Announcements, resources

*** Hunting updates take the summer off ***

The Big Game Hunting section of the Recreation Report will be on hiatus for the summer. Look for the next update in mid-August -- just in time time for the archery season opener.‌

Please report elk with hoof disease‌

If you see elk showing signs of elk hoof disease, including lame or limping elk or elk with damaged, injured, missing or deformed hooves, please report it using this online form.‌‌

Coyote and wolf ID ‌

Coyote hunters need to take extra care to identify their target as wolves can look like coyotes, especially wolf pups in the mid-summer and fall. Test your ID skills.‌

Please report any wolf sightings or wolf sign to ODFW using the online reporting system.‌

District updates

Updates will resume in mid-August.
