Chronic Wasting Disease

CWD check station sign alerting hunters to an upcoming inspection site.

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) has not yet been found in Oregon, but it has been found in three bordering states – Idaho, California, and Washington. The Department has a chance to manage CWD if both hunters and wildlife managers work together. House Bill 3152, passed in 2021, requires vehicles transporting wildlife or wildlife parts to stop for inspection if they encounter a Department-operated wildlife inspection station. Refer to Hunting Regulations for details. The Department will be operating wildlife inspection stations for CWD testing collection during some fall hunting seasons. Cooperation by successful deer and elk hunters in Oregon is needed. Hunters will be able to view test results within 4-6 weeks on ODFW’s website. For more information on CWD, how to get your animal tested, and how to view results, please visit the MyODFW CWD page.

Elk Hoof Disease

ODFW is asking hunters to report limping elk or animals with abnormal hooves. Report sightings through ODFW’s online Elk Hoof Disease Reporting page at the Elk Hoof Disease Program or call or email ODFW’s Wildlife Health Lab ((866) 968-2600. Hoof Disease can be caused by a bacterial infection causing severe lameness in elk resulting in deformed, overgrown, infected, or sloughed hooves. Hunters finding hoof abnormalities in their harvested animals are asked to take pictures and save all hooves of elk with hoof deformities. Lame elk may be in poorer body condition and appear thin. However, hoof disease does not affect the meat of elk harvested by hunters and poses no risk to human health.

General Season Antlerless Elk Damage

Due to chronic elk damage and increasing private land elk populations, ODFW has implemented a General Season Antlerless Elk Damage Tag. This over-the-counter tag is valid within any of the areas and time periods detailed below. Similar to other general seasons and controlled elk hunts, these tags are a hunter’s only elk hunting opportunity for the year, however, there is no tag sale deadline for these tags.

These hunts are a tool for hunters and landowners to directly work together to reduce elk damage. The hunt areas are nearly 100% private land and largely agricultural lands. Elk numbers are highly variable within the hunt area as many of the areas are designated as elk de-emphasis areas. Do not purchase this tag unless you already have access to a place to hunt. ODFW staff will not be able to assist you with finding a place to hunt.

There are no hunting seasons on NP lands or Tribal lands in these areas.
