Report hunt results by Jan. 31*

2015 incentive tag winner

Report online at www.reportmyhunt.com or call 1-866-947-ODFW (6339) to report by phone. Do it for every deer, elk, pronghorn, cougar, bear and turkey tag you purchased—even if you didn’t hunt or weren’t successful. You need your hunter/angler ID# which is printed on all licenses and documents and stays the same year-to-year.

Hunters who don’t report their 2015 deer and elk tags on time will need to pay a $25 penalty to purchase a 2017 hunting license.

Every hunter who reports on time is entered to win one of three special tags we give away every year. Winners can hunt anywhere in Oregon for an extended season.

Highs and lows of winter steelhead

This is the time of year when each rain shower can bring fresh winter steelhead into the rivers, but too much rain can make these rivers unfishable.

Keep an eye on water levels and try to hit the river when water levels stabilize and begin to drop.

Also, stay current with the weekly Recreation Report to see where and when the steelhead have arrived.
