Waterfowl Located in the midst of the Pacific Flyway, Klamath County is a bird hunter’s paradise where it’s common for millions of ducks, geese and swans to migrate through every year. Our many wetlands, grasslands, and refuges provide ample habitat for these birds.
Hunting season typically runs from early October through late January for ducks and geese. Big Game 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. Rocky Mountain Elk are also found in good numbers in Klamath County.
Winter Sports
Find some of the best snowmobiling at Brown Mountain, Pelican Butte, Pinnacles to Liars Niche or any of the area’s snowmobilefriendly snow parks. For a full list visit www. discoverklamath.com.
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.
