Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 635 - DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE › Division 75 - LANDOWNER HUNTING PREFERENCE AND OUTFITTERS AND GUIDES TAG ALLOCATION › Section 635-075-0010 - Hunting Area Allowed With Landowner Hunting Preference Tags

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) A landowner
			 preference tag authorizes the recipient to hunt only on those lands owned and
			 registered in the Landowner Preference Program by the landowner, and meeting
			 the minimum acreage requirements for that hunt, during the season dates for
			 which the tag is valid, except as provided for in OAR
			 635-075-0010(4) and
			 (5).
(2) Except as provided in OAR
			 635-075-0010(7),
			 landowner hunting preference tags are valid on the landowner's registered
			 property in other controlled hunt areas provided the species, bag limits, and
			 season dates are the same, and the landowner's property in that area either:

Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 635 - DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE › Division 75 - LANDOWNER HUNTING PREFERENCE AND OUTFITTERS AND GUIDES TAG ALLOCATION › Section 635-075-0011 - Oregon Landowner Damage Program

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) This rule implements HB 2027A, through
			 which the 2013 Legislative Assembly directed the Department to implement an
			 Oregon Landowner Damage Program. As directed by statute, the program addresses
			 damage caused by elk on privately owned lands in Oregon by granting damage tags
			 to qualifying landowners.
(2) A
			 "qualifying landowner" is:
(a) An individual,
			 partnership, corporation, unincorporated association or other nongovernmental
			 entity which;
(b) Owns, leases or
			 rents land in Oregon; and
(c) Whose
			 land:
(A) Is (at the time of application)
			 suffering damage from elk; or
(B)
			 Has within the past five years suffered damage from elk and the Department has
			 taken action to alleviate that damage; or
(C) Is in an area designated as an "elk
			 de-emphasis zone" by the Department.

			 landowner hunting preference tag may be exchanged for another landowner hunting
			 preference controlled hunt of the same hunt type provided the controlled hunt
			 area includes the same landowner's property. For example, a landowner may
			 exchange a landowner preference controlled bull tag for a landowner preference
			 controlled antlerless elk tag.
(2)
			 The landowner hunting preference tag, except controlled antlerless deer tag,
			 may be exchanged for a general season tag.
(a) Tags must be exchanged prior to the
			 season(s) for which such tags are valid.

Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 635 - DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE › Division 75 - LANDOWNER HUNTING PREFERENCE AND OUTFITTERS AND GUIDES TAG ALLOCATION › Section 635-075-0022 - Landowner Hunting Preference Tags for Mule Deer

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) This rule further implements HB 2027A
			 whereby the 2013 Legislative Assembly directed the Department through the
			 commission to specify a formula that bases the number of landowner preference
			 tags available for mule deer on the management, research, and habitat needs set
			 forth in the wildlife management plan for mule deer.
(2) For purposes of this rule, the population
			 management objectives (MOs) for each wildlife management unit that were adopted
			 by the commission in August 2016 are considered representative of the
			 management, research, and habitat needs for mule deer.
(3) The formula to determine the number of
			 landowner hunting preference tags available for buck deer in a unit is as
			 follows:
(a) In those wildlife management
			 units where the estimated mule deer population is less than 60% of the
			 established population management objective, the number of landowner hunting
			 preference tags available for buck deer in that unit may be limited to five
			 tags or 10 percent of the total controlled buck tags authorized for the public
			 for each hunt in that unit by the commission, whichever is greater.
(b) In those wildlife management units where
			 the estimated mule deer population is equal to or more than 60% of the
			 established population management objective, but less than 80% of the
			 established population management objective, the number of landowner hunting
			 preference tags available for buck deer in that unit may be limited to five
			 tags or 15 percent of the total controlled buck tags authorized for the public
			 for each hunt in that unit by the commission, whichever is greater.
(c) In the Biggs, Columbia Basin, and Mount
			 Emily wildlife management units, and in the NE Owyhee 167A hunt area, and in
			 those wildlife management units where the estimated mule deer population is
			 equal to or more than 80% of the established population management objective,
			 the number of landowner hunting preference tags available for buck deer in that
			 unit may be issued based upon a landowner's acreage as set forth in
			 635-075-0005(8).
(d) If conditions such as but not limited to
			 disease or harsh winter weather occur, resulting in adoption of a Temporary OAR
			 to reduce 100 Series mule deer tags by equal to or more than 25% from the
			 number authorized by the Commission in areas listed or described in
			 635-075-0022(3)(c),
			 Limited Landowner Preference mule deer tags in those areas may be limited as
			 described in 635-075-0022(3)(b).
Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 635 - DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE › Division 75 - LANDOWNER HUNTING PREFERENCE AND OUTFITTERS AND GUIDES TAG ALLOCATION › Section 635-075-0024 - Issuing Leftover Limited Landowner Hunting Preference Tags

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) If landowner
			 preference tags remain from the controlled hunts described in
			 635-075-0020(1)(b)
			 and 635-075-0022(3)(a)
			 after the game mammal controlled hunt drawing, the Department will issue
			 remaining tags to qualified landowners in the following manner:
(a) The tags shall be issued on a first-come,
			 first-served basis.
(b) The
			 Department will set the time, date, and any constraints (i.e., online or
			 through License Agents only) for the sale of the tags.
(c) Only landowners who still have tags
			 available for allocation on their property as set forth in
			 635-075-0005
			 (8) may apply for and receive tags remaining
			 in the quota. Such a tag may be for the landowner or for someone other than the
			 landowner listed on their tag distribution form.
(d) Limited landowner tags from the quota are
			 not an additional hunting opportunity for the landowner or hunter.
(A) If the hunter has a general elk season or
			 200 Series controlled hunt tag, they are not eligible to receive a tag for a
			 hunt described in 635-075-0020(1)(b)
			 with limited landowner elk tags.
(B) If the hunter has a general deer season
			 or 100 Series controlled hunt tag, they are not eligible to receive a tag for a
			 hunt described in 635-075-0022(3)(a)
			  with limited landowner deer tags.

			 emergency situation or for a biological need. In the event of a tag number
			 reduction of 50% or more for the current hunt year, Outfitter and Guide tags
			 will be reduced proportionately to the overall tag reduction. Tags will be
			 reallocated based on the application draw number.
(e) For the purposes of these rules,
