HUNTERS – WE NEED YOUR GROUSE WINGS AND TAILS

Ruffed grouse, blue grouse, and mountain quail wings and tails provide ODFW biologists important information about the health of the populations. Hunters can help by donating a wing and tail from harvested grouse and mountain quail.

What to Do: 1. Remove one entire wing and whole tail including small rump feathers. 2. Place in PAPER collecting bags provided at ODFW offices or use your own PAPER bag (1 bird per bag). 3. Mark the bag with the date taken, WMU taken, and general location. 4. Drop bag off at designated collection sites located around the state or at ODFW offices. A map of collection sites is available at myodfw.com. 5. If there will be a delay in dropping off your bag, please freeze it.

For additional information, including bags and pre-paid return envelopes, please call 503-947-6301. Photo by Mark Penninger

Find Great Bird Hunting in Oregon The edible portion of a game bird means, at a minimum the meat of the breast associated with the sternum. However, the Department encourages hunters to consume meat from the leg (drumstick), thigh, and wing when practicable. Many hunters don’t realize how much meat is lost when just the breast is consumed. On most game birds, 25% to 35% of the meat is found on just the legs and thighs, with only 55% to 60% found on the breast.

DON’T SHOOT IF IT’S A SPRUCE GROUSE

Spruce grouse are protected in Oregon and are not open to hunting

Spruce grouse only occur in the Wallowa Mountains of Baker, Union, and Wallowa counties of northeastern Oregon. Our small population of spruce grouse is likely geographically isolated from neighboring birds in Washington and Idaho, so we need to take extra care to protect them.

Spruce grouse are smaller than both blue and ruffed grouse. Male spruce grouse have a red eye comb, a black patch that covers the throat and upper chest, and white spotting on the lower chest. Females are browner and have white barring on the chest. Spruce grouse are often less wary of humans than blue and ruffed grouse. If you are grouse hunting in the Wallowa Mountains, please take the time to educate yourself on how to identify a spruce grouse before going out in the field. Artist: Buck Spencer

The most up-to-date MORE OPPORTUNITY COMES WITH regulations online. GREATER RESPONSIBILITY

For over 35 years NW Oregon hunters have proven their ability to avoid harvesting dusky geese and we still need your help to keep goose hunting in NW Oregon a great opportunity!

• With a closed dusky goose season, it is now more important than ever for hunters to hold their fire unless they are sure their target is not a dusky Canada goose. • Cackling geese are very abundant and relatively easy to identify. Hunters should shift their hunting efforts toward cacklers to avoid a costly mistake. • The online Northwest goose identification materials were revised with new information in 2015-16. Hunters are strongly encouraged to periodically review the materials to stay informed.

The future of goose hunting seasons in Northwest Oregon is in your hands. Should unlawful harvest of dusky geese lead to reduced dusky populations, managers may have no choice but to restrict hunting opportunities for all Canada geese in the region.

LEARN TO HUNT GAME BIRDS

Throughout the year, ODFW hosts several learn-to-hunt workshops designed to teach beginning hunters (or those who need a refresher) how to hunt game birds in Oregon. Participants learn how to handle firearms safely, hunt game birds, and clean birds after harvesting. Focus species include pheasant and waterfowl in the fall and turkey in the spring. Participants are required to complete an ODFW Shotgun Skills course before participating in a pheasant or waterfowl workshop. To register for ODFW workshops, visit myodfw.com/workshops-and-events. Workshops update seasonally, so be sure to check before your season starts.

2021-22 OREGON GAME BIRD REGULATIONS 47 OREGON GAME BIRD STAMPS

2021 Oregon Waterfowl Stamp 2021 Oregon Upland Game Bird Stamp

Cinnamon Teal by Guy Crittenden Spruce Grouse by Buck Spencer

Game Bird stamps are not automatically mailed to hunters. Game bird validations are printed on the hunting license, so it is no longer required that state hunting stamps be carried in the field. As a courtesy for several years ODFW had continued to mail the stamps to hunters each spring. However, some hunters are not interested in receiving the stamps. This, coupled with increasing production and mailing costs and mandates for all state agencies to reduce operational costs, prompted ODFW to begin a program where hunters with game bird validations can request stamps at no additional charge. This program saves a substantial amount of money which is used for programs such as game bird population surveys and habitat development. To request your game bird stamp(s), complete the on-line application: dfw.state.or.us/resources/hunting/waterfowl/stamp_order_form.asp
