Help With Oregon Regs

[JohnFitzgerald]

So it looks like Oregon changed its regulations on proof of sex. From the way I\'m reading it, taking the complete head on a bull is proof enough.

Regs:

Possess the meat or carcass of any
deer, elk, pronghorn antelope, bighorn
sheep, or Rocky Mtn goat without evidence
of sex while in the field, forest, 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 for deer, elk,
pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep,
or Rocky Mountain goat is:
1) Either the animal?s scalp which shall
include the attached eyes and ears,
if animal is female; or ears, antlers or
horns, and eyes if the animal is male,
OR 2) the head naturally attached to
at least one quarter of the carcass
OR 3) reproductive organs (testicles,
scrotum, or penis, if male; vulva or udder
(mammary), if female) naturally attached
to one quarter of the carcass or to
another major portion of meat.

It sounds that way to me. I think the reproduction evidence would be easier to carry than the head attatched to a quarter.

It was just a matter of time that OR. would have this rule. A few other states have had it for awhile now. And yes the reproductive parts are the easiest way I think, just leave them attached to one of the quarters.

These regs look the same as last years. I don\'t have my regs here at the computer, but they appear the same as before. I am not sure what the purpose is for keeping proof of sex attached to an animal coming from an either sex unit. Even if it came from a bull only area would not the antlers and testicles in your pack be enough? The number of people that would try to disguise the gender of an elk sized animal that way would seem to be extremely small. I don\'t know. It just seems to be more hassle for the hunter for very little value if any.

Would love to see someone trying to pack that out on an elk :lol:

John that is the way I read it aswell, #1 all we have to do is pack out the head, bull or cow and that is evidence enough? #3 seems easiest however.

I bet that the head has to be attatched to a quarter. I know it is worded strange but it is all how the warden inerperates the law. I read it as either the scalp or the head naturally attactched to a quarter. I would make a phone call to check before carrying a head not attatched. I still think reproduction organ is an easier way and no questions about being legal.

If the head HAD to be attached to a quarter then why the #1 and number #2. Clearly the complete head as Stringunner suggested is adequate. Such a silly rule to me anyhow. I was willing to be a bit more liberal with what I knew the rule to be last year. I was in a nasty hole so bad I think the eternal lake of fire was about 3 feet below me. I could feel my feet getting hotter each step I took down into that hole. This was one of those \"leave the bones behind\" kinda pack jobs. I sure as heck wasn\'t about to be packing the nuts, bolts or quarters out. I would have been glad to show any warden my gut pile if he wanted to follow me into said hole. I felt like I had adequate proof of sex coming back out of there....even if my wimpering made me less of a man.
Just my .02

And who cares? The whole country in and around your hunting unit is either sex. The whole thing is a solution looking for a problem.

Exactly.....I do find it funny though how I post about that pack out taking a bit of manhood away and then I open up my email to find I received a coupon for bras that not only lift but support too! Wow....that sounds like a good deal to me. :dk:
