Oregon hunters: Don’t wait, review changes to Deer Hunt Areas in Eastern Oregon and apply early
ODFW release - SALEM, Ore.—With the May 15 deadline approaching, ODFW is reminding hunters to apply early for 2026 controlled deer hunts and to carefully review changes to Eastern Oregon deer hunts. With the transition from Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) to Deer Hunt Areas in eastern Oregon, hunters who wait until the last minute may find themselves overwhelmed by unfamiliar boundaries, new naming systems, and updated tag structures. “This is a big change, and we want hunters to feel confident when they apply,” said Brian Wolfer, ODFW Deputy Administrator, Wildlife Division. “The best thing hunters can do is start reviewing the new hunt areas now rather than waiting until May 15.” To help deer hunters make their hunt choice, ODFW has provided resources at myodfw.com/articles/eastern-oregon-deer-hunts. The webpage includes an interactive map, hunt transition guide where you can enter an old hunt number to find the new hunt area, and an instructional video to support preparation for the upcoming season. More about deer hunt changes - Beginning this fall, all Eastern Oregon deer hunts are organized around 22 newly identified mule deer herd ranges, replacing the WMU system that has been in place since the 1950s. These new hunt areas are designed to better reflect how deer move across the landscape throughout the year, improving population monitoring and harvest management. Extensive research using GPS-collared deer has shown that the WMUs did not accurately reflect deer behavior. For example, many deer spend summer and early fall (when they are harvested) in different WMUs than during winter (when they are counted by ODFW). This change brings a new naming system and new boundaries to the 100 Series Buck Deer and 600 Series Antlerless Deer hunts. Overall, there is a 9% reduction in available deer tags, reflecting current buck ratios and population estimates. Tag numbers could fluctuate over the next few years as hunters and ODFW adapt to these new hunt areas. Hunters will also see updated landowner preference tag formulas and separate hunts for mule deer and white-tailed deer in some areas of northeast Oregon where both species occur. Key Changes Hunters Need to Know - New Hunt Area System: Eastern Oregon deer WMUs are being replaced by Deer Hunt Areas aligned with herd ranges. New Naming Format: Deer Hunt Areas and hunt names will use codes like NE01 or CR101R instead of traditional WMU names and numbers. Larger Hunt Areas: A few new areas are significantly larger, offering more flexibility during wildfire or pressure events. Tag Adjustments: A 9% reduction in Eastern Oregon deer tags for 2026; numbers may fluctuate in coming years. Preference Points: There are no changes to the Preference Points system. Points carry over but draw outcomes may be less predictable during the transition. New LOP Tag Formula: Updated system to align with new mule deer population management objectives may increase LOP tags at the statewide scale but some hunt areas may see a decrease depending on population performance. Access to Manulife properties via A&H program ends May 31 Hunters applying for fall controlled hunts in northeast Oregon should also be aware of access changes to Manulife properties. Manulife will end its Access & Habitat cooperative agreement on May 31 and launch a new permit program (more information). Hunters will need to obtain a separate Manulife access permit to hunt or recreate on Manulife properties this fall. The decision impacts the following WMUs and deer hunt areas, totaling about 270,000 acres in northeast Oregon and a little over 12,400 acres in southwest Oregon: Catherine Creek, Mount Emily, Sled Springs (Manulife properties make up about 33% of this unit), Starkey, Sumpter, Ukiah, Walla Walla and Wenaha wildlife management units; TMAs: Little Catherine Creek, Meachem, Noregaard, Shamrock/Whiskey Creek; Deer Hunt Areas: NB-01, NE-02, NE-03, NE-04, NE-05, NE-06, SW-02; Jackson Cooperative TMA in the Rogue and Dixon wildlife management units.

I-84 Fatal, Umatilla Co.
OSP release - UMATILLA COUNTY, Ore. (23 April 2026) – On Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at 5:07 p.m., Oregon State Police responded to a two-vehicle fatal crash on Interstate 84 near milepost 207 in Umatilla County. The preliminary investigation indicated a white Chevrolet Tahoe, operated by Jeanette Lynn Row (55) of Pendleton, was traveling eastbound on I-84 near Pendleton when it struck the rear of a white Freightliner tractor trailer, operated by Zholdoshev Abdilaziz (33) of Schaumburg (IL), for an unknown reason. Following the collision, the Tahoe turned hard to the right, and the operator lost control on the wet pavement. The Tahoe left the roadway, rolled multiple times, and the driver was ejected from the vehicle. The operator of the Tahoe (Row) was declared deceased at the scene.

OSP and the Junction City Police Department initially responded to a report of a damaged power pole. Responding officers then located a heavily damaged black BMW 135 in a ditch, and the operator, Tyler Raymond Caseri (24) of Harrisburg, was found seriously injured. The operator (Caseri) was transported to a local hospital. OSP was notified by the hospital on April 20, 2026, that Caseri had died from his injuries. The highway was not impacted during the on-scene investigation. Speed and impairment are believed to be contributing factors to the crash. The vehicle was possibly the same vehicle that eluded an Oregon State Trooper less than an hour before the crash at speeds of more than 100 mph in the same area.

NFL Draft
UO release - PITTSBURGH, Pa. – Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman was taken No. 25 overall by the Chicago Bears on Thursday night in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Thieneman becomes the second Duck taken in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, after tight end Kenyon Sadiq was selected No. 16 overall by the New York Jets. It is the first time in program history that Oregon has had multiple first-round picks in back-to-back years, after Derrick Harmon and Josh Conerly Jr. both went in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Oregon's streak of consecutive years with a first-round pick extended to seven, with Sadiq and Thieneman giving Oregon nine total first-round selections during that span. The duo follows Harmon (No. 21, 2025), Conerly (No. 29, 2025), Bo Nix (No, 12, 2024), Christian Gonzalez (No. 17, 2023), Kayvon Thibodeaux (No. 5, 2022), Penei Sewell (No. 7, 2021) and Justin Herbert (No. 6, 2020). Thieneman becomes the 26th first-round pick in program history, and he is Oregon's 14th first-round selection since 2013 and 17th since 2000. Thieneman is the first Duck to be selected by the Bears in the first round since Kyle Long in 2013. Thieneman solidified his standing as one of the nation's top defensive backs in his lone season at Oregon, earning second-team all-America honors from the Sporting News, the Associated Press and the Walter Camp Football Foundation. He was also a first-team all-Big Ten selection. A native of Westfield, Ind., Thieneman ranked second among Ducks with 96 total tackles while adding 3.5 tackles for loss, a sack, two interceptions and five pass breakups. He had multiple tackles in all 15 games with three double-digit tackle performances, all coming in three of the final four games. Thieneman provided one of the Ducks' signature moments on their way to reaching the College Football Playoff Semifinal, clinching a thrilling win at No. 3 Penn State with an interception in double overtime. Thieneman also excelled in the classroom in his time at Oregon, becoming the 16th academic all-America first-team selection in program history and first since 2023. He became the first Oregon defensive back ever to earn the honor. A two-year standout at Purdue before transferring to Oregon, Thieneman racked up 306 career tackles, eight interceptions, 10.0 tackles for loss and 14 pass breakups across 39 collegiate games. Oregon 2026 NFL Draft Picks: TE Kenyon Sadiq - Round 1, Pick 16 (New York Jets); S Dillon Thieneman - Round 1, Pick 25 (Chicago Bears).
