EASTERN OREGON โ€“ (Information from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife) In its recent recreation report, ODFW reminds anyone that purchased a tag for 2022 to report by January 31. ODFW noted that reports are required โ€œeven if you didnโ€™t hunt or were unsuccessful. Information from hunters who did not hunt or did not harvest an animal is as important as from those who did take an animal.โ€

In terms of reporting, ODFW lists the following recommendations and criteria on their webpage:

Information you need to report:

  • Hunter/Angler ID number (located on ODFW licenses, tags and applications). If you do not have your tag or license anymore, call 503-947-6101 for your Hunter/Angler ID#. This number stays the same year after year so you can also use an old license or tag.
