Commission Approves Strategies for Black-tailed Deer Management
ODFW
2/7/03
The Commission approved recommendations to address changes in western Oregon’s black-tailed deer populations for implementation during the next review of the big game regulations. The recommendations include:
Retain general rifle and general September archery seasons;
Maintain current season lengths, but if the rifle season must be reduced for biological reasons, the archery season also will be reduced.
Minimize the opportunity for a hunter to harvest more than one deer;
Pending a review of all archery seasons, make the late season archery hunt a controlled hunt;
Consider changes to the late-season Willamette Unit archery hunt.
Improve data collection through voluntary tooth collection or a mandatory reporting system;
and Use the Oregon Big Game Regulations as an educational tool.
