Ownership Tag

The ownership tag will be affixed by ODFW personnel at district and regional offices and shall remain so affixed while the pelt is in raw form.

• May be used as a foreign export tag.
• Authorizes the holder to sell one bobcat or river otter.
• It shall be illegal to possess a harvested bobcat or river otter after five (5) business days following the season closure without an ownership tag.
• It shall be illegal to sell or remove from the state a harvested bobcat or river otter pelt without the respective year’s ownership tag.

To qualify for ownership tag:

• The lower jawbone, including both canine teeth, must be surrendered to the ODFW and information on sex, date of catch, and county of harvest must be attached to each individual Oregon bobcat and river otter jaw to qualify for ownership tags.
• A record card with required species, sex, date of possession, and county must be presented to obtain ownership tag.

Each person must have an ownership tag affixed to their bobcat or river otter pelt by ODFW within five (5) business days after the season ends. Tagging is by appointment only.
