Commission Adopts Furbearer Trapping Regulations
SISTERS, Ore. – The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission adopted two-year regulations for the trapping and hunting of furbearers and other animals during its monthly meeting July 18 in Sisters.
The only major change from previous regulations was a reduction in the eastern Oregon bobcat bag limit from seven to five, a conservation measure in response to higher trapping pressure for this furbearer. The season dates and bag limits will remain the same for other furbearers (red and gray foxes, marten, muskrat/mink, raccoon, river otter). The season for predators, uncontrolled and non-native animals (badger, coyote, nutria, opossum, porcupine, spotted and striped skunks, weasels) will remain open all-year while the season for rare furbearers (wolverines, fishers, ringtail, kit foxes and sea otters) will remain closed.
