The highest bird densities are in the western/southwestern corner around Roseburg (16-plus per square mile) south to Medford (six to 15 per square mile).
Strong populations also exist farther north and around The Dalles (six to 15 per square mile).
Recently the top-producing regions were Melrose, White River, Rogue, Evans Creek, and McKenzie, which made up over one-third of the total statewide kill.
The northeast corner of Oregon is a popular destination among turkey hunters. It’s also a prime location to hunt spring gobblers in several states.

####
For the Oregon 2022 spring turkey season, hunts are statewide, from mid April to late May, with a seasonal bag limit of three birds ("one male turkey or a turkey with a visible beard"), tags and regions providing.
As with many Western destinations, public hunting opportunities abound.
For the nonresident, licensing seems reasonable and but turkey tags, a shade high. If you live several states or farther away, getting there can also set you back some.
As a side note, there's all that great Pacific Northwest fishing to be had.
