New Oregon Big Game Regulation...
Just wanted to make sure everyone noticed this new Oregon regulation:

deer or elk killed in Oregon without
evidence of sex while in the field, for-est,
or in transit on any of the hwys or
premises open to the public in
Oregon, except processed or cut and
wrapped meat. Evidence of sex is:
For males: Head naturally attached
to carcass with antlers, or
testicles, scrotum, or penis
naturally attached to one quarter of
the carcass or to another
major portion of meat.
For females: Head naturally
attached to carcass, or vulva
or udder (mammary) naturally
attached to one quarter of the
carcass or to another major portion
of meat.

RE: New Oregon Big Game Regulation...
Thanks for the heads up.
We have had that requirement in Idaho for quite some time so I was prepared to do the same for my Oregon deer hunt this year in the Snake River Unit.
I carry a baggy with a tie off just for that purpose, to keep the " proof" away from the meat.

RE: New Oregon Big Game Regulation...
I also noticed that you have to purchase your tags before the season opener. So if you plan on buying your tags when you arrive, and the season is already going, are you SOL?
Unfortunatly I had to cancel my Oregon elk hunt this Sept., but hopefully next year I can follow these regs.
The evidence of sex is similar to Alaska, except that only the penis or vulva/mammory can be used as evidence of sex. On deer, antlers can be used for evidence of sex.

I guess it isn' t a bad reg, I doubt it will do much to curb poaching. Probably just one of those" Feel good laws"

RE: New Oregon Big Game Regulation...
where we archery hunt we are backing several rough miles and bivy camp, I MIGHT pack out the testicals but since we bone out the elk I certainly will not leave the head on a 1/4. I dont understand why an archer would have to leave anything in the way of " proof of sex" on an elk since its a cow or bull we are allowed. On mule deer of course we do since in most units it is buck only. I am going to call the game dept. on monday to clear this up.

It' s very simple and light weight to keep the evidence of sex attached to a quarter. We' ve had that law in Alaska for as long as I' ve been hunting, it' s not a problem. Just bring along a plastic bag from the grocery store and some rope, and tie it up.
