Hunt, Fish, Explore Oregon

What's New in 2026

2026 Big Game Hunting and Sport Fishing regulations are here
There are changes for Eastern Oregon deer hunters in 2026. Hunters can find their new hunt name and area using the interactive map and other resources on MyODFW.com. Recreational fees will increase for the first time since 2020 to address rising costs associated with inflation. A new Ocean Endorsement will be required for ocean fishing (except when taking only salmon, steelhead, or shellfish) to help fund important surveys for popular species like black rockfish.
