Or. Admin. Code § 603-010-0100 - Restrictions; Airborne Hunting
(1) The
Department is authorized to regulate the control of predatory animals and to
regulate the control of animals that are a menace pursuant to ORS Chapter 610
and ORS Chapter 570. The federal Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 as amended
(
16 U.S.C. Section
742 et seq.) allows for airborne
hunting under certain circumstances. Pursuant to this Act, airborne hunting or
shooting of animals is prohibited without a permit being issued by a state
authority. The Department has agreed to act as such state authority under the
provisions of said federal Act, for the issuance of such permits. Coyotes and
feral swine located in an established control area shall be the only animals
that may be the target of the permitted airborne hunting. The protection of
livestock, domesticated animals and natural resources shall be the only purpose
for which a permit may be issued or used.
(2) Unless otherwise provided by law, any
airborne hunting or harassment of other species of animals, or of coyotes or
feral swine without a permit being obtained under the provisions of OAR
603-010-0105 and 603-010-0110, or for purposes other than the protection of
livestock, domesticated animals or natural resources shall subject the hunter,
his pilot and assistants, and his equipment to the forfeiture and penalty
provisions of the federal Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 as amended.
