(2) Wildlife that shows symptoms of sickness or injury, or that is dead from disease, must not be used in competitive hunting dog trials or the training of hunting dogs or raptors.

(3) Any person who takes or attempts to take wildlife, including domestically-raised game birds, during a competitive hunting dog trial or while training a hunting dog or raptor, must meet the hunting license and state bird validation (stamp) requirements contained in the Department's current Oregon Game Bird, Big Game, and Furbearer Hunting/Trapping Regulations.

(4) Recall pens may be used on private lands to capture domestically-raised upland game birds which were released for a competitive hunting dog trial or hunting dog or raptor training, provided that, upon discovery, any unmarked game bird(s) (except bobwhite and Coturnix quail) or other wildlife caught incidentally must be released immediately.

(5) For the purposes of these rules, domestically-raised game birds that have been used for competitive hunting dog trials or hunting dog and raptor training are considered inedible.
