Hunting, fishing
licenses expire
Oregon sportsmen are re
minded that 1973 hunting and
fishing licenses expire along
with old New Year's resolu
tions on Dec. 31 and 1974
licenses are required begin
ning Jan. 1.
License documents are
being mailed to outlets
throughout the state and
should be available during the
last week of December. They
can be purchased now at the
regional and Portland offices
of the Game Commission.
The largest affected group
is the steelhead angling fra
ternity. That season is in full
swing with some of the best
angling frequently enjoyed in
late December and January,
weather permitting. Steelhead
anglers who think they might
want to go out Jan. 1 would be
wise to get their new licenses
early since it may be difficult
to find stores open on New
Year's Day.
A 1974 salmon-steelhead tag
is also needed starting Jan. 1
and anglers are asked to
return their expired punch
cards to the Game Commis
sion as soon as possible. The
information contained on
these cards is important in
determining angler success,
and vital to the anadromous
fish management program."

Although 1973 big game tags
are still valid for late season
permit hunts offered in Jan
uary and February, partici
pating hunters will need new
hunting licenses. The late
hunts include several special
permit elk hunts in Northwest
Oregon, a permit elk hunt in
the Troy area of Eastern
Oregon, and a late archery elk
hunt in parts of Western
Oregon.
The seasons for upland
game are all closed by the

huntkrs who can shoot into

ruary for black brant, should
be sure to get a new license.

-"rWhse fees for 1974 remain
unchanged. For the residents,
a hunting license is $5 and an
angling license is $6. Resident
sportsmen can save a dollar
by purchasing the combina
tion hunting and angling
license for $10. Salmon and
steelhead anglers, other than
daily angling license holders,
need, in addition to their
' angling licenses, the special
salmon-steelhead tag which
costs one dollar.
