WELCOME TO HUNT

Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife

What are Cooperative Access Programs (CAP)? They are an incentive-based program designed to provide quality public hunting opportunities on private lands in Gilliam and Morrow counties in the Columbia Basin.

How are CAP's funded?Funding for CAP's comes from the sales of upland game bird stamps, license dollars, and federal funds. Landowners who want to participate are compensated on a per acre basis to allow hunters access to their property for hunting.

What benefits does CAP' s provide hunters?Hunters gain access to diverse hunting experiences for big game, waterfowl, upland birds, and predators

What benefits does CAP's provide landowners?Landowners receive payment for allowing access on their lands. ODFW provides landowners with all signs, permission slip booklets, patrolling and enforcement of the program rules. Landowners are relieved of liability issues related to CAP's.

How does CAP's benefit wildlife? Many species of wildlife depend heavily on habitat and food from private farms, ranches and timber lands. The funds that landowners receive for participating in CAP's help maintain the needed habitats. Participating landowners deserve recognition and thanks for their valuable role in producing much of the state’s wildlife.

How do hunters locate CAP properties?Hunters must take the initiative to locate CAP properties. General directions and maps to CAP

All participating lands are clearly marked by one of the following signs. CAP signs are posted all year to allow hunters the opportunity for pre-season scouting.

UPLAND BIRDS

Hunting With Permission: Indicated by yellow signs. After hunters locate a CAP property, they can use the name and phone number located on the sign to contact the landowner and schedule a hunt. This extra effort ensures landowners that only responsible hunters are guests on their land.
