EASTERN OREGON – (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 “even if you didn’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.”
In terms of reporting, ODFW lists the following recommendations and criteria on their webpage:
Ways to report:
- Go online it’s the fastest and easiest way to report. You will need to verify / look up your account on the MyODFW.com licensing page. (Click on the Buy a License button.) to report your hunts. Once you have completed steps to verify your account, choose “Submit a Hunting and Fishing Outcome Report” or “Outcome Reporting / Mandatory Reporting” to complete your report. Be sure to go to the online licensing system, you can’t report through the MyODFW app.
- Go to an ODFW license agent. They now can take your hunt report.
- Visit an ODFW office.
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.
- The two-digit Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) number of the Unit you hunted in most of the time if the hunt area included more than 1 WMU. See the Big Game Hunting Areas page or the Oregon Big Game Regulations.
- The total number of days hunted—including mentoring youth—and the number of days hunted in the WMU hunted most.
A worksheet is available for use in report preparation.
