SALEM, Ore.— ODFW will host a series of online public meetings in July where district wildlife biologists will present proposed changes to the 2027 big game regulations and gather public feedback.

Modifications to the Elk General Western Oregon Coast seasons are being considered; otherwise, no major regulatory changes are proposed this year. More information, including proposed 2026 tag numbers, is available in the linked materials below.
