pronghorn Antelope LOP hunts (400 series), Controlled Antlerless Deer, Deer Youth, and Deer LOP hunts (600 series), Controlled Spring Bear (700 series). Controlled Bighorn Sheep (500 series) and Controlled Rocky Mt Goat (900 series) will NOT be included. Only hunts with more tags than applicants (including 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th hunt choices) in the Controlled Hunt Drawing will qualify. No additional tags will be added to any hunt following the controlled hunt drawing. Tags awarded through the controlled hunt drawing, but not claimed or purchased will not be included or available for sale. Tags from unlimited tag hunts and some hunts where access is limited may be excluded from the first-come, first-serve process. A list of hunts and available leftover tags for sale on a first-come, firstserved basis will be made available at license agents and ODFW offices by Mar. 15 for bear and July 1 for all other big game species. Leftover tags except LOP tags may only be purchased in person at license agents or ODFW offices. Mail orders and faxes will not be accepted for leftover tags. Leftover LOP tags may only be purchased through Controlled Hunts. Only 1 leftover tag may be purchased per person per hunt series. Leftover tags are in addition to General Season, Controlled Hunt, or LOP tags you may purchase in a series. Leftover tags MUST be purchased by the day before the earliest opening date. Leftover tags purchased by youth do not impact their eligibility for First Time tags in that series. Leftover tags will be sold at the regular price for the current hunting season. However, leftover tags may be sold at a price up to four times the regular amount in the future. No Preference Points will be given or taken away when purchasing leftover tags.

18 ADDITIONAL CONTROLLED HUNT INFORMATION CANCELLED HUNTS Information about any cancelled hunts will be made available to the general public by Apr. 15. A postcard will be sent to all applicants who apply for a hunt that is cancelled by Apr. 15, stating the hunt applied for has been cancelled and the following options are available: Option 1 - The second hunt choice becomes first choice. If a hunter is successful in the draw, no preference points are awarded and existing preference points will return to zero. If unsuccessful, applicants will receive a preference point. Option 2 - Request an application change for another hunt at no additional cost through the Salem office (submit through mail, fax, etc.), or for a Point Saver at no additional cost. An emergency hunt is a hunt held on short notice to address acute agricultural damage. Most game damage situations are addressed during the annual big game seasons and the ODFW anticipates very few emergency hunts during any year. Emergency hunts may be held on a private property ownership or multiple ownerships wherein the district biologist has established a hunt area. On average, 300 tags are issued annually statewide. Emergency hunt bag limits are in addition to any animals harvested during general seasons, controlled hunts, or leftover hunts. 1. How to Apply: Emergency hunt participants are selected from a list established on a county-by-county basis. You may apply for one county only. Applicants can request an emergency hunt application from ODFW headquarters in Salem or any regional office listed on page 3. Applications must be submitted to the headquarters office of ODFW, 3406 Cherry Ave. NE, Salem, Oregon When to Apply: Applications received between July 1-July 31 will be randomly assigned to lists. After July 31, names will be placed on lists in the order received. Applications received prior to July 1 will only be valid on the current year s list ending June 30. Applications from Master Option 3 - Withdraw application with refund, receive no preference point. If ODFW does not receive notification from an applicant, Option 1 will be chosen. NONRESIDENT APPLICANTS A maximum of 3% of tags for pronghorn antelope and black bear hunts, and a maximum 5% of tags for controlled deer and controlled elk hunts can be issued to nonresidents. No less than 5% and no more than 10% of all bighorn sheep and Rocky Mt goat tags will be issued to nonresidents. Less than this maximum percentage may be issued, as nonresident applications receive no preference, other than existing preference points, in the drawings. The Guides and Outfitters Program as described below impacts the number of nonresident tags available in the drawing. EMERGENCY HUNTS Hunters (see page 94 for information) received between July 1-July 31 will be randomized, then placed at the top of the emergency hunt list by county. All other applications from Master Hunters received after July 31 will be placed on lists in the order received. 3. Who May Apply: Hunters 12 years and older at the time of application are eligible. Persons under 18 must be accompanied by an adult guardian (age 21 or older) while hunting. All hunters must possess a valid adult hunting license. Hunters may apply singly, or in parties of two. ODFW will try to keep parties together for emergency hunts whenever possible. In hunts requiring single hunters, however, party applications may be bypassed for that opportunity but will retain their position on the list. 4. Disqualification: Applicants submitting more than one application will be disqualified. Application forms that are incomplete or illegible will be disqualified. 5. Landowners: Landowners are eligible to receive Landowner Preference (LOP) tags to hunt on their land within emergency hunt areas. LOP tags issued for an emergency hunt are issued on the same land ownership acreage schedule as are LOP tags for 18 Parties will not be split if the nonresident maximum is reached for any hunt. Parties composed solely or partially of nonresidents will not be eligible to receive tags in a hunt after the nonresident maximum is reached. CONTROLLED HUNT INFORMATION The computer-assisted telephone line allows hunters to access preference point information or to check the status of their applications, by entering their ID number and selecting the type of information desired. Controlled Hunt staff will also be available during regular business hours. CONTROLLED HUNTS or (Long Distance) GUIDES AND OUTFITTERS As enacted by the 1997 Oregon State Legislature, the Guides and Outfitters Program provides guides and outfitters with the opportunity to market nonresident tags. A number of tags equal to one-half the nonresident tags drawn in the previous year are available through this program. Guides certified by the Oregon State Marine Board submitted applications and competed for the right to market these tags. Tags not sold by Apr. 15, 2005 are available in the 2005 big game drawing. Information on Guides and Outfitters can be obtained from Oregon State Marine Board in Salem, , extension 225. controlled hunts and are in addition to LOP tags issued for controlled hunts and leftover tags. Landowners do not have to be on the emergency hunt list but they must be within the emergency hunt boundary. Landowners can obtain LOP tags for established emergency hunts by contacting the Salem Headquarters, Controlled Hunt Section or any ODFW office. 6. Notification for Emergency Hunts: Individuals listed for a county in which a hunt is to be held will be notified by telephone and given instructions on when and where to check in for the hunt. Individuals unable to meet the time schedule will be bypassed, but will retain their position on the list. Individuals participating in a hunt will be removed from the list. 7. Emergency Hunt Tags: Hunters must possess a valid hunting license and Emergency Hunt Tag issued by ODFW personnel. Hunters must check in and out of the hunt area as directed by ODFW personnel. Successful hunters must: 1. Tag the harvested animal immediately; 2. Contact the office that authorized the hunt; and 3. Pay a fee equal to the normal tag fee for that species.

19 LANDOWNER PREFERENCE PROGRAM (LOP) The Landowner Preference Program (LOP) was established to acknowledge the contribution of private lands to support wildlife and provide a form of compensation to landowners for resources used by wildlife. Tags are available to landowners, family members, and others designated by the landowner based on the acreage owned. Pronghorn hunts are only available to landowners and family members. Recipients of LOP tags may only hunt on the property for which they are registered. How to Apply: Landowners must register, file tag distribution forms, and purchase controlled hunt applications prior to the deadlines below. Only one representative landowner, or stockholder of a corporation, or representative partner of a partnership may register. Registration packets may be obtained by contacting any local ODFW office, or by contacting the ODFW Controlled Hunt office in Salem at Previously registered landowners need not re-register and will automatically be mailed tag distribution forms for the current year. Landowner tags are not issued automatically upon filing of tag distribution forms. All landowners and eligible applicants must purchase controlled hunt applications prior to specified deadlines below. Applicants for LOP tags must indicate a landowner preference hunt choice on their applications. After May 15, applications for LOP tags will not be available for purchase through license agents. Applicants must submit their applications to the headquarters office of ODFW. Allow adequate time for receipt and processing. Deadlines for submitting LOP registration and tag distribution forms and LOP controlled hunt applications are in the table below. If applying for LOP tags in the Big Game drawing, you have the option of applying for up to five hunt choices plus LOP OR applying for LOP only. If applying for controlled hunt tags, or if applying for a limited landowner elk tag (See Note), all forms and applications must be received by May 15. Note: In certain controlled elk hunts with a bag limit of one elk or one bull in units where the usual bag limit for bull elk is spike only, LOP tags will be limited to 5 tags or 10% of the total Controlled hunt tags, whichever is greater. The affected hunts are: 226A2, 226R, 248A1, 249A1, 250X, 251A, 252C1, 253X, 254R, 254Y, 255R, 255Y, 256R, 256Y, 259Y, 261X, 262X, and 263X. Contact Controlled Hunts for more information. All forms and applications must be received by May 15. LOP tags with a bag limit of one elk or one bull in units where the usual bag limit for bull elk is spike only, remaining after the game mammal controlled hunt drawing will be issued to qualified landowners on a first-come, first-served basis. Tags issued in this manner are additional tags and a qualified landowner may purchase only one first-come, first-served tag per hunt series. Such a tag may be for the landowner or for someone other than the landowner listed on their tag distribution form. A hunter receiving a tag through the original game mammal controlled hunt drawing process may exchange that tag for a remaining tag in the first-come, firstserved process while tags remain available. Tag purchases and exchanges may be obtained only through ODFW Salem Headquarters and must be made before the earliest opening start date for which the tags are issued. The tag being exchanged shall not be reissued. All controlled deer and elk hunts occurring on a landowner s registered property are eligible for landowner preference program.

20 YOUTH FIRST TIME PROGRAM GUARANTEED BIG GAME HUNTING OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH YEARS OLD To maintain Oregon s outdoor recreation tradition, and in response to increased demand for youth hunting opportunities, ODFW established a youth hunting program in 1991 for youth In 2004, there were over 2,000 deer, elk, black bear and pronghorn antelope tags authorized for youths. However, demand for youth tags has exceeded supply and some youth have low success in controlled hunt drawings. The First Time program guarantees that youth hunters will be eligible to receive up to three tags: one buck deer, one antlerless deer, and one antlerless elk. WHO MAY APPLY: Youth must be Oregon residents and be at least 12 years old at the time they hunt. Youth must apply in the Controlled Hunt Drawing for the appropriate hunt series (deadline is May 15), and if unsuccessful in the drawing, plus unsuccessful in previous years for that hunt series, can apply for a First Time Hunt. Youth applying for Point Savers CANNOT apply for First Time youth tags in the same series later in the same year. See pages for Controlled Hunt information. Youth must have valid Hunter Education Certificate by the time they hunt. See page 23 for Hunter Education information. HOW IT WORKS: The program applies only to controlled hunts for buck deer (100 series); controlled elk (200 series) - ONLY hunts with an antlerless only bag limit; and controlled antlerless deer (600 series). Important: Not all hunts are included in the program. Each hunt must meet a minimum tag level to be available to First Time hunters: Hunt Series Min. Tag Level Buck deer (100 series) at least 201 tags Elk (200 series)-antlerless only at least 51 tags Antlerless deer (600 series) at least 51 tags Youth are guaranteed only one tag per series during the time they are youth hunters (12-17 years old). Youth are no longer eligible for a First Time tag in a hunt series after they draw any controlled hunt tag in that series (including youth hunts) or use their First Time option to purchase a tag in that series. Youth who are unsuccessful for all choices in a series in the controlled hunt drawing can mail or fax in a Youth First Time Program Hunt application (see next page) to request a tag of their choice (TAG NUMBERS FOR THE HUNT MUST MEET THE MINI- MUM TAG AUTHORIZATION LEVEL). Applications must be received by Sep. 1 (or before the hunt begins for hunts opening before Sep. 1). Youth should enter up to five hunt choices per hunt series to ensure they receive an eligible hunt (see min. tag level, per hunt series above). The youth will be assigned a tag in the first eligible hunt listed and be able to purchase the tag from a license agent a few days after their application is processed. Youth will be able to request tags until Sep. 1 and tags must be purchased by the day before the season starts. IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW: A youth loses eligibility for a First Time tag in a hunt series once they draw any tag in that series (including youth hunts) except for leftover tags. Applications for hunts that begin before Sep. 1 must be received well before the hunt begins. Adults who apply in a party with a youth in the controlled hunt drawing and are unsuccessful will not receive tags if the youth requests a First Time tag. All rules that apply to youth hunts will apply to hunting with First Time tags. Youth can use their First Time options in any combination (all in one year, one per year, skip years between tags). Youth can hunt in general seasons and use leftover tags if available without losing eligibility for First Time tag. However, First Time tags are not extra tags. Youth are still limited to the maximum number of tags per species (series) per year. For example, a youth can possess only one controlled buck deer tag or one general rifle deer tag or one general bow deer tag, and one leftover tag if available. Other hunters with appropriate tags may hunt with youth. EXAMPLE: Mary is 15 years old in She applied with her father for a controlled buck tag and controlled elk tag in 2004 and was successful in drawing both tags. Therefore, Mary is no longer eligible for First Time tags for 100 series or 200 series hunts. Mary applies with her father for antlerless deer (600 series) in 2005, but the party is unsuccessful in the drawing for all choices. (Each of the applicants receives a preference point). Mary can mail in a completed First Time application by Sep. 1, and select an antlerless deer hunt (600 series) that has at least 51 tags authorized. A tag will be reserved for Mary and she will be able to purchase the tag at a license agent a short time later. Mary s father does not receive a tag. Mary is not eligible for any more First Time tags. Youth First Time Hunt Program Application Period: July 1 Sep. 1 (Use application form on next page) 20

THE TOUGHEST JOB YOU LL EVER LOVE The Hunter Education Program always has a need for more volunteer instructors. If you are age 21 or older, have never had a criminal or wildlife law conviction, want to volunteer, and want to pass on the hunting heritage to the next generation, contact us at H U N TE R E D U C A TI 0 N WHO NEEDS TO TAKE IT? Anyone aged 17 or under must have a Hunter Education certificate in their possession when hunting on other than their own land. Anyone planning to hunt in a state that requires hunters to have completed hunter education needs to have a valid certificate. Youths may purchase licenses and tags prior to taking the course. Hunter Education classes are held throughout the year, but very few classes are held after the end of August. There is no minimum age to take the class and parents are strongly advised not to wait until the last moment, but to put their child into a class as soon as the child is capable of physically handling a firearm safely and understanding the concepts of responsible behavior and safety.

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: FOR YOUR INFORMATION 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 INVADER or contact your local county weed office. 24

25 WELCOME TO HUNT AREAS FUNDED BY THE ACCESS AND HABITAT PROGRAM In 1993, the Oregon Legislature established the Access and Habitat (A&H) Program which created an incentivebased 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 for the benefit of the wildlife they value. The program also seeks to recognize and encourage the important contributions made by landowners to the state s wildlife resources. The A&H program provides grants to private landowners, timber and agriculture corporations, sportsman 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, public hunting access has been provided on over 5 million acres of private land in Oregon. Jackson Access and Cooperative TMA - Located in Rogue, Dixon, and Evans Cr. Wildlife Management Units. 43,000 acres of access to deer, elk, bear, cougar, upland gamebirds, and turkey. See page 102 for more details or contact: Central Point ODFW office (541) Sled Springs Mgt. Demonstration Area - Located in Sled Springs Wildlife Management Unit. Noregarrd, Shamrock, and Whiskey Creek TMA s include 127,000 acres of access to elk, deer, cougar, bear, upland gamebirds, and turkey.

29 PERMANENT DISABLED HUNTER INFORMATION In order to be considered a person with a disability under the wildlife laws, a person shall provide either: (1) Written certification from a licensed physician, which states that the 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 percent 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 prevents 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 exceed 20/200 in the better eye with corrective lenses, or the widest diameter of the visual field is no greater than 20 degrees; or (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 percent disabled (ORS ). The Permanent Disabilities Permit is not a license or tag. Hunters must still obtain a hunting license and apply for and/or purchase appropriate tags prior to specified tag sale deadlines to hunt in controlled and general big game seasons. You must be in possession of your Permanent Disabilities Permit, license, and tag while you are hunting (even holders of a Disabled Veteran/Pioneer license and tag). All license and tag fees are at regular rates. In addition you may only hunt in the time period specified for the tag you possess. Holders of a Disabled Veteran/Pioneer elk tag must also possess a Permanent Disabilities Permit to be eligible for an expanded bag limit or to hunt from a parked motor vehicle. A Permanent Disabilities Permit does not allow the permit holder to travel on any closed road by means of a motor-propelled vehicle. The following section applies only for persons defined in number (1)e. A visually impaired hunter must comply with all other tag, permit and stamp requirements of the State Fish and Wildlife Commission and applicable hunting laws. (ORS ). A person who is not visually impaired and who accompanies a hunter who is visually impaired (1)e. that possesses a permanent disabilities permit may: assist the hunter in selecting a game animal or bird; assist the hunter aiming or sighting 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. 29 The person accompanying a hunter who is visually impaired: Is required to possess a valid hunting license. May also hunt game animals or birds if the person possesses the appropriate tags, permits and stamps for the area and time period. A Permanent Disabilities Permit holder may: Hunt from a parked motor-propelled vehicle except on any public road or hwy, or within Cooperative Travel Management Areas. A public road is the entire right of way of any road over which the public has a right of use. Public roads include, but are not limited to, road related structures that are in the right of way such as tunnels, bridges, or similar structures. Roads on federal, state, or local government lands are public roads. Hunting from a parked motor-propelled vehicle is allowed on private land with the landowner s permission and on public land where off-road travel is permitted. Have an able-bodied companion accompany them and kill any animal wounded by the permit holder. The wounded animal must be killed using a legal weapon for the season and species designated on the tag. 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 a person accompanying a visually impaired hunter is required to possess a valid hunting license. (OAR (3). Season/Tag General or Controlled Buck Deer General or Controlled Bull Elk Controlled Buck Pronghorn Antelope Bag Limit One legal buck deer One legal bull elk One buck pronghorn antelope New bag limits for hunters with Permanent Disabilities Permits: Beginning with Fall 2005 seasons, the bag limit for Permanent Disabilities Permit holders will be the same as for other hunters unless the unit has major unit-wide or sub-unit antlerless hunting opportunities. By May 1 each year the Department will develop a proposed list of management units where the Permanent Disabilities Permit holder s bag limit would be either-sex. The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission will adopt the final list of management units in which the bag limit for Permanent Disabilities Permit holders will be either-sex at the June Commission meeting. Information on the bag limit change will be posted on the ODFW website ( and distributed to all license agents.

31 FOR YOUR INFORMATION DROUGHT, FIRE, AND HABITAT Oregon can experience periodic and sometimes severe or prolonged drought conditions. Extreme drought conditions can dramatically change wildlife habitats, cause difficulties for wildlife, and challenge even the hardiest of hunter, hiker, angler, or camper. With a little information and a few precautions, you can still enjoy Oregon s wild lands during dry conditions without causing undue damage to rangeland, forests, wildlife, or yourself. Drought, Fire, and Habitat A severe drought by itself can lead directly to changes in wildlife habitats, reduce water availability, and change the number, type, and quality of plants available to wildlife. Prolonged or repeated drought conditions and resulting changes to habitat tend to reduce the quality of the habitat for wildlife. Drought caused changes to wildlife habitat are most dramatic when caused by forest or range fires. Much of Oregon s big game habitat evolved with periodic fires and as a result, controlled fire can be a very economical and valuable tool and is commonly used to improve habitats for wildlife. Some uncontrolled fires can cause serious damage and can completely destroy critical habitats. Loss of or changes in critical habitat can lead to changes in animal distributions and migrations, and can even lead to mortality in all age classes from malnutrition or exposure. Large scale uncontrolled fires that have occurred recently result in mixed blessings. Fire tends to burn at different intensities in different parts of the landscape. The net result is a patchwork of areas where some areas lose valuable resources; some habitats are improved, and some areas are not burned at all and remain unchanged. Drought, Fire, and Wildlife When drought persists and water sources dry up, wildlife are affected. Many species are able to get sufficient water from early morning dew, or extract water from forage during digestion. When sources of water dry up many larger animals may migrate to permanent water. Some smaller species that require drinking water and cannot migrate tend to reduce their activities and may hibernate until conditions improve. The impacts of reduced food and water are hardest on the young and the females trying to raise them. Females not getting enough quality forage or water may have difficulty producing milk for young. Some young may die of malnutrition before summer s end and often neither the young nor the adult will be prepared for the coming winter. Drought, followed by a harsh winter, can be particularly devastating to many big game species and many animals may die. Research also has shown repeatedly that surviving fawns and calves born during drought conditions are smaller bodied and have smaller antlers or horns throughout their lifetime compared to those born during normal and good forage years. Drought, Fire, and Hunting ODFW will not close hunting seasons as a result of fire danger or active fires. Fire danger or active fires may cause rd closures or result in use restrictions that impact camping, burning, wood cutting, hunting and other activities. When drought leads to severe fire danger, hunters may not be able to camp in their favorite camp site, may have to hike farther to reach favorite hunting areas, or may have to hunt new areas. Those that traditionally cook with open fires should prepare to cook with gas stoves. In the unlikely event that all access for hunting in a hunt area has been closed as a result of fire danger or an active fire, ODFW will evaluate the situation after the season(s) closes. If ODFW determines hunters lost their opportunity to hunt, a number of options may be available to provide compensation. Available options will depend on the season, timing, duration, and extent of fire related impacts for individual hunts. Dry Weather Camping & Hunting Tips With a little preparation, hunters can still have a safe, enjoyable, and successful outing. The following tips are a good place to start. More information can be found at the ODFW web site Drought and Fire Information Page ( Follow all regulations and use restrictions. Contact landowners or land management agencies (US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Oregon Department of Forestry, etc.) where you plan to hunt before you leave home. Ask for specific information on rd use, OHV use, parking, camping, smoking, and fire restrictions. Campfires should only be built in designated areas. Never leave campfires unattended: drown them with water until cold to the touch before leaving and sleeping. Allow lanterns, stoves, heaters, chainsaws, and other equipment to cool before refueling or setting on the ground. Avoid camping at or near waterholes, springs, guzzlers, and other sources of water for wildlife. Carry all the water you will need with you, including enough for campfire control. All vehicles should be equipped with a shovel, axe and a container of water. Every person in camp should carry lots of drinking water whenever leaving camp. Don t overexert yourself. Hunt hardest during early morning and late evening when it is cooler, and when game animals are most active. Prepare and carry a field oriented medical kit. Include sunscreen and sunburn creams. Pack out any garbage. Pay special attention to flammable items. 31

32 FOR YOUR INFORMATION POSSESSION OF FIREARMS What Does it Mean to Hunters and Hunting in Oregon? In 1995, Oregon Legislators adopted Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) giving all authority to regulate possession of firearms solely to the Oregon Legislative Assembly. In 2003, the Oregon Attorney General reviewed the statute and determined the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission (Commission) cannot limit what firearms can be carried or possessed during hunting seasons. In the same opinion, the Oregon Attorney General confirmed that the Commission has statutory authority to regulate where, when, how and by whom wildlife are taken by hunting. All ODFW hunting regulations and Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) have been modified to comply with these changes concerning the possession of firearms during hunting seasons. The Commission still determines the season dates, open hunt areas, bag limits, and tag numbers for game species. The Commission still determines the weapon type that can be legally used to hunt during a specified season. Requirements for weapons used to hunt with are independent of any weapon(s) the individual hunter may choose to carry while in the field hunting. Regulations regarding when a person may hunt for a particular species also still apply. For example, these regulations state that it is not legal to hunt with a centerfire or muzzleloading rifle without a valid unused deer or elk tag for that time period and area on the person during eastern Oregon buck deer seasons and many of the standard elk seasons (see HUNTING PROHIBITED on page 13 for the exact rule language). More information regarding hunting and the possession of firearms can be obtained from the ODFW website: NATIVE AMERICAN SACRED OBJECTS AND CULTURAL SITES Many Indian artifacts and all Indian burial sites are considered sacred within Oregon s Native American culture and serve as important links to the past. The Oregon Legislature has recognized the importance of these cultural sites, Indian remains and sacred artifacts by passing laws that specifically protect these areas and items from vandalism and looting. Digging up cultural sites is against the law! Taking human remains or sacred objects from a site can lead to serious penalties. The state law covers both private and public land in Oregon. The law can be found in Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS ) Chapters 97, 358 and 390. There are federal laws that protect against vandalism and looting of Indian burials and cultural sites in national forests and BLM land in Oregon. If you find human remains when out hunting call the state police. If you should find any Native American artifacts while out hunting, stop and look around. Enjoy the fact that you have found an area that remains important to Tribal members. Stop and reflect on how critical hunting was to day-to-day survival for the people who once lived here. REMEMBER, DON T DISTURB THESE SITES! Respect and honor these sites for what they mean to Oregon s Native Americans and to Oregon s rich cultural background. FERAL SWINE Feral swine are a non-native introduced species in Oregon that have negative impacts on native wildlife and habitats. Feral swine are included in the Oregon Invasive Species Council's list of "100 Most Dangerous Invaders'' to keep out of Oregon. It is very important to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Oregon Department of Agriculture to eliminate this nonnative species before they become established. Feral swine, as defined by statute (ORS ) and the Oregon Department of Agriculture (OAR ), are now classified as a "predatory animal". It is legal to hunt feral swine on public land with a general hunting license. Hunting feral swine on private land does not require a general hunting license, but you must first gain landowner permission. 32

33 FOR YOUR INFORMATION WOLVES IN OREGON Background Wolves are protected by the federal Endangered Species Act. In , Gray Wolves (Canis lupus) were released into central Idaho and the Yellowstone area of Wyoming and Montana as part of an effort by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) to restore wolves to the Northern Rocky Mountains. Wolves are classified as a state endangered species under the Oregon State Endangered Species Act (ESA). Three wolves have been confirmed in Oregon since 1999, including two radio-collared individuals and one unmarked wolf. The USFWS downlisted wolves in the northern Rocky Mountains from endangered to threatened under the Federal ESA. State Policy Although no established populations have been documented in Oregon, the likelihood of wolves entering Oregon will increase as the wolf population in Idaho increases. At the end of 2003, the Idaho wolf population was estimated to be about 345 wolves. Following a lengthy public process, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission (Commission) directed the development of a wolf conservation and management plan for Oregon. In May 2003, the Commission appointed 14 citizens to serve on the Oregon Wolf Advisory Committee. These volunteers will assist the ODFW in developing a wolf plan that will achieve the conservation requirements of the State ESA while meeting the needs of Oregonians. The process is expected to be completed by early Identification characteristics of wolves and coyotes: Wolves Coyotes Weight Pounds Pounds Shoulder Height 2 1/2 Feet 1 1/2 Feet Snout/Muzzle Large and Blocky Long and Pointed Ears Short and Rounded Long and Pointed If You See a Wolf The USFWS is requesting that you report any information regarding wolf sightings in Oregon. Information provided by the public will assist biologists working with wolves in the region. If you have a potential wolf sighting in Oregon, please contact John Stephenson of the US Fish and Wildlife Service at , or, john_stephenson@fws.gov What s in the Future? The future of wolves in Oregon is dependent upon population trends of wolves in the Idaho experimental area and the fate of dispersing wolves that enter Oregon. Hunters, especially coyote hunters, are reminded that identification of your target is important while hunting in eastern Oregon. Individuals killing a wolf in Oregon may be subject to prosecution under the Federal ESA and a violation may result in fines up to $100,000 or one year in jail. Killing a wolf in Oregon may also invoke penalties associated with Oregon s ESA. Generally, wolves are much larger than a very large coyote and are easily distinguished from coyotes. If you are unsure of what you see, it is advisable not to shoot. 33

ATTENTION PRONGHORN ANTELOPE HUNTERS Bag limits for pronghorn antelope changed in Hunts that used to have a Horns shorter than ears bag limit have changed to One doe or fawn pronghorn. These hunts are designed to reduce local populations or address specific damage situations by allowing hunters to harvest does. A small buck, typically a yearling, is not legal in a One doe or fawn bag limit hunt. Buck fawns (young of the year) are allowed under this bag limit. It is easy to distinguish between pronghorn bucks and does using common field optics such as rifle scopes, binoculars, and spotting scopes. Specifically, look at the following characteristics and the drawings on the following page: 1. A pronghorn DOE WILL NOT HAVE a prominent dark cheek patch below the ear. ALL BUCKS WILL HAVE a prominent dark cheek patch. 2. If a pronghorn doe has horns, she WILL NOT HAVE a prong or point between the base and tip of the horn, and horns are typically less than 5 inches. Most bucks, even yearlings, WILL HAVE a prong or point between the base and tip of the horn, and horns are typically longer than five inches. 3. A pronghorn doe is typically light colored along the bridge of the nose with black occurring near the tip. A buck appears black from the tip of the nose to the forehead. 36

Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Division Helping to Protect and Preserve Oregon s Natural Resources Through Effective and Professional Law Enforcement Remember, poachers are nothing more than wildlife thieves whose actions can adversely affect Oregon s fish and wildlife populations and future hunting and angling opportunities. Please report all violations of the wildlife laws by calling your local Oregon State Police office or the Turn In Poachers (TIP) line at Trapping In Oregon Regulated trapping is critical to ensure the health and well being of furbearer populations in Oregon. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife sets seasons and harvest levels based on population status of each species, trapping pressure and wildlife damage problems in different portions of the state. Regulated trapping exists in Oregon today because: Trapping is strictly regulated by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and enforced by the Oregon State Police. Trapping is only allowed if species populations are abundant. Since the inception of modern wildlife management, no animal population in the U.S. has become endangered or extinct from regulated trapping. Trapping reduces or prevents damage to agricultural crops and private and public property. Trapping can reduce or prevent threats to human health and safety by minimizing public exposure to diseases such as rabies and giardia. Trapping is a wildlife management tool used by biologists to protect endangered species.

48 FOR YOUR INFORMATION WILDLIFE HEALTH AND BIG GAME MANAGEMENT Wildlife health is just one of many factors that can affect wild populations. Typically, diseases act subtly on wildlife and are seldom seen by hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. However, some diseases are quite visible, or may result in dramatic impacts to populations and the people interested in them. ODFW is currently monitoring the following five diseases to determine if they are present, and if present, their effect on Oregon s big game. As a result, ODFW may be asking hunters for their assistance obtaining samples from their harvested game animals. Some hunters may be asked to bring samples from their game animals to department offices or check stations, while others may be contacted in the field for sample collection. Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in Deer and Elk CWD is a brain disease of wild and captive deer and elk that has occurred in Colorado and Wyoming for over 20 years. In the last four years, however, it has been found in free-ranging and/or captive mule deer, white-tailed deer and elk in Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, Montana, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Minnesota, Illinois, Utah, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. CWD is untreatable and leads to progressive loss of body condition, behavioral changes, excessive salivation, neurologic deficits and eventual death. Researchers believe an abnormal type of infectious protein, called prions causes the disease. Prions have been found to occur normally in many animals but their function is not yet known. The origin and transmission method of CWD is not clearly defined. Once animals show symptoms, the disease progresses rapidly and animals die within 2 6 months. Similar diseases exist in domestic sheep (scrapie), cattle (bovine TSE or mad cow disease), and humans (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease). Current research indicates CWD is not transmissible to humans. CWD has not been detected in any Oregon samples (sampling began in 1996). Despite these results, ODFW biologists remain extremely cautious and will continue to collect samples to insure the disease is not present in Oregon. For up-to-date information on CWD, log onto ODFW s web site at or the CWD Alliance website Tuberculosis (TB) in Deer and Elk In November 2001 a case of bovine TB in a single domestically raised elk was confirmed at a ranch near Monument, Oregon. 195 elk and 279 adult cattle from the ranch were skin tested, destroyed and examined for signs of TB. No additional TB-Positive animals were found. We have no indication that TB is present in wild deer and elk populations in the area, but due to the seriousness of the disease, ODFW has developed a surveillance program focusing on the Northside Unit. Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious respiratory disease caused when Mycobacterium sp. bacteria attack the respiratory system. There are three types of TB human, avian and bovine. Human TB is rarely transmitted to non-humans and avian TB is typically restricted to birds (pigs and occasionally other animals have been found to be susceptible). Bovine TB or cattle TB is the most infectious, and is capable of infecting most mammals. Although Bovine TB was once relatively common in cattle in the U.S., it has historically been a very rare disease in wild deer and elk. Bovine TB is spread primarily through the air when an infected animal is in close contact with other animals. Bacteria released into the air through coughing and sneezing can spread the disease. Bovine TB is a chronic disease and it can take years for tubercole lesions to develop in the lungs, and often spreads to other organs. Infections in some animals would be recognized as unusual tan or yellow lumps (lesions) on the inside surface of the rib cage and in the lung tissue. While it is possible to transmit Bovine TB from animals to people, the likelihood is extremely rare. It is also very unlikely that a person field dressing or eating the cooked meat of a wild deer or elk infected with Bovine TB would become infected. Adenovirus Hemorrhagic Disease (AHD) in Deer AHD belongs to a small group of viruses that can infect a wide variety of animals, both wild and domestic. Infected deer can have clinical signs common to other diseases such as bluetongue or pneumonia. Chronic symptoms include sores in the mouth and throat. Acute symptoms include rapid or open mouth breathing, foaming or drooling at the mouth, diarrhea (possibly bloody), weakness, large amounts of fluid in the body cavity, and emaciation. Death can occur within 3 5 days from the time the deer was exposed to the virus. There is no treatment for individual deer infected with AHD. Transmission is by direct contact between deer, contact with bodily fluids, and possibly airborne routes. In 2001, AHD was confirmed in one adult black-tailed deer doe and suspected in several dozen other deer deaths in southwest Oregon. In 2002, AHD was confirmed in an outbreak in Central Oregon (Deschutes and Jefferson counties). Between May 9 Dec., 2002, an estimated 500 deer died from the virus in the Crooked River Ranch area, near Sisters, Oregon and in the eastern part of the Grizzly Unit. High-density deer populations could have a higher risk for the disease due to the ease of transmission. ODFW staff is encouraging people to avoid providing feed or water stations for deer because these activities may assist in spreading the disease if it is present. There are no known health risks of eating meat from a deer infected with AHD. However, experts recommend thoroughly cooking (at least 165 fahrenheit) any meat from animals from an infected area. ODFW field personnel will be collecting blood samples from recently killed deer to test for exposure to the virus. 48

49 FOR YOUR INFORMATION Deer Hair Loss Syndrome (DHLS) DHLS is a new illness not seen before it was first documented in black-tailed deer in 1995 on Naval Sub base Bangor in Washington. By spring 2002, DHLS had spread south through western Oregon into Jackson and Josephine counties. It is called a syndrome because the exact cause is not known. Deer exhibiting hair loss have large numbers of lice which cause irritation. The typical pattern seen in deer suffering from DHLS includes a darkening of the hair in patches or over large portions of the body, often becoming apparent Dec. Apr. Hair loss occurs as deer rub, bite, and scratch their hair off causing the appearance of white or yellow patches. As the hair is rubbed off, deer start losing energy reserves and often the coat appears wet or in rough condition. Deer can appear emaciated or gaunt, appear slow and lethargic and are often seen biting, licking and chewing their hair, and may have diarrhea. Death can occur, most likely from exposure to the elements. Some deer recover and appear to grow new summer coats. Biologists suspect some deer that appear to recover in summer suffer symptoms again the following fall and perish. ODFW field personnel will be collecting lice and other samples from hunter harvested deer that appear to be suffering from this syndrome. Pneumonia in Bighorn Sheep (Pasteurellosis) Pasteurellosis is a respiratory disease impacting bighorn sheep throughout the west and has been implicated in two recent bighorn die-offs in NE Oregon. Biologists believe both outbreaks were the result of bacteria in the pasteurella family, which are deadly to wild bighorn sheep. Pasteurellosis can lead to significant all-age mortality, diminished ewe fertility, and low lamb survival for many years. Bighorn sheep with pasteurellosis may exhibit noticeable signs including coughing, nasal discharge, and difficulty climbing or running. The best treatment for this disease is prevention. ODFW currently manages bighorn populations to avoid exposure to the disease by preventing wild sheep from contacting domestic sheep or goats that may carry the disease. Population Management and Impacts to Hunters Persistent disease or epidemics can have impacts to wildlife populations and hunters. The most notable impact is a reduction in overall population numbers and the resulting reductions in hunting or viewing opportunities. Population reductions can occur as a result of the disease itself, or as a result of the management that may be required to contain or control a particular disease. The disease may have more subtle effects such as predisposing animals to predators or inclement weather, or causing low recruitment and reduced overall population levels through time. There also may be regulation changes as a result of disease and disease prevention. In response to concerns for Oregon s wildlife, the Fish and Wildlife Commission adopted rules in fall 2002 that banned importation of live animals in the deer family (except for reindeer), and in June 2003 adopted regulations governing importation of carcasses of members in the deer family. Although this may be an inconvenience for Oregon hunters traveling to other states, it is a measure designed to protect Oregon s wild deer and elk. Wholesomeness of the Meat With the exception of TB, none of the diseases discussed above represent a significant threat to human health. Further, TB and CWD have not been found in wild deer or elk in Oregon. However, general caution should be used when field dressing game animals and handling game meat. ODFW offers the following tips for hunters taking to the field this fall: 1) Normal cooking will kill almost all disease-causing germs. Be sure to cook your game meat properly to at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit. 2) Avoid cross-contamination between entrails and raw meat, and between raw and cooked meats. Cutting boards, knives, wiping cloths, sponges and other tools should be cleaned and washed between uses. Common household bleach mixed 4 parts bleach to 6 parts water can effectively sterilize most utensils. 3) Always check for any abnormalities when field dressing an animal that has been killed. Tuberculosis typically is seen as nodules or lumps in the lungs, on the chest wall, and in the lymph nodes between the lungs and around the intestines. If hunters see abnormalities when field dressing a deer or elk, please place a sample in a clean plastic bag and contact the local ODFW field office as soon as possible. 4) CWD is associated with brain, spinal column, and lymphoid tissues. Boning meat and trimming all lymph nodes and fatty tissues from the meat should effectively avoid cross contamination. 5) Plastic or rubber household cleaning gloves should be worn when field dressing, and when removing antlers from the skull. All saws and knives should be cleaned using a solution of common household bleach mixed 4 parts bleach to 6 parts water. What should Hunters Do? Avoid shooting an animal that appears sick, is acting unusual, or is exhibiting any of the symptoms described above. If you observe such an animal, document the location of the animal and call your local ODFW office as quickly as possible. Additional information on these diseases can be obtained at your local department office or found on the ODFW website at: Hunters hunting in states known to have animals with CWD should read the parts ban information on page

50 DEER AND ELK CONTROLLED HUNTS All eastern Oregon mule deer, most Rocky Mt elk, and many western Oregon elk seasons are limited and you must apply for a controlled hunt. A controlled hunt is a hunt where the number of hunters is limited and tags are awarded through a public drawing. Controlled hunts for buck mule deer, antlerless deer, Rocky Mt bull and antlerless elk, and many seasons for elk in the Cascades and Coast Mts of Oregon are arranged by hunt area. There are seven areas in the state: Northwest, Southwest, South Central, Central, Columbia, Northeast, and Southeast. This layout is simply a way to display hunt choices. Hunters are not restricted to choices from a single area when applying for controlled hunts. NOTE: As a hunter it is your responsibility to insure the hunts you apply for (all choices in all series) are hunts you want to participate in. It is your responsibility to monitor your preference points, tags allocated to specific hunts, odds of drawing a tag, and to insure the actual area you are interested in hunting is within the hunt boundary and is open for hunting access. ODFW strives to make all information available to all hunters and ODFW will not reinstate preference points or change tags because the tag you drew is not the one you wanted or expected. WALLOWA COUNTY IS A HAY QUARANTINE AREA The Wallowa Co Court passed an ordinance in 1989 making all of Wallowa Co a Hay Quarantine Area. Hay cannot be lawfully imported into Wallowa Co unless it is fed by landowners on their own land or land they lease. The person feeding the hay will be held responsible for all weed infestations caused by such feeding and all accompanying expenses. The reasons for this ordinance are: noxious weeds are being introduced to big game and livestock ranges; farmers, the county, ODFW, and other landowners are spending thousands of dollars for weed control; an effort is being made to reduce chemical use; and weeds have destroyed major wildlife habitat areas in surrounding states and counties. Hay pellets are an excellent feed for horses, easily packed, and lawful to import as weed seed is sterilized in processing. Horse users are urged to use pellets when possible. The Wallowa Co Court is asking all hunters, campers, and landowners to cooperate in this effort. Hay will be avail- 50 able at the Hay Station on the Minam, at Wallowa, Enterprise, and Joseph. In addition, some farmers will also have hay available. The hay station will be open three days prior to the Controlled Buck Deer, Second Season Bull Elk, and Controlled Antlerless Elk seasons and four days prior to the first Bull Elk season. For more information call the Wallowa Co Court ; Wallowa Co Extension ; or the Wallowa Mt Visitor Center

51 COLUMBIAN WHITE-TAILED DEER - PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE Columbian white-tailed deer were first described by early pioneers as a common animal throughout the valleys of western Oregon and Washington. The historic range started near Olympia, Washington, and extended through the Willamette Valley as far south as the South Umpqua River Basin near Roseburg. They ranged as far west as Astoria and as far east as The Dalles on the Columbia River. Populations inhabited the Willamette and Umpqua Valley floors and were bound by the foothills of the Cascade and Coast mountain ranges. The Columbian white-tailed deer was first recognized as an endangered in 1967 and formally listed under the Federal Endangered Species Act in The Oregon population was recognized as endangered under the Oregon Endangered Species Act in Two populations remain; one in the Umpqua Basin near Roseburg, and one on a series of islands and Oregon and Washington mainlands along the lower Columbia River. Oregon populations recovered sufficiently since listing to be removed from the state Endangered Species list in Efforts by ODFW, other state and federal agencies, Douglas County and private landowners have led to the removal of the Roseburg population of the Columbian white-tailed deer from the federal Endangered Species List. Management authority for this population has been moved from the federal government to Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and will be monitored for a minimum of 5 years after de-listing. THERE ARE NO CHANGES TO REGULATIONS REGARDING PROTECTION OF COLUMBIAN WHITE-TAILED DEER AT THIS TIME EXCEPT: Starting in 2005, a new small area controlled buck hunt with a very limited number of tags is being offered that will allow hunters the opportunity to harvest either a black-tailed or white-tailed buck. The new controlled buck hunt, hunt number 123, is listed on page 58. In recent years, Columbian white-tailed deer were originally protected in Saddle Mountain and Scappoose wildlife units and all of Douglas County. Over the next several years Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will live trap and transplant Columbian white-tailed deer from Douglas County into parts of their historic range in unoccupied areas of Douglas County. Efforts will be made to reduce all mortality, including poaching and hunting, for the newly established populations. As a result, all of western Oregon will continue to be closed to hunting Columbian white-tailed deer, except in the controlled hunt area near Roseburg. Since no hunting opportunities existed in western Oregon for Columbia white-tailed deer in the last 30+ years the small but new buck hunt established this year represents new hunting opportunity for hunters. The department anticipates that additional hunting opportunity may be offered in future years if populations remain healthy and we can re-establish new populations in their historic range. For additional information contact Steve Denney or Tod Lum in the Roseburg ODFW office

Fire prevention means wildlife habitat protection and it s everyone s responsibility. Wildfire danger is usually high during hunting season. Fire prevention restrictions and closures vary depending on where you hunt so check before you go at Remember... If open fires are allowed - make sure they are dead out when unattended. Always carry one gallon of water, an axe and shovel. Keep vehicles off dry grass - heat from exhaust systems can start fires. Use an ashtray if you smoke. For more information you can contact the nearest office of the Oregon Department STEWARDSHIP IN FORESTRY of Forestry, the USDA Forest Service, or the USDI Bureau of Land Management.

59 Application Deadline Date: May 15, 2005 Applicants may apply singly or as a party of no more than 18 persons. CONTROLLED 600 SERIES DEER HUNTS TAG SALE DEADLINE is day before the hunt begins. For hunts with more than one hunt period, the tag sale deadline is day before the earliest opening date. Winter weather conditions continue to be favorable and may lead to deer populations exceeding population management objectives in many units. In that case, biologists will recommend antlerless deer hunts where deer exceed the ecological and/or social carrying capacity of a unit. Antlerless deer hunting is an important management tool to keep populations and their habitats healthy. Unanticipated hunts in response to populations exceeding objective will be publicly announced by Apr. 15. All such hunts will have a unique hunt number and will be available for the big game drawing if approved by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission. Most of the antlerless deer hunts recommended for eastern Oregon in 2005 are in response to specific animal damage situations. CONTROLLED HUNT APPLICATION PROCEDURES: Please read pages All antlerless deer hunts are controlled hunts where the number of hunters is limited and tags are awarded through a public drawing. Hunters should apply for more than one hunt choice. If your first choice hunt is cancelled, you will receive a postcard describing your hunt choice options. See page 20 for further information. YOUTH CONTROLLED HUNTS FOR DEER: There are 22 controlled deer hunts for youth listed on page 70. CAUTION TO HUNTERS: Obtaining a tag does not guarantee a place to hunt! Some hunts in these regulations are composed mostly or entirely of private lands and are printed in red. ODFW tries to design hunts to provide public access; however, in some areas this is not possible. It is the hunter s responsibility to obtain access to hunt on private property. In areas with high percentages of private land, please make sure you have a place to hunt before you apply for a tag. NOTE: The st Choice Applicants column is not influenced by preference points; it only indicates the number of first choice applicants for each hunt. NOTE: White-tailed deer are protected in all units west of the eastern boundaries of Santiam, McKenzie, Indigo, Dixon, and Rogue units. TAGS:The Fish and Wildlife Commission will not set actual tag numbers for hunts listed here until June Tag numbers currently shown, for your reference, were those allocated for 2004 or estimated for new 2005 hunts. Actual tag numbers for 2005 may be higher or lower than those listed based on population conditions.

64 ATTENTION HUNTERS FIND OUT IF BLM MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES ARE PLANNED FOR WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT UNITS IN EASTERN OREGON The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Oregon encourages hunters to call in advance of hunting season to find out if land management practices will be conducted within Central & Eastern Oregon WMUs. In recent years, management activities such as prescribed burns, wild horse gathers, road closures, wildfire restrictions, and special designations have temporarily disrupted hunter activities. WHAT HUNTERS CAN DO TO PLAN AROUND MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES Contacting the appropriate BLM offices in eastern Oregon prior to submitting controlled hunt applications can help avoid areas that have access restrictions or changes resulting from management activities. Hunters should also call BLM just prior to the hunt and find out if any unplanned restrictions due to fire, emergency wild horse gathers, etc. are in effect. The following list of Oregon BLM offices and the WMUs can be used to obtain information on management activities. Please note that parts of hunt units may occur in more than one BLM district. Burns District Office Hwy. 20 West, Hines, OR WMUs: Malheur Rvr, Steens Mt, Beatys Butte, Juniper, Silvies, and Wagontire. Lakeview District Office South G Street, Lakeview, OR WMUs: Keno, Klamath Falls, Sprague, Paulina, Beatys Butte, Juniper, Wagontire, Warner, Interstate, Silver Lk, Fort Rock. Vale District Office Oregon Street, Vale, OR WMUs: Columbia Basin, Heppner, Ukiah, Sumpter, Starkey, Catherine Cr, Mt Emily, Walla Walla, Wenaha, Sled Springs, Chesnimnus, Snake Rvr, Minam, Imnaha, Pine Cr, Keating, Lookout Mt, Beulah, Malheur Rvr, Owyhee, Whitehorse. Prineville District Office NE 3rd Street, Prineville, OR WMUs: Upper Deschutes, Paulina Maury, Ochoco, Grizzly, Metolius, Maupin, White Rvr, Biggs, Columbia Basin, Fossil, Murderers Cr, Northside, Heppner, Desolation, Silvies, Wagontire. The following BLM Websites provide details on projects, current fire conditions/restriction, and other helpful information on eastern Oregon public lands: Burns District: Vale District: Lakeview District: Prineville District: RESPONSIBLE HUNTING IN WILDERNESS AND WILDERNESS STUDY AREAS (WSA) Some units contain BLM lands designated as Wilderness or Wilderness Study Areas. Motor vehicle use (trucks, ATVs and motorcycles) is limited to signed Designated Route or in some areas is not permitted. Cross-country use of ATV s and game carts is not allowed, so prepare ahead to pack out harvested game by foot or pack animal. When hunting in Wilderness and Wilderness Study Areas, plan to travel and recreate with minimum impact by practicing Leave No Trace Principles. Be sure to leave a clean camp; don t burn or bury trash. Follow local regulations regarding campfires. If you use flagging, make plans to remove it on the way out. Plan and prepare before you go by contacting the local BLM office for maps and information showing Designated Routes where vehicles are allowed. MANAGEMENT PRACTICES THAT MAY INTERRUPT HUNTING ACTIVITIES WILDLIFE HABITAT BLM conducts a variety of projects to improve wildlife habitat, restore watersheds, improve forage quality, and maintain populations of wild horses. Projects such as prescribed fire, shrub land management, and juniper removal are generally conducted on a large scale, often treating wildlife habitat on several thousand acres at a time. Fire exclusion and past land management practices has allowed juniper to invade areas that historically did not contain juniper, resulting in loss of wildlife habitat such as aspen, mahogany, and bitterbrush. The exclusion of fire from shrub lands has resulted in the loss of grasses and forbs essential for wildlife survival. To restore this habitat, mechanical treatments and prescribed burning is done in spring and fall to reduce juniper and reintroduce fire to maintain high quality wildlife habitat. Fall burning is conducted to take advantage of fuel and weather conditions conducive to accomplishing resource goals. Many of the juniper treatment projects involve sites selected to benefit big game habitat such as quaking aspen stands or big game winter ranges where burning or cutting results in dramatic growth of new trees and shrubs. recovery of these areas results in immediate gains in the quantity and quality of wildlife habitat. Hunters often question why prescribed fire has to take place during the hunting season, especially in units where it may take 10 years or more to draw a tag. Very specific criteria are used to make up a project prescription. Weather conditions, fuel conditions and numerous other factors must be within strict parameters before managers can burn. Adding to the complexity, hunting seasons for various species are scheduled almost continuously from Aug. through Dec. WILDHORSE GATHERS BLM conducts wild horse gathers to maintain Appropriate Management Levels of animals to prevent overgrazing and resulting impacts to vegetation, wildlife, and watersheds, and to promote the well-being of wild horses. Lack of natural predators and good habitat conditions contributes to an average annual increase in wild horse populations of over 20%, requiring herds to be reduced once every 4-5 years. Except for emergency situations, BLM gathers wild horses in late summer, fall and winter to reduce risk of injury to the foals that are born in Mar. and Apr. By mid- Aug., foals are able to keep up with adult animals and deal with the rigors of the gathers. Large wild fires and drought conditions may require unscheduled, emergency removal to protect the animals and habitat. Once contracts are set, BLM does not have the capability to change gather dates and often are unable to schedule gathers to avoid a particular hunting season.

[MAP] FOR YOUR INFORMATION GETTING KIDS INVOLVED Hunting big game can be difficult to learn by yourself. Many young people don t have parents or friends who hunt and as a consequence may never learn to hunt. In an age when more and more people live in urban areas and more kids come from busy, single-parent homes, even fewer young people have the opportunity to learn to hunt. ODFW began a program several years ago designed to provide young people the opportunity to hunt big game. Youth hunts have opened the door for thousands of youth, age 12 to 17. The program has had many side benefits. First, these youth hunts are generally associated with population control and allow youngsters to harvest antlerless or either-sex animals. These hunts are often in less demanding terrain, on agricultural or low lying timber land, and provide a good opportunity to harvest an animal. The youth, who must be led by a nonhunting adult, has the opportunity to concentrate on choosing their target responsibly. Pressure to harvest a large buck or bull is left behind, allowing the youth the best chance for a positive hunting experience and the least chance of disappointment. Second, the program is a positive experience for landowners and young hunters, brought together to solve a problem. Several youth hunts are on lands previously closed to the public. Landowners were tired of garbage, broken fences, open gates, and careless acts of irresponsible people. The program opens up new private land to public hunting and facilitates big game management in those areas. Youth hunts also help young hunters learn landowner courtesy skills. Biologists who helped develop the program were looking at all these benefits, plus one more. By bringing young people into hunting, the future of hunting will have a more solid foundation. Good, ethical hunters of all ages will sustain the future of hunting. Hunters, past and present, are the backbone of our wildlife management programs. Landowners who are interested in participating or finding out more about the program should contact their local ODFW office. ODFW continues to expand and encourage youth hunting opportunities. See page 22 to learn about guaranteed controlled hunt tags for youths through the First Time program. 66

67 FOR YOUR INFORMATION - HUNTING AND ATVS RESPONSIBILITY OR REGULATION? The Choice is Yours! What does this mean for the typical hunter with an ATV? It s simple. If ATV users are irresponsible with the use of their machines, then there will be increasing pressure on the land and wildlife management agencies to restrict ATV use during hunting season. Already there are people, among them other hunters who are asking for a total ban on ATV use during the hunting season. Regulations are being considered that limit ATV use to certain times of the day and further restrict, or prohibit completely, off-road or trail travel. Nobody likes regulations; but if irresponsible ATV use continues to cause unacceptable impacts, then regulations will become necessary to ensure protection of public lands. A better alternative would be for ATV users to recognize the impacts their activity can cause and voluntarily take steps to reduce those impacts. ATV users are not unique in this respect - as more and more people use public lands for recreation, the potential impacts of these activities are growing fast. Virtually all recreation users - jeepers, horse enthusiasts, rafters, snowmobilers, hikers, campers, rock climbers, motorcyclists, fishermen, and mountain bikers, - are being asked to reduce the impact of their activities, so that public lands can be enjoyed by current and future generations. OREGON OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLE LAWS All ATVs operating on public lands must display an Oregon ATV Operating Permit. There are three classes of ATVs in Oregon. Most ATVs individuals think of are Class I ATVs. Class I ATVs are described as any motorized vehicles 50 or less in width with a dry weight of 800 pounds or less that have three or more low-pressure tires and have a saddle or seat for the operator. Please refer to the Oregon Parks & Recreation web site for more information: Permits can be purchased over the telephone, through many Oregon State Parks and Recreation Dept. offices or at one of their 200 vendors. A current vendor list is available online at For more information or to purchase a permit over the telephone, call Refer to page 12 of this publication for hunting and ATV regulations. ROAD CLOSURES There are a number of reasons why some modes of travel are restricted on public lands. These are not always well understood, particularly if encountered unexpectedly. Reasons for restricting travel include: Wildlife Habitat Conflict of Use Public Safety Resource Protection Legal Mandates ONLY YOU CAN PROTECT YOUR RIGHT TO RIDE! Share the Trail Avoid Wetlands Respect Wildlife Keep Your Sound Down What you can do to reduce ATV impacts: Call the land manager prior to going on your hunting trip and see what type of riding is allowed and which trails are open to ATVs. Know the vehicle use regulations for the area you are hunting and respect road and area closures. Stay on existing roads or trails. Do not contribute to resource damage and habitat destruction by creating new travel ways for others to follow. Limit ATV use in and around campgrounds. Be respectful of other campers desires for quiet and minimal disruption. Have respect for other users. Avoid the use of ATVs in wet areas or during wet conditions. Even though the lighter weight and low-pressure tires reduce impacts, ATVs can still do serious damage to wet areas. INTERESTING FACTS Since 1995, the number of All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) in Oregon has increased fivefold. There are now over 129,000 valid ATV Operating Permits in the state. Studies have shown that the harvest of bull elk increases with increased hunter access. Eventually this can lead to reduced hunter opportunity. Elk use declines in areas with adjacent roads open to motorized vehicles. As motorized vehicle access increases, the quality and amount of elk habitat are degraded. An open road density of three linear miles of road per square mile of land seriously reduces the value of that area for elk. An open road density of six linear miles per square mile can reduce elk use to near zero. 67

The Master Hunter Program is an advanced hunter education program designed to help hunters increase their knowledge and help them understand concerns of private landowners. The program s objectives are: Foster positive relationships between hunters and private landowners. Increase hunting access to private lands by giving landowners a way to identify hunters who have had advanced training. Improve the hunting experience for graduates. Improve the public image of hunters. The program includes a home study course, a 4-hour class followed by a written test, a test of firearms proficiency, and a requirement to do 20 MASTER HUNTER PROGRAM hours of volunteer work to benefit some aspect of natural resources. There will also be a check for game violations. No one with a violation in the past 5 years will be allowed to graduate. Special Opportunities: Master Hunters applying between July 1 and July 31 are given priority when selecting hunters for emergency hunts. Master Hunter Only Hunts: Unless you are eligible for and possess a landowner preference tag, you must successfully complete the Master Hunter Program before applying for these hunts: 623B N Bank Habitat Area (deer) 210F Lower Columbia (elk) 214H Salmon River Estuary (elk) Hunters who wish more information on the program should call , or visit the Department s web page at For information on other special opportunities, Master Hunters should contact the district office in the area they are interested in or call the Hunter Education Program. Care for private lands as if they were your own... A MESSAGE FROM OREGON S ACCESS & HABITAT BOARD Public hunting opportunity is the cornerstone of America s hunting traditions. In Oregon, a vast network of public, rural, agricultural and forest industry lands provide this valued opportunity. With one-half of Oregon s land base in private ownership, the importance of private lands to our wildlife and hunting traditions cannot be overestimated. Forest industry lands, in particular, represent many thousands of acres of undeveloped land across Oregon. These private forest lands provide quality outdoor recreation, increase hunting opportunity and help to disperse recreation pressure from public lands. Industrial forest lands provide a large proportion of hunter opportunity in western Oregon, especially near the urban centers of the Willamette Valley. The privilege to access forest industry lands (as well as all private lands) is something hunters must work to protect and enhance. The single most important factor influencing forest landowner decisions to allow open-access hunting is respectful use of their lands by the public. Hunters that care for private lands as if they were their own create a strong foundation for hunting access privileges on into the future. Help to keep Oregon s landowner-hunter partnerships rewarding! Follow a code of responsible ethics when hunting on forest industry lands: Do not block gates Yield right-of-way to logging equipment Keep motorized vehicles off unimproved roads 88 No wood cutting or harvest of forest products Do not damage tree seedlings Pack out all garbage No fires, smoking, overnight camping or target shooting Respect all posted signs, closed roads and gates Your observance of these basic rules will help keep Oregon s public hunting heritage alive and flourishing on forest industry lands. On behalf of the Access & Habitat Board, thank you for practicing the highest stewardship ethic when accessing all private lands.
