It’s hunting season in Oregon, and it is still fire season as well. Hunters may be traveling in areas with moderate to high fire dangers or fire closures from recent or ongoing wildfires. Before you go hunting this season, be sure to check out our Alerts webpage for current closure information. Keep in mind, closures can change depending on fire activity. Please hunt safely and be sure of your target. Remember, you are sharing the woods with other people working and recreating close by!
