Oregon Rabbit by Bow?
« on: March 19, 2013, 11:02:29 AM »
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.  :archer:

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??  :dunno:
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

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.

Google is your friend.


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  :bash:

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

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?  :dunno:   (I know in this state rabbit season just closed last week and won't open until September).
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

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.
