Transporting small game over state lines?

I'm going to Oregon for the weekend, and figured I might as well bring a shotgun in case I see some snowshoe hares. But then I got to thinking that I should head east and try for some jackrabbits too. I've never hunted them and I've always been curious. It's legal to hunt black-tailed jackrabbits in Oregon, but you can't hunt them in Washington, as they are a species of greatest conservation need. That brings me to my question: what is the legality of hunting jacks in OR and then transporting meat back to WA? Interstate transport of migratory game birds and Cervids is very clear, but I couldn't find anything on small game besides birds. If it was any other type of small game I wouldn't think twice about it, but since jacks aren't legal to hunt up here I'm curious if anyone knows the correct, legal way to do this (if there is one). I imagine it doesn't come up often (ever) because who else is goofy enough to go hunt jacks in another state?
 
have at it. just have some evidence that helps verify location of harvest, pictures and pins and what not.
 
Does Oregon require some type of license to hunt jackrabbits? If so, I would think your license would be enough documentation to justify the legal possession. I agree photos and pins would also be helpful.
Just a general hunting license. Sounds fair to me, I usually put an absurd amount of pins down when I go anywhere so I don't think there will be any doubt where I have been
