RESTRICTED AREAS: Approximately 1040 acres of Reservation land have been set aside as a wildlife enhancement
area The entrances to roads 206 and 212 along the Wind River access road are gated year round to restrict
vehicular traffic in the enhancement area. Only Natural Resources' vehicles are permitted beyond these gates for
management purposes. Hunting in the Wildlife Enhancement Area is permitted, but the hunter is required to pack out
on foot. The penalty for any gate access violation is a two year suspension and forfeiture of all current
hunting tags.
DISABLED HUNTERS ARE DEFINED AS IN THE OREGON STATE REGULATIONS: "Disabled hunters are catego
rized 2 ways: 1) A disabled hunter is a person who is permanently unable to be mobile without the assistance of a
wheelchair; 2) A visually impaired hunter is
