Hunt, Fish, Explore Oregon

If your young hunter applied for a big game tag and was unsuccessful, they may be eligible to apply for a Youth “First Time” Hunt tag. Under this program young hunters can apply for tags in the buck deer, antlerless deer and antlerless elk hunt series.

Hiking or camping plans getting in the way of fishing this weekend? Going to be busy kayaking or going to the beach? No need to choose between fishing and other fun – just take a rod with you.

School may be out for the summer, but hunter education may be one class your children will be happy to take during the break. Students (youth and adults) can take a hunter education class online, with a self-directed workbook or in a traditional classroom setting. And don’t forget to sign up early for a required field day – they fill up fast.
