Im kicking around the idea of heading down to the oregon blues for bear next month. In the regs it says you have to present the skull to be marked within 10 days. Im wondering, what kind of mark do they make on the skull, and where on the skull do they put the mark? Is it something that would require me to have the skull cleaned up / defleshed? If i go down there and get a bear id be in a hurry to jam home to keep the meat good. Also, it says you have to check them in at a fish and game office. Is that really how it works, or are they flexible and allow f& game officers to meet up with a hunter in areas where an office isnt nearby? In washington, wardens and bios will meet you to seal a lion or bobcat (no mandatory bear check) wherever its convenient for both parties. In idaho there are lots of civilian check stations scattered about at sporting goods stores etc that you can go to get bears and lions checked in. Just trying to figure out if killing a bear down there would end up being a big hassle to meet the check in requirements, and be time consuming when im trying to hustle home to take care of the meat
