  • 2020 Upland Game Bird Hunting Season Frameworks
    Oregon Upland Game Bird Hunting Season Framework Effective dates: September 1, 2015 through August 31, 2020 Prepared by Wildlife Division Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife 4034 Fairview Industrial Dr SE Salem, Oregon 97302 Proposed 2015 -2020 Upland Game Bird Framework Executive Summary Oregon’s diverse habitats support 12 species of upland game birds, 8 of which are native, and 10 of which have hunting seasons. This document contains the proposed framework for upland game bird hunting seasons for the next five years. The seasons are designed to provide recreational hunting opportunities compatible with the overall status of upland game bird populations. The multi-year framework approach for setting upland game bird regulations was first adopted by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission in 1996 for a 3-year period and again in 1999, 2004, and 2009 for 5-year periods. The role of regulations in game bird management has many functions including protection of a species, providing recreational opportunities, and in consultation with hunters to provide bag limits and seasons. Regulations should be as simple as possible to make them easy to understand. These frameworks are also based on the concept that annual fluctuations in upland bird numbers, which can vary greatly and are normal, should not be the basis for setting hunting seasons year by year. Standardized frameworks are biologically sound management tools that help the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (Department) provide consistent, stable regulations that reduce confusion, assist hunters with planning trips, and lower administrative costs. In an effort to stabilize hunting regulations, the following concepts are the foundation for the frameworks offered in this document: Many upland game bird populations exhibit a high annual death rate and cannot be stockpiled from year to year Similar annual death rates occur in most upland game bird populations whether they are hunted or not.

  • Mourning Dove (Zenaida Macroura)
    Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura) February 2006 Fish and Wildlife Habitat Management Leaflet Number 31 General information The mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) is one of the most widely distributed and abundant birds in North America. Fall populations of this game bird in the United States are estimated to be slightly more than 400 million birds. In recent years, the annual harvest by hunting in the United States has been estimated at 18 to 25 million birds, similar to the harvest of all oth- er migratory game birds combined. Mourning doves are highly adaptable, occurring in most ecological types except marshes and heavily forested areas. The mourning dove is a medium-sized member of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Columbidae family. While this family consists of ap- Mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) proximately 300 species of doves and pigeons, only 8 species, including the mourning dove, are native tends his wings and begins a long spiraling glide back to the United States.

SANDERS, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Division of Migratory Bird Management, 1211 SE Cardinal Court Suite 100, Vancouver, WA 98683 Abstract: This report summarizes information collected annually in the United States on survival, recruitment, abundance and harvest of mourning doves. We report on trends in the number of doves heard and seen per route from the all-bird Breeding Bird Survey (BBS), and provide absolute abundance estimates based on band recovery and harvest data. Harvest and hunter participation are estimated from the Migratory Bird Harvest Information Program (HIP). BBS data suggested that the abundance of mourning doves over the last 48 years increased in the Eastern Management Unit (EMU) and decreased in the Central (CMU) and Western (WMU) Management Units. Estimates of absolute abundance are available only since 2003 and indicate that there are about 275 million doves in the United States; annual abundance during the recent 5 years appears stationary in the EMU and WMU, but may be declining in the CMU.

  • BLUE GROUSE and RUFFED GROUSE (Dendragapus Obscurus and Bonasa Umbellus)
    Chapter 13 BLUE GROUSE AND RUFFED GROUSE (Dendragapus obscurus and Bonasa umbellus) Harry Harju I. CENSUS – A. Production Surveys – 1. Rationale – Random brood counts are a survey method used to assess the reproductive success of blue or ruffed grouse. Unfortunately, these counts are done too late in the year to be considered in setting or adjusting hunting seasons. If the sample size is large enough, the counts can help identify important habitats used by broods and can provide insight to the potential quality of hunting in the fall. 2. Application – Random brood counts can be conducted on foot, from horseback or from a vehicle and should cover all portions of the brood-rearing area. A good pointing dog is invaluable to locate broods. If a flushing dog is used, it should be trained to walk very close to the observer. Each time a grouse is seen, record the species, location, age, sex and habitat on a wildlife observation form. If a count is incomplete, circle the number of birds recorded. The time frame for these surveys is July 15 to August 31. Warm, clear days are best for brood counts. The best results are obtained by searching for broods in the first two and last three hours of daylight. When a well-trained dog is used, counts can be conducted throughout the day. 3. Analysis of Data – Refer to chapter 12 (Sage-grouse), Section II.B (Brood Production). 4. Disposition of Data – All records of brood observations are forwarded to Regional Wildlife Management Coordinators for proofing, and then entered into the Wildlife Observation System Database.
