Other Federal Hunting Land in Oregon

Federal records outside the main agencies

The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area is Forest Service land administered apart from Mt. Hood National Forest. National forest rules apply on it, but the Sandy River Delta tract is closed to all hunting except shotgun waterfowl hunting north and east of the BPA powerline. Oregon Caves is one of the few Park Service units with hunting: the preserve lands are open under Oregon seasons and bag limits, while the original 480-acre monument is closed, and trapping is not allowed anywhere in the unit. Reclamation and the Corps of Engineers hold land around dams, reservoirs and canals. 43 CFR 423.32 allows hunting on Reclamation land not closed to public use or set aside as a special use area; 36 CFR 327.13 allows loaded firearms on Corps projects only for hunting at authorized areas and times. Partners run much of this land, including the Prineville Reservoir and Fern Ridge wildlife areas, so the partner's rules apply on the ground.
