Oregon Draw Results

Sledd Springs Elk!

Nice. What weapon?

I will be hunting with my buddy for elk it looks like. I pulled an easy to draw archery tag. Used to be over the counter but changed last year.

I have been curious how many people would apply for the units that were OTC until last year and what kind of odds they would have.

My buddy has been hunting the area for a long time and has said I should come down and hunt with him for years but I finally decided to do it this year. I at least have the advantage of hunting the area with some with intimate knowledge of the area. He is still a few years away from his Walla Walla tag.

The odds are going to get worst as the years go on I think. Last year there was one NR that did not get selected. This year there was about 30 NR that didn't get selected.

Congrats to all who get to hunt Oregon!
The wife finally drew the Umatilla #3 refuge buck tag. Took 27 points to get it, should be a lot of fun sneaking around looking for a hog buck!

Me to, I've been putting in for tag also but I'm back at 22 points I think.

Metolius muzzleloader deer tag!  16yrs to draw it

We drew our east side archery elk tags. Good thing because I just got back from 2 1/2 day trip from there hanging trail cams and cutting in some trails.

I'm one of the NR who didn't draw the east archery tag that I've had for 13 years. That sucks. However, drew rifle deer in Murderer's Creek, which I expected, given the points I had.

Congrats to Finnman's wife. Looking forward to that hunt--vicariously..

Yeah the new everything on the east side bites. I didn’t draw last year. Feel your pain.

Hoping one of you experts in Oregon can answer a question.
I applied for a tag that I didn't have enough points for hoping to get it in the 25% pool. No Dice. When looking at the Controlled Hunt Draw Execution report that Oregon had posted, it appears that you enter the drawing with the point total you had from last year. So when applying this year, you don't get a point until after the draw. Does that seem right?

I had 5 points last year and now my account is showing 6 points. When scrolling thru the excel sheet, i found my app # and it only said i had 5 points for this year.....

I could do a little digging but figured one of you fellas would have this dialed in. Appreciate any answers!

[kselkhunter]

Correct.  You enter the draw with your existing points, and if you don't draw you get awarded another point if unsuccessful. 

[ShaneTyTrey]

That is correct, I believe all preference point states do it that way, and the bonus point states give you the bonus point prior, similar to Washington.

[Sneaky Squirrel]

Roger that. Thank you fellas!

Looks like I'm 1 point further behind then i thought. Probably more with the point creep but it appears like maybe it leveled off this year due to the changes the last few years.

[Crunchy]

so if you do draw do you go into next year with one point already?  Or start at zero?
