Hunting & Shooting

The forest is a sought after hunting destination for Rocky Mountain Elk and Mule Deer, but other species including Black Bear and Bighorn Sheep are also on the list of big game hunting opportunities. Blue and Ruffed Grouse are among the small game hunting opportunities that attract hunters to the forest. 

In Oregon, licenses and regulations for hunting are managed by the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife. Learn about Oregon hunting regulations and how to get a license.

Please remember: It's your responsibility to know property boundaries and respect nearby private lands while hunting on the national forest.
