»»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 ap-
plicant must sign: “I, the undersigned, hereby certify and declare that the information provided to obtain this license/tag is true.
To acquire an Oregon resident license/tag I certify that I have resided continuously within Oregon no less than six months im-
mediately 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.

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 25.780-25.785) 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.

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

HUNTING AND CAMPING information for hunters


Hunting and Camping Near Water Sources
M uch of eastern Oregon has little water. As a result of this, livestock
and wildlife often are dependent on artifical water sources. Additionally
Oregon can experience periodic and sometimes severe drought conditions
that impact both natural and artificial water sources. Drought can cause
difficulties for livestock and wildlife. When some water sources dry up many
animals may be forced to migrate long distances to water. This water can
either be permanent streams or springs or artificial sites like guzzlers and
livestock water cisterns. Drought impacts of reduced food and water are
hardest on the young and the females trying to raise them.
l Avoid camping at or near waterholes, springs, guzzlers, and other sources
of water for wildlife and livestock.
l Livestock are constrained by fences and do not have the option of moving
to alternative water sources.

Mandatory Check For All Harvested Bears!
ODFW has initiated a mandatory check for all harvested bears. Specifically, “The skull of any bear taken must be presented
to an ODFW office or designated collection site within 10 days of the kill to be checked and marked. Skull must be unfrozen
when presented for check-in”. During the check-in process, a biologist will remove a small premolar tooth. After making an
appointment, you can check in your bear skull at any ODFW field office. Additionally, in many areas local businesses may be
trained and prepared to check in your bear skull. For information on local business locations, check the ODFW website at
www.dfw.state.or.us. See page 35 for more details regarding check-in.
By counting rings on sectioned and stained teeth, biologists can estimate the age of each bear, and determine if the bear has been ‘marked’
as part of ODFW’s tetracycline study. This information can then be used to estimate black bear populations.
This information is important for black bear management in Oregon. Hunters providing teeth will be notified of the age of their bear once
laboratory analyses are complete in about a year. Removing this small tooth will not affect any taxidermy work you plan to have done with
your trophy.
The department also needs your help obtaining reproductive tracts from any female bears harvested. Reproductive tracts help the department
estimate reproduction rate and frequency in Oregon bears. Reproductive tracts are easiest to collect when field dressing your bear. Carry a
clean sandwich bag and keep the sample cooled or frozen to maintain the quality of this important sample for the department. Reproductive
tracts may be delivered to any ODFW field office when you check in your bear.

Locating and Collecting the Reproductive Tract from a Female Bear


1. Label a plastic bag with: Date of Kill, Unit Number and PLEASE BE SURE TO COLLECT AND SUBMIT THE ENTIRE
Name, County, and Your Name and Address. Ziplock type UTERUS, INCLUDING BOTH ‘HORNS’AND BOTH OVARIES.
kitchen or freezer bags work very well for this purpose.
2. Locate the “Y” shaped reproductive tract beneath and slightly
ahead of the pelvis or hip bones. It usually is necessary to
move some of the intestines and other organs aside to locate
the entire tract, including both ovaries and the uterus.
3. Cut the uterus immediately forward of the bladder.
Use caution when handling the bladder and cutting the
reproductive tract from the body cavity to insure the meat is not
contaminated with urine from the bladder.
4. Place the entire reproductive tract in the labeled plastic bag
and seal. Tie the labeled tooth envelope to the outside of the
bag containing the reproductive tract.
5. Preserve specimens by freezing as soon as possible and
submit to any ODFW district office or check station.

IN ADDITION TO SKULL AND PROOF OF SEX ATTACHED TO ALL COUGAR HIDES,
HUNTERS ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THE REPRODUCTIVE TRACT OF
HARVESTED FEMALE COUGARS
Cougar hunters are reminded that it is mandatory to provide the reproductive tract of any female cougar taken.
The reproductive tract provides valuable information on the number and frequency of kittens born annually in
Oregon and is a critical part of ODFW’s cougar population models. Carrying a clean, empty sandwich bag while
hunting, and keeping the sample cooled or frozen in an ice chest or refrigerator after collection, is an easy way
to maintain the quality of this important sample for the department. Reproductive tracts may be delivered to any
ODFW field office when you check in your cougar.
Locating and Collecting the Reproductive Tract from a Female Cougar
1. Label a plastic bag with: Date of Kill, Unit Number and PLEASE BE SURE TO COLLECT AND SUBMIT THE ENTIRE
Name, County, and Your Name and Address. Ziplock type UTERUS, INCLUDING BOTH ‘HORNS’ AND BOTH OVARIES.
kitchen or freezer bags work very well for this purpose.
2. Locate the “Y” shaped reproductive tract beneath and slightly
ahead of the pelvis or hip bones. It usually is necessary to
move some of the intestines and other organs aside to locate
the entire tract, including both ovaries and the uterus.
3. Cut the uterus immediately forward of the bladder.
Use caution when handling the bladder and cutting the
reproductive tract from the body cavity to insure the meat is
not contaminated with urine from the bladder.
4. Place the entire reproductive tract in the labeled plastic bag
and seal. Tie the labeled tooth envelope to the outside of the
bag containing the reproductive tract.
5. Preserve specimens by freezing as soon as possible and
submit to any ODFW district office. Visit our website: www.dfw.state.or.us for more pictures on
how to find the reproductive tract on a cougar.

CONTROLLED HUNT Application procedures: Please read pages 13-15.
HUNTERS: Please be sure you have access to a place to hunt before you apply for a tag. Always ask
permission first to hunt on private lands, respect these properties and be sure to leave gates as you
found them. Many units have road closures that will be in effect during hunting seasons. See pages 96-
98 for road closure information.

persons. Note: The “2010 1st Choice Applicants” column is not in­flu­enced by preference points; it only in­di­cates
the number of first choice ap­pli­cants for each hunt.
REGULATIONS: It is unlawful to hunt with a centerfire or muzzleloading rifle during eastern Oregon con­trolled buck deer centerfire
firearm seasons without a valid deer tag for that time period and area. This does not include the Controlled W High Cascade or Hood-
White Rvr buck deer centerfire firearm hunts that occur Sept. 10 - Sept. 18. See page 28 for exceptions.
The Fish and Wildlife Com­mis­sion will not set actual tag numbers for hunts listed here until June 2011. Tag numbers currently shown,
for your reference, were those allocated for 2010 or estimated for new 2011 hunts. Actual tag numbers for 2011 may be higher or
lower than those listed based on population conditions. NOTE: As a hunter it is your responsibility to ensure 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 ensure 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.
STOP Private lands will limit access for hunts printed in red. Do not apply unless you have access to a place to hunt.

deer - 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 the day before the earliest opening date. If winter weather conditions continue to be
favorable it 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
Application hunts recommended for eastern Oregon are in response to specific animal damage situations.
Deadline Date: CONTROLLED HUNT APPLICATION PROCEDURES: Please read pages 13-15. All antlerless deer

than 18 persons. 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 “2010 1st Choice Applicants” column is not in­flu­enced by preference points; it only in­di­cates the number of first choice ap­
pli­cants 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,
except for the Umpqua hunts (123A, 123R1) and North Bank Habitat hunts (123B, 123M2, 123R2, 623T1) listed on pages 46, 49, 50, and 59.
TAGS: The Fish and Wildlife Commission will not set actual tag numbers for hunts listed here until June 2011. Tag numbers currently

wallowa county is a hay quarantine area
Wallowa Co passed an ordinance in 1989 making all of the county a Hay Quarantine Area. In 2010, this Weed Ordinance (2010-
001) was revised and made more restrictive. While the 1989 ordinance made it unlawful to transport into Wallowa County for use on
public lands any hay, straw, or grass (whether baled, chopped, or cubed) which is not certified as weed-free. It is now also unlawful to
transport uncertified hay, straw, or grass (whether baled, chopped, or cubed) onto private lands, except if you have permission from
the landowner; furthermore, it is now unlawful to transport uncertified hay, straw, or grass (whether baled, chopped, or cubed) within
Wallowa County. Therefore, if you have uncertified hay, straw, or grass (whether baled, chopped, or cubed) on public land
or on private land without the permission of the landowner, you could be cited for it, no matter where you acquired it. To be
legal, feed must meet the certification requirements of the North American Weed Management Association (NAWMA).
The reasons for this ordinance are: noxious weeds are being introduced to big game and livestock ranges; farmers, the county, ODFW,
and other landowners area 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 use because weed seed is sterilized in the pelleting process.
Horse users are urged to use pellets when possible.
Wallowa Co is asking all hunters, campers, and landowners to cooperated in this effort. Hay will be available at the Hay Station in
Minam, at Wallowa, Enterprise, and Joseph. 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 Vegetation Manager 541-426-3332; Wallowa Co Extension 541-426-3143; or the Wallowa Mt Visitor Center 541-426-4978.

Youth - Controlled 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. The deer hunts listed below and elk hunts listed on page 77, are part of a program to encourage youth participation
in big game hunting. These hunts are designed to provide young hunters with a safe, well-supervised, low-stress setting where they
can enjoy the hunt while building fun­da­men­tal skills. Youths must be accompanied by an adult at least 21 years of age. Adults may not
accompany more than two youths.
To apply, hunters must be 12-17 years old at the time they hunt, have completed a hunter education class by the time they hunt (see
page 87 for Hunter Education Requirement) and possess a hunting license. Youth selected for these hunts will be provided with ad­
di­tion­al in­for­ma­tion and rec­om­men­da­tions about preparing for the hunt. See pages 13-15 for application procedures. Hunters should
apply for more than one hunt area. use complete hunt number when applying.

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 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 accompanied by an 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 86 to learn about guaranteed controlled hunt
tags for youths through the “First Time” youth program. See pages 84-85 to learn about the Mentored Youth Hunter Program.

LEAD IN AMMUNITION

Lead is a toxin which can affect wildlife health and can be fatal at higher levels. Ingestion of lead shot by birds and subsequent
death from lead poisoning was identified as early as the 1870’s and 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 You Can 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-toxic” alternatives. If you choose to use lead ammunition or shot while hunting, remove or bury all shot
animals and gut piles from the field. We can reduce accidental exposure rates for all wildlife here in Oregon through voluntary
efforts with your help.

LATE SEASON ANTLERLESS ELK HUNTS

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has a statutory obligation to address property damage and that is the primary
purpose of late antlerless elk hunts. Landowners suffering damage acknowledge these late hunts help them at a time when elk
are seeking growing forage, especially pastures.

Late season antlerless elk hunts present hunters with challenges and recognizing these challenges will improve chances for
a successful hunt. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and Oregon State Police would like to provide you with some
information to help with one of those challenges and minimize the potential for a violation.

One potential violation during late season hunts is killing a bull after the antlers have dropped. Bulls that have shed their antlers
are not legal during antlerless elk seasons. In these regulations, “Antlerless elk” are defined as a cow or calf elk.

From a distance, bulls that have shed antlers may look like a cow elk, especially in low light situations. Hunters with late-
season antlerless elk tags are encouraged to look carefully at elk when hunting in late February and March. Avoiding shed-
antlered bulls in the late winter will assure compliance with the law and save these valuable animals for breeding stock as well
as a potential trophy for a hunter the next fall.

There are several clues to help hunters determine the


sex of an elk during these late hunts. Generally, older
bulls drop antlers earlier than younger bulls and older
bulls also tend to be solitary or in herds with other
bulls. Bulls with shed antlers are typically lighter in
body color with a more reddish (reddish-brown) mane
than cow elk. A close look at the top of the head of a
bull reveals the pedicles from which the antlers grow.
The bulls most often associated with cow/calf groups
are spikes and other young bulls that usually do not
drop antlers until late-March or April.

If you make a mistake and believe that you have


inadvertently shot a bull, don’t compound the mistake
by risking an additional charge of waste. Contact the
Oregon State Police and solicit their assistance; this
allows for the salvage of the animal which ultimately
goes to a charitable institution.

Always promote safe, legal and ethical hunting


practices to ensure quality hunting for future
generations.

Good hunting!

HUNT SAFELY – HUNT RESPONSIBLY


Every hunter has the responsibility to enter the field well prepared to hunt in a safe, ethical manner; the future of
our hunting heritage depends on it.
The Four Primary Rules of Firearm Safety
1. Muzzle – Control the direction of your muzzle at all times.
2. Trigger – Keep your finger outside of the trigger guard until ready to shoot.
3. Action – Treat every firearm as though it were loaded – Open the action and visually check if it is loaded. Firearms should be
unloaded with actions open when not actually in use.
4. Target – Be sure of your target, and what is in front of it and beyond it.

I have reviewed the primary rules of firearm safety above and understand that I will be expected to follow these and all
additional safety precautions as they are explained to me by the supervising hunter.

WEAR HUNTER ORANGE - It’s the law for young hunters!
Most firearm incidents during big game hunting are vision related
- a hunter is shot because they were not seen. Hunter orange
clothing makes it much easier for one hunter to recognize another
hunter because nothing in nature matches this color. Beginning
August 1, 2011 all hunters ages 17 and below must wear a hunter
orange hat or vest while hunting big game and upland game birds
(except turkey) with any firearm. ODFW strongly encourages all
hunters to wear HUNTER ORANGE.

to hunter safety for all ages. For more information, or to find hunter education

cooperative travel management areas
Through cooperative agree­ment, motor vehicle use is limited to specific rds for dates and areas listed be­low. Maps of most areas will be
available by Sept. We do not carry maps of areas that are easily plotted on forestry maps. Old maps should not be relied on because rds
