The State of Oregon offer both a Spring Black Bear and a Fall Black Bear hunting season. Oregon
offers a controlled 700 series spring black bear hunt that you must apply for. To apply for a
Spring Black Bear Tag you must go online at the ODFW Website and apply. The deadline to do
this is February 10 th and the results are typically posted around February 20th .

Eden Ridge Outfitters, LLC offers both Spring Black Bear and Fall Black Bear hunts. In Oregon the
use of hounds’ and baiting for black bear is prohibited. The method for locating a black bear is
by the spot and stalk method. You just need to know the food source and where they frequent
to give yourself the best opportunity.

Oregon only charges $16.50 for a bear tag. This should be telling you something. In Oregon you
are allowed to take one spring black bear and, in the fall, you can purchase a general fall black
bear tag over the counter and you may also purchase an additional fall black bear tag.
Therefore, you can harvest two black bears in the fall.

Eden Ridge Outfitters, LLC offers a Rifle Columbian Blacktail Deer/Black Bear Combo hunt. We
only book a few of these hunts to make sure to give us a call. We also have a free application
service if you need assistance.

​

Just a friendly reminder that ODFW has a mandatory check in on all harvested black bears. You
have up to 10 days after harvest to complete this task.
