"Therefore these animals have no closed season, bag limit or weapons restriction. "
I just looked through the 2007 regulations and did a PDF search; that statement doesn't appear in the regulations. It does say, as previously mentioned, that yotes are predatory animals "610.002 "Predatory animals" defined. As used in this chapter, "predatory animal" or "predatory animals" includes feral swine as defined by State Department of Agriculture rule, coyotes, rabbits, rodents and birds that are or may be destructive to agricultural crops, products and activities, but excluding game birds and other birds determined by the State Fish and Wildlife Commission to be in need of protection. [1959 c.240 §2; 1971 c.658 §29; 1977 c.136 §4; subsection (2) of 610.002 renumbered 610.003; 1979 c.399 §2; 2001 c.125 §2]", but it doesn't say you can use high capacity magazines on them.
While the regulations might help as a defense, a quote off a website (even the ODFW website) might not hold up as well in court. Perhaps we ought to stay with 5-round mags and be safe rather than sorry?
