Wins Award
policy of the commission to make
every attempt to collect statutory
damages for unlawfully taken
game animals as provided by
OKS 496.705.
Phil Schneider, state game dir
ector, speaking for the commis
sioners, said the civil action pol
icy was adopted In an attempt
to provide an additional deter
rent to the willful violation of
the hunting laws.
Although the law providing for
th recovery of damages to the
state has been on the statutes
for some time, Schneider said
that the commission has been
reluctant in the past to use the
tool against game law offenders.
Flagrant violations, increasing In
number the past few years,
prompted tile commission to take
a closer look at the situation
from which the damage recov
ery policy was adopted.
Under the statutes provided by
ORS 496.705, the game commls
slon has the authority to instl
tute suit for recovery of dam
ages for the unlawful killing of
any of the game birds. and an
imals which are the property of
the state. The statute sets the
liability for the illegal killing
of game birds and animals shall
be as follows: elk, not less than
$100 nor more than $300; deer,
not less than $100 nor more
than $200; mountain sheep, not
less then $100 nor more than
$300; mountain goat, not less
than $100 nor more than $300;
antelope, not less than $100 nor
mori than $200;' any protected
game bird or waterfowl, not less
than $2 nor more than $5.
Such civil liability shall be
In addition to other penalties
as prescribed In this act for
the unlawful killing of game
birds and animals.
Schneider said that under the
policy the commission will In
stitute civil suit for recovery of
damages when a defendant has
been convicted of the crime of
unlawfully killing game ani
mals, and whore a defendant
was not convicted, but sufficient
evidence exists to sustain recov
ery. Although not limited to the
following categories, civil action
would be considered when the
crime- Included killing game out
of season; killing by prohibited
methods; exceeding the bag lim
it; killing illegal animals (does,
spikes, etc.); lack of license or
Improper license or tag; and kill
ing In preserves or other unauth
orized place.
