Section 635-050-0183 - Bobcat and River Otter Ownership Tags

(1) The ownership tag shall be affixed by Department personnel at district and regional offices and shall remain so affixed while the pelt is in raw form.

(2) Ownership tags may be used as foreign export tags.

(3) Each ownership tag authorizes the holder to sell the raw pelt from one bobcat or river otter.

(4) Each person shall have an ownership tag affixed to their bobcat or river otter pelt at a Department district or regional office within five business days after the season ends.

(5) It shall be unlawful to possess a raw pelt from a harvested bobcat or river otter after five business days following the closure of the harvest season in which it was harvested without an ownership tag.

(6) It shall be unlawful to sell or remove from the state the carcass or raw pelt of a harvested bobcat or river otter without the ownership tag affixed or as authorized by the Department.

(7) A furtaker shall be responsible for surrendering to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife the lower jawbone including both canine teeth and information on sex, date of catch and county of harvest attached to each individual Oregon bobcat and river otter jawbone to qualify for ownership tags. A district office may, on a case-by-case basis, waive the lower jawbone requirement, for example if the furtaker provides evidence that failure to provide the jawbone is due to unexpected circumstances beyond their control.

(8) The record card with the required information including species, sex, date of possession and county shall be presented to obtain an ownership tag.
