Oregon requires all hunters under the age of 18 to complete a hunter safety education course before hunting in the state. Upon completing the course (and a Field Day for youth), participants will receive a Hunter Safety certification number and card. Adults are also encouraged to take the online course, as it may be required for out of state hunts. Note: Youth under the age of 9 may struggle with the course material and may not have the physical strength needed to safely handle a firearm during a Field Day, particularly during muzzle control, loading, and unloading drills.

Sport fishing offers youth and adults alike a healthy and fun recreational activity that can be shared for a lifetime with friends and family. Workshops are offered statewide throughout the year. View and register for an upcoming event: Classes and W or kshops.
