Oregon Hunters Association - Bend Chapter

Oregon Hunters Association is a non-profit membership organization made up of volunteers who are dedicated to Wildlife, Habitat & Hunters Rights in Oregon.

OHA is one of the largest conservation groups in the state of Oregon. Our Bend Chapter does habitat projects right here in Central Oregon, such as our annual aspen and guzzler projects, and we fund wildlife projects all over Oregon. We host popular youth events, including our own Annual Youth Upland Bird Hunt in November.

Many different NGO's are headed to the Ochoco's this week to work on habitat projects which include rebuilding a guzzler, tearing out old guzzlers that burnt in the last fire and building new fences around Aspen stands. We also take time to enjoy each other's company with a great BBQ steak potluck, Sunday breakfast and a Friday night appetizer hour. In the picture are many types of cheese which Dave Fields is graciously preparing for our event. If you don't know Dave well you are just missing out on being around a positive and happy guy.

Bend OHA volunteers patrolled and repaired the wildlife fence between Lava Butte and Vandevert Rd. Five trees were cleared from the fence line, and repairs were completed. We also found damage to the highway shoulder where it’s starting to wash out. Last year, we spotted similar damage and reported it to ODOT, who quickly responded by dumping rock into the hole. This time, a new washout near the original was found, along with a few other damaged spots along the highway. These issues were reported to ODOT, as they aren’t visible from the road.

Please consider joining us for a great weekend in the Ochoco's for the purpose of habitat work, good conversations and a great potluck with bbq steak and a Sunday morning breakfast to follow.

Seven Bend Chapter members were back out yesterday, patrolling and repairing the wildlife fence from Lava Butte to Vandevert Road, covering roughly 15 miles. On the east side of the highway south of Vandevert, several T-posts were partially bent, but we straightened them with our equipment. We also cleared a fallen tree from the fence. Bend Chapter member Brady Fuller, a civil engineer with Jacobs, joined us and lent a hand. His company has designed wildlife fences in other states, so he was eager to learn more about this one. The Bend Chapter has stayed committed to this project since 2017.

A huge shout out to all our participants that came to the banquet to support our cause and for all the volunteers that we had which made the event run smooth. Mt. View High School Trap Team members, Oregon Youth Challenge, FFA and all our Chapter members that put this event on were instrumental in making it happen. Dr. Todd Adkins, our new Executive Director was there to introduce himself and encourage members to seek out new members and consider gifting a membership. Growing our membership and making our voices heard is extremely important in fighting things like IP28 and protecting our hunting rights. It was a good night. Thank you.

Tomorrow evening is banquet night. We are set up and nearly ready for you. Doors open at 4pm. I'd recommend getting there pretty early as we have a full house and some of the raffles are going to sell out a little early this year. Lots of stuff thanks to some great donors. Nearly $200,000 in inventory this year, a new record for us. Good luck to everyone who will be there. Thanks for supporting the Oregon Hunters Association. Fighting to keep hunting a priority in Oregon.
