2010 Oregon Pheasant Hunting Forecast
Forecast: Cooler and wetter than average weather persisted through nesting and early brood rearing in 2010. And while that likely hampered initial reproductive efforts, re-nesting efforts appear strong and habitat conditions are very good, according to Dave Budeau, upland game bird coordinator with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. That means harvest should equal or exceed last year, when 6,857 hunters put 33,722 Oregon pheasants into their game vests. As usual, the majority of pheasant hunters should direct their compasses to the Columbia Basin and northern Malheur County. Of note is the fact that Oregon's Willamette Valley is the birthplace of pheasants in the United States. In fact, the Owen Denny Chapter of Pheasants Forever pays homage to the U.S. Ambassador to China who first introduced the king of game birds to America. Season Dates: October 9 through December 31 Daily Bag Limit: 2 Possession Limit: 8 Field Notes: To help public hunters navigate vast opportunities, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, with support from the National Shooting Sports Foundation and the Oregon Wildlife Heritage Foundation, has created the Oregon Hunting Map. The map features more than 100 public areas, letting visitors know details about them and what species they'll find.- Go rabbit or pheasant hunting with ODFW Outdoors Program - Dec. 18, 2009

Oregon Pheasant Hunting Information
Oregon's roadside survey showed an increase in pheasant numbers of 50 percent from last year, when 9,700 hunters harvested over 33,700 roosters. The staples of Oregon's pheasant hunting are the Columbia Basin and Northern Malheur County, as these two areas accounted for nearly 80 percent of the pheasant harvest last year. There is also growing excitement about efforts to improve upland game bird habitat on private land in Oregon (of which Pheasants Forever was an initial cooperator), which sprang in Morrow County, and has expanded into the Columbia Basin. Looking for a mixed bag? Oregon offers hunting for 10 species of upland game birds. * Season Dates: October 10 thru December 31 * Daily Bag / Possession Limits: 2 / 8
