Thank you for visiting the Conservation Area Hunting Permits Portal. The 2020 hunting draw application window is now closed for the season.
As you may know, Tribal Council has closed the Conservation Areas to all public access because of COVID-19. We did NOT re-open in time for the 2020 hunting season. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
We had 130 applications for hunting permits in 2020, with this being the first year of our website. We thank you for your patience with this system as we worked through some bugs. Next year we plan to have much more information about the hunts, ODFW links, statistics, our new camping reservation system, and other information available.

There are permits still available at Oxbow, Dunstan, and both Forrest Parcels (Northside and Desolation units). Archery permits at Oxbow, Dunstan, and Mainstem Forrest Conservation Area (FCA) are now filled, as are Dunstan Bull Elk Rifle 247X and Mainstem Forrest Antlerless Elk Rifle 247.
