Waterfowl Season to Re-Open in Eastern Oregon
=20
Second Half of Goose and Duck Season Offers Additional Opportunities
=20
PORTLAND - The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife wants to remind =
waterfowl hunters in Eastern Oregon (Zone 2) that there is still ample =
opportunity during the current season to harvest ducks, geese and coots. =
=20
=20
For ducks, the first period season closed Dec. 3, but re-opens Friday, =
Dec. 13, in Jefferson, Deschutes, Klamath, Wheeler, Crook, Lake, Harney, =
Grant, Union, Wallowa, Baker and Malheur counties, and will continue =
through Jan. 26, 2003. Pintails, however, are an exception. Hunters were =
allowed to take pintails during the first part of the season, but are not =
allowed to harvest any during this second half. Due to population declines =
and habitat loss in drought-stricken areas in Canada, the pintail season =
was limited to 60 days within the 107-day overall duck season.=20
=20
For geese, the first period season closed Dec. 3 in Klamath, Lake, Harney =
and Malheur counties, while the season in all remaining eastern Oregon =
counties closes Tuesday, Dec. 10. The season will re-open Friday, Dec. =
20, in all eastern Oregon counties and will continue through Jan. 26, =
2003. =20
=20
For coots, the season is open concurrent with duck season, which re-opens =
Friday, Dec. 13, and runs through Jan. 26, 2003.
=20
Hunters are reminded to check the 2002-2003 Game Bird Regulations for =
specifics regarding particular seasons and bag limits. Information also is =
available on-line at www.dfw.state.or.us.
