Attention: Campers, Hikers, Anglers

Please, don’t feed the bears! When camping, hiking, fishing or birdwatching, pick up and pack out all your garbage. Follow these tips to keep wildlife safe and where they belong—in the wild.

Store food in airtight containers in the trunk of your car, in bear boxes or on provided platforms in campgrounds
Hang food bagged food 10-12 feet high and 6-10 feet from tree trunk or side support.
Do not leave food items or pet food outdoors or in tents. Clean all food preparation and eating utensils immediately after using them, and place them in vehicles or other sealed, bear-proof containers.
Dispose of garbage in bear-proof cans or pack it out.
Do not bury garbage ― bears will dig it up.
Before you head to the wild places this summer, visit ODFW’s Living with Black Bears Web site.

Birdwatchers

Whether in the mountains or the desert on the coast, you will not be disappointed in June. Check the Viewing Sections of the Recreation Report and discover what to look for when you are out and about in Oregon this summer.

Summer is here! It is time to go Fishing!

Fishing for warmwater species is in full swing and there are plenty of opportunities statewide to catch largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, sunfish, channel catfish, bullheads, yellow perch, walleye and hybrid bass. These species are usually found in lower elevation ponds, lakes, reservoirs and streams.

Fishing for warmwater fish is a way to introduce the family to a great outdoor event while enjoying Oregon’s beautiful landscape. You don’t need very much equipment to fish for warmwater species and there are plenty of opportunities close to home.

Our Dingoes must be the equivalent of your Bears, its a never ending battle to get tourists to stop feeding them. You would think that after several severe attacks and even some deaths that people would listen and learn. The Queensland Parks & Wildlife Service Rangers are now handing out $275 on the spot fines for feeding Dingoes. Fraser Island has had some bad press in regards to the Dingoes, it all stems from tourists feeding them as Dingoes are not normally aggressive towards humans.
