Hiller, Ph.D. Carnivore-Furbearer Coordinator Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Wildlife Division 3406 Cherry Ave NE Salem, OR 97303-4924 Furbearer Program Report 2010-2011 2 Note: Data provided in this report came from various sources, such as historic Oregon Department of Fish and Wild- life (ODFW) Game Division reports, annually collected furbearer harvest and monitoring data, and the Oregon Territorial Council on Furs, Inc. Every effort has been made to present accurate data. Data will be updated and, if necessary, corrected in future reports. Please contact ODFW for suggestions to improve this report. Please note that data collection methods change over time, so assessment of trends may be more useful than actual values in some instances. Harvest data are generally based on mandatory harvest reporting. Although compliance for reporting has been >95% in recent years, harvest values should be considered estimated mini- mum harvest in most instances. Data on pelt prices were not corrected for inflation and weighted averages were used for multiple within-year information when necessary.
