HUNTERS – WE NEED YOUR GROUSE WINGS AND TAILS
Ruffed grouse, blue grouse, and mountain quail wings and tails provide ODFW biologists important
information about the health of the populations. Hunters can help by donating a wing and tail from harvested
grouse and mountain quail.
What to Do:
1. Remove one entire wing and whole tail including small rump feathers.
2. Place in PAPER collecting bags provided at ODFW offices or use your own PAPER bag (1 bird per bag).
3. Mark the bag with the date taken, WMU taken, and general location.
4. Drop bag off at designated collection sites located around the state or at ODFW offices. A map of collection
sites is available at myodfw.com.
5. If there will be a delay in dropping off your bag, please freeze it.
For additional information, including bags and pre-paid return envelopes, please call 503-947-6301. Photo by Mark Penninger

The edible portion of a game bird means, at a minimum the meat of the breast
associated with the sternum. However, the Department encourages hunters to consume
meat from the leg (drumstick), thigh, and wing when practicable. Many hunters don’t
realize how much meat is lost when just the breast is consumed. On most game birds,
25% to 35% of the meat is found on just the legs and thighs, with only 55% to 60% found
on the breast.

Special pheasant hunts are scheduled at the following locations. Birds will be stocked throughout the season. To participate in these hunts, each hunter must have in
possession a valid hunting license, upland game bird validation, and Western Oregon fee pheasant permit. See license requirements, page 8 for age exceptions. Each
permit will allow harvest of two rooster pheasants. Multiple permits may be purchased. Upon taking a pheasant, each hunter shall immediately record such taking
on the permit in ink or electronically record harvest. All hunters are required to check in and out of hunt areas at self-service stations located on each area and
carry the daily hunt permit while in the field. Hunter numbers will be limited at any one time to 150 on the E.E. Wilson WA and 75 on the Sauvie Island WA. The
possession or use of any shot other than federally-approved nontoxic shot is prohibited at all times. New to Fee Pheasant hunting, see page 30 for tips.

DON’T SHOOT IF IT’S A SPRUCE GROUSE
Spruce grouse are protected in Oregon and are not open to hunting
Spruce grouse only occur in the Wallowa Mountains of Baker, Union, and Wallowa counties of
northeastern Oregon. Our small population of spruce grouse is likely geographically isolated
from neighboring birds in Washington and Idaho, so we need to take extra care to protect them.
Spruce grouse are smaller than both blue and ruffed grouse. Male spruce grouse have a red
eye comb, a black patch that covers the throat and upper chest, and white spotting on the
lower chest. Females are browner and have white barring on the chest. Spruce grouse are
often less wary of humans than blue and ruffed grouse. If you are grouse hunting in the
Wallowa Mountains, please take the time to educate yourself on how to identify a spruce
grouse before going out in the field. Artist: Buck Spencer
