History of outdoors and exploration in Oregon
Oregon's rich tapestry of wilderness was first unveiled by the Lewis and Clark expedition in the early 1800s, which sparked an influx of pioneers who traversed the challenging Oregon Trail. This trail, now a historic symbol of American exploration, provided early settlers with their first taste of Oregon's vast forests, rugged mountains, and fertile valleys. In the late 19th century, Oregon's natural beauty became a major draw for tourists as well. The establishment of Crater Lake National Park in 1902 marked a significant milestone in the state's outdoor recreation history. As America’s fifth oldest national park, it set a precedent for conservation efforts and ignited public interest in outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and fishing. The mid-20th century saw a surge in popularity for hunting and fishing in Oregon. With its abundant wildlife including deer, elk, and various species of trout and salmon, the state quickly became a premier destination for sportsmen. Today, Oregon continues to be a haven for outdoor enthusiasts with its network of state parks, hiking trails like the Pacific Crest Trail, world-class fishing rivers like the Deschutes and Rogue River. Whether you're drawn to its historical significance or its outdoor recreational offerings today - from hunting big game to fly fishing - Oregon's rich history is sure to captivate any adventurer seeking their next great exploration. Oregon is a large agricultural state with $5.5B of ag production, and roughly 39.6% of the land privately owned by farmers and ranchers. The major crops are cow/calf production, wheat and hay. When planning hunting trips to Oregon on private lands like farms & ranches, it's important to understand some key dates for farmers and ranchers. Ranchers in this region usually do their calving, brandings and vaccinations anywhere from February through June and will ship cattle in late fall. During these times, they are extremely busy and may be harder to communicate with. Farmers in Oregon will usually begin planting their crops in late April through June and then will harvest their crops in September, depending on weather.
