So how many state draws are people waiting on right now? Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Washington.....Any others?
What is everybody hoping for drawing in Oregon this year?I have a realistic shot to draw my Oregon antelope tag. I don't have a real chance on elk and deer permits, but my buddy is in with 21 points on elk and I promised to be his Sherpa....so if he draws that will be one heck of a hunt. Of course, random draw and low odds on the OIL goat and sheep as a non-resident, but you never know. Otherwise, it'll just be OTC deer/elk tags near my cabin in Oregon.

I think there's only two tags that 21 pts wouldn't guarantee a tag. I'm assuming it's a NE tag?

The Oregon Tags prediction for Wenaha #2 is 3 guys would likely put in with 21 pts and 2 in with 22...going after 1 tag. And for Mt Emily #2 it's 1 with 21 and 1 with 20 going after 1 tag. And the single non-resident Walla Walla #2 tag goes to non-residents this year (as the outfitters got it last year), which is predicting two guys with 20 points would have put in for. It really depends on where those guys with 22 and 21 pts actually applied for first choices on (vs. what Oregon Tags were predicting).I'm brainfarting which unit he said he put in for this year. I know he put in for Wenaha last year.
Over the years it seems like Oregon likes to post the results on a Friday afternoon, giving the unsuccessful hunters a weekend to cry in their beer and get over their bitter disappointment before having a chance to call on Monday morning to bitch about the draw. So I'm guessing the results will show up some time today.
