I casually target shoot and I'm familiar with firearms and firearms safety. However, I've never been hunting and I have zero knowledge in that area.
I'd like to start hunting small game in order to learn...rabbits, squirrels, etc. Planning on getting a .22 rifle (a 10/22 most likely) to start out.
My very first questions relate to the licensing requirements for hunting and where one can legally hunt.
- Do you need to be an Oregon resident to get a license?
- Do you even need a license for small game?
- If so, is there required training and a background check?
- What are the actual steps in getting a license and is there anything required beyond that?
- Once you're legally able to hunt, where can you hunt? Where are some good places to hunt small game in Oregon relatively near the Portland metro area?
I did see these 2 threads, so will definitely scan them for info:

Hunting on Public Land--Where to Do It?
I am having difficulty finding clarity on where I can shoot something that moves? HA! More specifically, rabbits, etc. that you can hunt all year long. Some of you know I am quite new and online information doesn't seem to exist. I recently got a Oregon Big Game Hunting Regulations 2019...

Whats the difference between the Sports Pac and the Combined Angling and Hunting? The Sports Pac is significantly more and both include hunting and fishing..
