Pheasant hunting question

[OldTengu]

If I have my upland bird permit, do I need the additional fee pheasant license or is that just for the fee hunts?
Thanks!

Just for the state wildlife area fee hunts in Oct.

There is other stuff put upon us than the fees and permits, Best you get the applicable regulations and just do what you can at understanding. (so far, amazingly enough, free)

When I started hunting, we called it a synopsis, almost a Jack Webb mentality (just the facts mam) which to me, young and impatient, thought couldn't get any worse.
Boy was I wrong!
There is no end to the restrictions, fees, and complete ambiguity the government can come up with.

Usually, if you have a permit for upland birds, you don't need an extra license for pheasants unless you're doing paid hunts. But it's a good idea to check the local rules to be certain.

There are pheasants left in western oregon???

For Oregon, like the first response said, you only need the fee permit for fee pheasant hunts at Sauvie Island, EE Wilson, or Denman Wildlife Areas. The permit is $25 and is good for two birds per permit. You can buy unlimited permits.

Washington runs its own fee pheasant program and there are many, many sites and the fee is a one-time annual fee for I believe unlimited birds. Fee is quite a bit higher though.

And also Fern Ridge wildlife area (now closed for pheasant).
