Tribes approve 2021-2022 hunting seasons
Tribal Council has approved the
off-reservation hunting regulations,
as recommended by the Branch of
Natural Resources-Wildlife. Please
login to tribal website:
hunting.warmsprings-nsn.gov
Or order by email:
wildlife.tags@ctwsbnr.org
Or phone 541-553-2001. For
permits requested by phone, come
by Natural Resources office to
pick up your permits and regula-
tions.
Please take advantage of off-
reservation hunting tags. These
opportunities take hunting pressure
off the reservation due to fire clo-
sures, which help improve wildlife
populations.
Please make sure off reserva-
tion hunting takes place on public
(unclaimed) lands. It is the hunter’s
responsibility to know where you
are hunting, where you are allowed
to hunt, what weapons are allowed
to use, and what the bag limit is.
For questions regarding hunt-
ing please contact the Natural Re-
sources Department at 541-553-
2001.
Off reservation hunting is des-
ignated for off-reservation (un-
claimed) public lands. Illegally har-
vesting wildlife on the reservation
using off-reservation tags, or har-
vesting the wrong sex, can have
great long-term negative impacts to
the tribes’ wildlife populations.
Overharvesting wildlife and ille-
gally harvesting females reduces
wildlife population numbers for
multiple generations. Please help
protect the tribes’ wildlife resources
by reporting poaching violations to
541-553-2033 or 541-553-1171.
There is mandatory reporting of
all hunter harvest. Failure to report
harvest results for off-reservation
and reservation hunts will result in
a loss of hunting privileges for sub-
sequent tags. Please be honst with
your hunter reporting. If you are
issued a tag, you have the right to
hunt and harvest an animal. Har-
vest and hunting information is
important for the wildlife depart-
ment in determining wildlife popu-
lation sizes, herd compositions and
hunting pressure.
In addition, this information
helps us determine where there are
and are not animals, which helps
focus our habitat restoration efforts
on the reservation. Your continued
support and participation with
hunter reporting is greatly appreci-
ated.
Thank you for your participation!

Resources.
