What do you mean by "a link to private land hunts" ?

Perhaps you are referring to the Units/Drawings that note the extreme predominance of private land in that area, and including a warning that you are well advised to have permission to hunt on that land before you apply for the drawing?

This might explain applicant numbers to be less than the permit allowances.

My understanding of the private land hunts is the land in owned by a timber company so you pay to play there and then you get a tag for that game management unit but these two things are not the same.

The "link" you are looking for is the private landowner. Get permission to hunt from one of them and you have a 100% chance at a tag every year. This usually involves a fee. They have the warning because it is easy to draw the tag but hard to find a place to hunt. Public land is usually limited and has lots of pressure.

What your calling "private land hunts" are really only put there for those landowners for damage control. They leave them open to the public to draw to be fair, but in reality your expected to have landowner permission -before- you apply.
There is no link, you have to know a landowner personally.

quote from Oregon big game hunting regulations
"private lands will limit access for highlighted hunts. do not apply unless you have access to a place to hunt."
so what does that mean?

It means, quite literally, get to know the landowner/manager and either get or buy permission to hunt the land.

I am not asking about timber company access, I understand the process there. pay for annual access to timber co. land.

Same holds true for Farmer Bob's land or Rancher Ron's land. You have to get permission.

recently a post on this site was asking about sage rat hunting on private land.
a landowner replied, "come on down to my place and hunt" including contact information.

That's what i'm talking about.

I'm confused why this is so hard to grasp. If you want to hunt private land you have to get permission from the landowner. Call them. Meet with them face to face. Do whatever you need to so they'll allow you to hunt. I'll caution you, however, that once one of 'em tells you 'no', and a lot of 'em will, do not press the issue and try to argue with them. That will get them making calls to their neighbors and you're chances of success will plummet.

one year when I lived in Idaho and drew a cow tag.
the Idaho fish and game department sent me a letter giving contact information for 2 ranchers who wanted hunters to hunt on their land.
too bad Oregon cant do the same.
that was 30 years ago though.

Are you looking for a list a private landowners so you can get access? If so there is no such thing. Got to go knock on doors and do your own legwork.

Oregon will do the same if you apply for a damage control tag.
I dont know if they still do it but I filled one like 30 years ago, they put us in contact with a landowner who asked ODFW to reduce the elk there. It was a one and done kinda hunt, your on call as well and are expected to drop everything and go or it goes to the next in line.


For general hunting, what your looking for isnt there. Theres no list. The instructions are clear, find a landowner that gives you permission to hunt before you apply for that tag. Its up to you to find a land owner that will let you hunt their property.

I am not confused, just inquiring about any ranchers/farmers who want hunters to kill the game on their land.
no I am not talking about outfitters!
read my previous post.
if I was a landowner who had elk eating all my hay I would someway ,somehow want to let people know, hey come kill some of these elk.

Yeah, this doesn't necessarily mean there isn't any public land. Melrose for instance, has some BLM if you know where to find it. It just means there probably isn't a lot of public land. Also, there may be land that is open because it is a Travel Management Area. An example of this is Sled Springs. There is a lot of timber company land that is open without having to ask permission. They may close it due to fire danger though. I have had that happen in early bow season. I think the ODFW is trying to be helpful by warning people that most of the hunting available in the unit is on private property, so unless you know of some public land you can access or have permission to hunt private property, or there is public access to private property through a TMA, you might want to try someplace else.

Private ranchers/farmers have no shortage of personal friends and family and friends of friends and family to publicly ask for help. There is no list. If you want to find permission you have to start reaching out to landowners in the unit your interested in and introduce yourself and ask permission. One at a time.

right. just ask a simple question and you get multiple answers.
different interpretations of what you actually meant.
all assuming, you were clueless
well we all know what assuming gets you.

Perhaps learning to be more clear about what you are asking will help. If you go to a landowner in the same way you approached this thread you may wind up getting permission to service the sheep, but not to hunt.
