THE OPEN SEASON FOR DEER 
The open season for killing deer with horns for the 
entire state begins August 15th and ends October 31st. 
All does and spotted fawns, or young deer of the first 
year are protected by law. ‘There is no open season on 
elk, antelope or mountain sheep in Oregon. ‘The limit 
for each hunter during the open season is three deer with 
horns. 
‘It is well for each sportsman to bear in mind that 
each hunting license has three coupons attached. When 
a deer is killed, one of these must be detached, signed, 
dated and tied to the carcass of the deer. One of these 
coupons must always accompany the carcass. It is un-

person to have in his possession more than forty pounds 
of dried venison.

season is on in full blast and the sale of licenses has 
materially increased. It is not anticipated by the game

licenses that will be sold during the balance of the year 
will be sufficient to bring the average up to that of
