Commission approves accommodations for Oregon hunters in military
service
 
SALEM - The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission today approved a measure
reinstating hunting preference points lost by Oregon residents whose
active military service commitments prohibit them from participating in
or applying for controlled hunts. 
 
The Commission's action requires active members of the U.S. Military,
reserves or Coast Guard, or family members of active service personnel,
to apply for reinstatement of lost preference points. The measure also
requires documentation from a serviceperson's supervising officer,
confirming that active duty obligations resulted in lost hunter
preference points. The move will go into effect by next week. 
 
The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission is the policy-making body for
fish and wildlife issues in the state. The seven-member panel meets
monthly. The next regular Commission meeting is May 13 in Prineville.
