Oregon 2020-21 Game Bird Regulations Changes - Turkey Hunters to Take Note

The Oregon 2020-21 Game Bird Regulations are now available in stores and online at http://www.eregulations.com/oregon/game-bird/.

Fall turkey hunters need to be aware of some changes for this season. There are now two tags available for the fall season: general eastern Oregon and general western Oregon. Quotas on the numbers of tags that can be sold have been lifted, though hunters are still limited to two fall turkey tags of which only one may be an eastern Oregon tag.

Fall turkey season now runs through the end of January, though eastern Oregon hunters are limited to harvesting birds on private land only beginning Dec. 1. The White River Wildlife Management Unit is now closed to fall turkey hunting, to allow population numbers to recover and provide more opportunity during the popular spring season. (White River WMU is the most popular destination to spring turkey hunt in Oregon.) See the regulations for more details.
