   If anyone is considering Snipe-hunting in Oregon, note that you need
a separate license and a tag which is good for three hundred Snipes. Be
sure to attach the tag to each snipe as the ODFW (Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife) needs this information in order to adjust yearly
seasons in an effort to preserve Snipe populations. The current 1998
regulations allow open-season Snipe hunting in the Willamette, Clackamas,
and Washington counties due to over-population. This is "hunter's choice"
so you can go for the females as well as the males. Coastal Snipe hunting
is prohibbited north of Lincoln county. A limited number of permits will
be issued for the Alsea and Klamath units. The high deserts of Eastern
Oregon are limited to bow hunting, sling-shots, and Barry Manilow music.
The notable exception is Umatilla county. Apparently an excess of Tequila
at the last Pendleton Round-Up dramatically reduced local populations.
For more information including maps, lodging, camp sites, etc, contact
the Oregon Department of Natural Redundancy or your local Natural Guard.
