Oregon Rabbit by Bow?

[Smossy]

I've got a trip planned to Oregon In July for a camping trip by the beach. I know the population of rabbit there is INSANE and I want to pick me off a few maybe with my bow.


My question is, Does anyone know anything about the Oregon regulations on this? I tried to look at theyre pdf of odfw but It just talks about fur-bearers/trapping. Not sure if that applies to what I'm wanting to do.
Plink Plink I just want to eat a few rabbits and get some nice looking furs. 

If anyone knows Id like to know the price its going to cost me for "if possible" the 3-5 Day Non-residential small game license for Oregon.
Cheers.

I believe you would need a non-resident hunting license, at a cost of $140.

Is that for game animals? Or small game?

Call ODFW??

Both. I don't see anything for just small game, or for only a few days. They have a 3 day non resident bird license for $26.50. But as you know, rabbits aren't birds.

So you're stuck with the only option being an annual license for $140.

I could be wrong. That's just what I'm seeing.

Thats a great post but It didnt really help. Im looking for legality and prices. Im not cool with paying 150$ to kill a rabbit. 55$ maybe. But I cant find anywhere even in the manual that has the info Im looking for.

Good enough then. The legality stuff is all there, and it states you need a hunting license. Go here:
http://www.dfw.state.or.us/resources/licenses_regs/hunting_trapping.asp#Small

1/4 of the way down, the hunting license is listed at $140 for non-residents.

So it looks like Bobcat is right. Just be careful you don't stump shoot and ruin $140 worth of arrows.

Yeah your right, Jeesh If I was gonna fork down $140 I might as well find me a bigger game animal in season and make it worth it

You wanna hunt elk in Oregon- that'll be about $700.   

I agree, it seems like they ought to have a cheaper alternative for someone who just wants to kill a couple rabbits.

Are rabbits even open season in July?     (I know in this state rabbit season just closed last week and won't open until September).

Be veddy veddy quiet, Im hunting wabbits, huhuhuhh.

I'd pay it if I were going down there to do nothing but hunt rabbits for 3-4 days.  Thats good fun. Probably not worth it if you've got other stuff to do while you're there though.
