Big Changes to Eastern Oregon Deer Hunts

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 That's because they are now organized by mule deer herd ranges rather than outdated WMUs, to reflect how deer actually move across the landscape.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)
