Hunt, Fish, Explore Oregon
Hunters planning to apply for a controlled hunt shouldn't wait until the last minute this year. There are major changes to Eastern Oregon deer hunting, with new hunt boundaries and new names for hunts. That's because they are now organized by mule deer herd ranges rather than outdated WMUs, to reflect how deer actually move across the landscape. The change will improve population monitoring and harvest management.
Get help choosing your hunt on the Eastern Oregon Deer Hunts page by using an Interactive map (find your favorite camping spot or other location and determine your new hunt) and the Hunt transition tool (Look up Your 2025 Hunt Number to see the new hunt)
ODFW has partnered with Jamba to release limited-edition tumblers featuring five Oregon marine animal species in need. This partnership helps ODFW and Jamba raise awareness about the species in need and celebrate the fish and wildlife that contribute to make Oregon a wonderful place to live and recreate. $3 of every tumbler and $1 from every Sea Star Smoothie is donated to conservation efforts. Participate in the coloring contest to win a tumbler and more from Jamba!
Each year, ODFW stocks millions of trout in the state's ponds, lakes and reservoirs for anglers to catch and keep. If you're new to fishing, check out the Start fishing article for tips. And check the Recreation Report for current conditions.
