The Oregon Ixgivlaturc during its
last session approved a bill that, begin
ning in 1990. will require all upland
bird hunters of this state to purchase,
in addition to a regular-hunting license,
a special Oregon Upland Bird Stamp
for the taking of pheasants, partridge,
quail and grouse
According to Ken Durbin, staff game
bird biologist for the Oregon IXrparl
ment of Eish and W ildlifc. sales of the
$5 stamp arc expected to generate an
additional $250.(MX) for Oregon's
upland bird program, and will be used for a variety of projects statewide.
"The stamp is intended to expand upland bird management programs,"
Durbin said. "Some of it would go into propagation of other birds, with
the focus on birds that have potential of providing self sustaining popula
twins in the wild f)ne thing we're looking at is an experimental program
with a subspec ies of ringneck pheasant that Michigan is pioneering that
they got directly from China a few years ago Then we re looking at ex
paneling a juvenile hunt program
Currently the only “ juvenile hunt ” available is a special two weekend
hunt held annually in September at the E E Wilson Management Area
near Corvallis, where young hunters accompanied by an adult (who may
not hunt) can hunt an abundant population of stocked pheasants
" It's intended to provide a good opportunity for the youngster to have
a gmid hunt for pheasants." Durbin said “ We've had it at just this one
management area for years, and we'd like to expand it to other manage
ment areas around the state ”
Durbin said other projects for the stamp monies will include habitat
enhancement programs, improving hunter access through the acquisition
or leasing of lands and creating informative extension materials available
to landowners wishing to create and enhance upland bird habitat on private
-acreages
Propagation efforts are designed to introduce new upland bird popula
tions into areas for which they may be well suited, ultimately providing
additional hunting opportunities One ongoing effort has been the introduc
tion of the French red legged partridge into many parts of the state, although
the project thus far is said to have produced spotty results
"By the end of this biennium we re going to have to decide whether
to continue that program or not We re getting mixed success with it; in
a few areas it appears to be doing fairly well, but in other areas it doesn't
seem to he taking hold--although it may Mil! be too sixin to say."
Biologists had hoped the "rcdlcg.” which is similar in appearance to
the popular chukar partridge but prefers lower elevations and brushy
habitat, would be ideally suited to the valley areas of WcMcm Oregon,
but Durbin said the best propagation so far has been achieved in Umatilla
¡County, near Pendleton
Durbin said sales of the new stamp will also give the department a bet
ter idea of the number of upland bird hunters throughout the state
"O ne of the things that has always been difficult is getting a good han
dle on upland bird hunters because they're just sort of mixed in there with
our overall license buyers Wc really don’t know how many there arc or
, where they arc "
Gaining this type of information, Durbin said, will allow department
researchers to conduct more accurate harvest surveys which, in turn, may
point to more efficient management practices,
"Upland bird management has always been sort of a ‘weak sister,' Dur
bin said "You know. our state like nioM western states -has a pretty strong
hxus on big game, so bird programs generally tend to take a back scat.
But there is a strong interest, and there is a lot of things that we can do
and that need doing, and this (stamp) is really an encouraging thing in
that it gives us an opportunity to expand some efforts " _____________
