Northwest big game hunting

Please report any wolf sightings or wolf sign to ODFW using the online reporting system. Cougar: The most productive way to hunt cougar on the north coast is to use a predator call. They are normally very cautious when approaching, so keep an eye out and bring a buddy to help. Hunters can use the recent snow in the coast range to look for fresh tracks along forest roads, possibly putting themselves close to an animal for calling rather than randomly setting up call stations and increasing their effectiveness.

Hunters are reminded if they harvest a cougar, they must have it checked in to an ODFW office within 10 days of harvest. See the Oregon Big Game Regulations for details. Fall Black Bear, mid-coast : Black bear season on the coast has ended and some preliminary harvest data is in.
