Columbia river question
« on: January 20, 2011, 04:48:41 PM »
If I'm hunting on the Columbia river, is there a Washington side and an Oregon side?  If there is, how can you tell the difference?  At what point in the river is my Washington license not valid?

You must be talking about hunting with a boat? I am not a 100% sure, since I don't hunt waterfowl from a boat. If you are putting in on the washington side.+ Not setting up on the Oregon shore, I would think you would be o.k. I am sure someone else will be able to help you out more. Hunting from a boat is not my area of expertise.

Unless you are going to hunt out of your boat, just set up on the Washington side and you will be fine.   :chuckle:

Yes, there is a Washington and Oregon side.  Unlike fishing you can fish up to the bank on either side.  There is a dividing line down the middle of the river.  You can probably find it on line.  It almost seems to follow the channel markers.  You will want to verify before you head out, so you know which islands are considered Oregon and which are Washington islands.  Same goes for the goose hunting.  I would always buys licenses for Oregon and Washington.  If you hold licenses for both states, you can only shoot one limit as well.  It's a federal rule.  So, you technically can't go on the Oregon side and shoot 7 birds then go on Washington and shoot another 7 in the same day.

Can't cross the channel into Oregon if you don't have an Oregon license
