Hunter education easie ' to sign up for
Oregon's hunter education
students can now register for a
class or field day on-line at OD-
FW's licensing sales website un-
der the "Classes/Workshops" tab.
Students may also register at
any license sales agent or ODFW
office that sells licenses and tags.
Previously, students or their par-
ents had to sign up by emailing or
calling class instructors.
"Students and their parents
have been asking for this for years,
and we're thrilled to finally be
able to offer it," said James Reed,
ODFW hunter education coordi-
nator. "It should streamline the
sign-up process for students and
our dedicated staff of volunteer
hunter education instructors.
To register, students will
need to purchase a huntec educa-
tion class application fee, which is
$10. When registering, the student
chooses the date and time of their
desired class or field day. Contact
information for the class instructor
is printed on their receipt.
Hunter education is mandato-
ry for all hunters under the age of
18 and recommended for any new
hunter. The course covers topics
like firearms safety, hunter ethics,
wildlife identification, hunt prepa-
ration and techniques and outdoor
survival.
, Student s may choose .to take
the hunter education course en-
tirely in a classroom setting or by
independent study (online or by
workbook). Independent students
must pass a required field day that
includes live fire exercises before
getting certified.

ODFW fishery managers
have released a 2012 Willamette
River spring chinook forecast of
83,400 fish.
That number is slightly higher
than last year's return of 80,254
fish.
A new law that went into ef-
fect Jan. 1 creates new definitions
for Class I, II and III all-terrain ve-
hicles and also defines a new Class
IV ATV.
Class I ATVs are now defined
as motorized, off-highway rec-
reational vehicles with three or
more pneumatic tires whose rim
diameter is 14 inches or less, have
straddle seating and are steered by
handlebars, are no more than 50
inches wide and have a dry weight
of 1,200 pounds or less.
Class II ATVs weigh more or
are wider than Class I ATVs and
are designed for cross-country
travel on or immediately over
land, water, sand, snow, ice, marsh,
swampland or other natural terrain
and are actually being operated
off-highway or on a highway for
agricultural purposes and does not
qualify as a Class IV ATV.
Class III ATVs are two-
wheeled, off-highway motorcy-
cles.
Class IV ATVs are motorized
vehicle fulfill the requirements of
Class I and II ATVs with the ex-
ceptions that they have nonstrad-
die seating, are controlled by a
steering wheel, have a dry weight
of 1,800 pounds or less and are 65
inches wide or less at the widest
point.
Class IV ATVs are exempt
from registration, titling (though
they may be optionally titled) and
accident-reporting requirements.
They are subject to child seat-
belt laws, bans against operation
on highways or railroads, helmet
laws, and safety laws involving
passengers and other vehicles,
such as snowmobiles.
Hunters may now donate to
predatory animal control, with
proceeds going to Oregon coun-
ties to help fund their local preda-
tor control programs.
The Oregon State Legislature
created this new program with the
passage of HB3636 earlier this
year.

agent or online will be asked if
they would like to make a preda-
tory animal control donation
through a $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, or
$100 contribution.
Any donation received will
be split among counties with a
predatory animal control program
where the license, tag or permit is
valid. For example, if the dona-
tion is made with the purchase of
a general hunting license, it would
be evenly distributed among all
counties with predatory animal
control programs because these
licenses are valid statewide. If the
donation is made with the pur-
chase of a controlled big game tag
for a particular wildlife manage-
ment unit, the donation would go
to the county (or counties) where
that unit is based, provided the
county has a predatory animal
control program.
