Hunting and Fire Danger in Oregon - Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW)
Hunters, anglers, wildlife watchers: What to know about wildfires. Wildfire season is hitting Oregon hard. Here's what hunters and anglers should know:
"As early season hunters know, dry conditions and the associated wildfire danger can have a large impact on your hunting opportunity. Check below for resources for finding fire closures and restrictions, and for ODFW's policy on tag refunds and restoration of preference points."
You can check for the latest fire updates and closures using the links on the ODFW webpage. This page will also describe ODFW policies on refunding tags and reinstating preference points. Also check out the ODFW Facebook Page.
CLOSURES and ACCESS:
ODFW does not close hunting seasons due to fire danger. But hunters may face access restrictions as areas close due to active fires, firefighting activity or fire danger. Know before you go – use these links to check for closures beforehand.
