Sage-grouse hunters in Oregon are reminded they need to apply for a permit by August 12 to hunt for the fall season. The bird population is increasing, and permits available for the 2022 season have been modified for four units compared to last year. The East Whitehorse, Trout Creek Mountains, and Steens WMUs will have modest increases of 5 to 10 permits. Apply online at odfw.huntfishoregon.com. An annual hunting license is also required.
