Thank you for visiting the Conservation Area Hunting Permits Portal. The 2021 hunting draw application window is now closed for the season.
As of this time, Pine Creek is limited to day use only. We will contact permitted hunters if this changes and update the website.
Please note that we have new property boundaries resulting from the land exchange between the Tribes and the BLM. See our update on July 21, 2021.
We had 129 applications for hunting permits in 2021. We thank you for your patience with this system as we worked through some bugs.
We still have many hunts with access permits still available. These will be at a first-come, first-serve basis. These include:
- 6 access permits for Pine Creek Archery deer 144R or 145R
- 2 access permits for Fossil Unit cow Elk 245C
- 5 access permits for Fossil unit Youth cow Elk 245T
- All Oxbow permits are available
- Many hunts on Forrest and Dunstan still available, few others on Pine Creek – see chart!
Email Tim for Pine Creek or Erik for Upper John Day Properties to obtain access permits for these remaining hunts.
