The rule is now in effect and will be part of the temporary rule package presented to the <br />Commission for ratification during their Feb. 4, 2011 meeting in Salem. <br />The temporary rule: <br />• Lifts the prohibition on training on game bird nesting habitat from April- August <br />on private lands and identified dog training areas on public lands. ( For example, <br />Sauvie Island, Klamath and Denman Wildlife Areas feature specific dog - training <br />areas.) <br />• Puts in rule the permit dog trainers will need to use to release domestically - <br />raised game birds. The free permit is available online and is valid once <br />downloaded and completed. <br />• Allows for the taking of properly marked domestically- raised game birds during <br />training activities on private lands and identified dog training areas on public <br />lands. <br />"Without the temporary rule, much of the dog training going on in Oregon is probably in <br />violation of state rule and statute," said Kevin Blakely, acting ODFW deputy director. <br />We look forward to working with the advisory group to give trainers and field trial <br />organizers a lawful way to conduct their business and activities while not unreasonably <br />impacting wildlife in their habitats." <br />Contact: Michelle Dennehy (503) 947 -6022 / (503) 931 -2748 <br />Fax: (503) 947-6009 <br />I T04wildilLe <br />© ODFW.
