12/26/09 2009 Oregon Hunt Harvest Report

Please complete a survey for each big game tag you purchased for a hunt listed in the 2009 Oregon Big Game Regulations. Every hunter is required to report harvest and effort information for each tag purchased. Information from hunters who did not hunt or did not harvest an animal is as important as from those who did take an animal. There are two ways to report, via the internet link or by phone at 1-866-947-ODFW (6339) and use the Automated Phone System. By completing the mandatory hunter report, you are providing key pieces of information that biologists will use in their game management actions. Your report supports the agency’s goal of optimizing recreational opportunities for all hunters. You may still get a phone call from ODFW. For data comparison purposes, the same information will be collected each year from a sampling of hunters through telephone surveys.

12/26/09 Apply for controlled hunts early for chance to win Sports Pac or Non-Resident Hunting License

Most of you undoubtedly realize that ODFW’s controlled hunt tag application system is often overloaded by hunters who wait until the last minute to purchase their license and apply for tags. In fact, in 2009, the tag application deadline had to be moved back because so many hunters waited to the last minute that the system “crashed”. ODFW has decided to establish some incentives for hunters to apply for controlled hunts early in 2010. Resident hunters who apply for and are issued a controlled big game hunt application by April 15, 2010 will be entered into drawings for a 2011 Resident Sports Pac, a $164.75 value. Non-resident hunters who apply by the same deadline will be entered into a drawing for a 2011 non-resident hunting license, a $140.50 value. A total of 100 Sports Pac or non-resident hunting licenses will be given away. 

Hunters can apply for controlled hunts online, at a license sales agent, at ODFW offices that sell licenses, or by mail or fax order using the application found here or on page 15 of the 2010 Oregon Big Game Regulations.

12/26/09 Archery Clubs Adopt Special 2010 Tournament Rates to Encourage OBH Membership

Two OBH affiliated archery clubs recently adopted fees for their 2010 3-D trail shoots that will reward membership in OBH. The Bend Bowmen in Bend , Oregon and the Wapiti Bowmen in Lebanon , Oregon have both recently adopted fees which provide a $3 discount at their 3-D shoots when the shooter presents his/her current OBH membership card at the fee booth. (NOTE:  Green Valley Archers also offer a discount for OBH membership at their 3-D shoots.)

Craig Starr, President of Wapiti Bowmen, said, “I hope that the discount will attract new members to OBH from Oregon ’s 30,000 plus bow hunters.  If you shoot at 8 to 10 3-D shoots a year like I do, the discount will pay for the cost of an annual OBH membership. I hope that other clubs will decide to offer a discount for OBH membership as well.”

Oregon ’s bow hunters have long benefited as OBH has protected and expanded archery hunting opportunities in Oregon . Now, with the discounts being offered to OBH members at more 3-D trail shoots in 2010, an OBH membership will be even more valuable.
