Your big game pursuits may take you after blacktail deer in the densely wooded areas of the Cascade Mountain Range, or in search of mule deer in the high desert sagebrush with juniper and pine trees all around. Not big enough….Rocky Mountain Elk are also found in good numbers in Klamath County.

Controlled hunt tags are limited, so apply early. There are no limits for general season tags.

Southern Oregon has more black bears than any other of the lower 48 states. Steep terrain, dense cover and overly abundant food sources provide excellent Black Bear habitat! Take note though - hunting bears with dogs is prohibited. The Keno Unit, western portion of Sprague Unit, and Gearhart Mountain are good places to hunt.

Other popular species include cougar, turkey, coyotes, bobcats and antelope. For turkey hunting, the Keno Unit is open to public access and in addition, some BLM land is available for hunting. Check south of Hwy 66 and west of the Klamath River Canyon to Copco Road.
