Hunt by Reservation landowners are diverse. They range from small rural farms to large land trusts. Some need help reducing wildlife damage; others simply want to provide hunting access but don't have the time or tools to manage hunters.
We work closely with each landowner to create custom public hunting access opportunities that align with the landowner's schedule, lifestyle and wildlife management goals. Hunt by Reservation is a great fit for landowners who want to provide hunting access, but need some technical help coordinating dates, hunt rules, maps and logistics.
All landowners participating in HBR value the same three things
Access – Each landowner wants to provide hunting access and understands the value of hunting as both a wildlife management tool and an American tradition.
Management – Our landowners want precise control of when, where and how hunters can access their property. Working with us, landowners rely on our expertise and planning tools to customize hunt schedules, maps, rules, permits and hunters notices.
Stewardship -- Each landowner in our program is a good land steward. Depending on the landowner, stewardship could mean managing wildlife populations in their area, completing a habitat improvement project, or working with ODFW to host a small volunteer workday to clear brush and pick up trash.
See our landowner lineup on the ODFW Hunt by Reservation website. This list changes somewhat from fall to spring as hunting seasons fluctuate.
