Oregon Spring Bear.....Seed number
ShaneTyTrey:
Do they post a seed number for Oregon Spring Bear. I see the numbers have been given to each applicant.
Thanks
Sliverslinger:
I’d love to understand a bit more about how this works. My buddy insists that with 1 point it’s a 0.00000 % chance in Oregon for most of the good bear and elk units. I thought there was some portion of Oregon tags allotted to random draw (25% rings a bell) so that theoretically there was still some minuscule chance for any tag in the state, even for nonresidents.
ShaneTyTrey:
No, because non-residents get so few of the tags they pretty much get used up in the preference point pool. Their system isn’t like Utah, Wyoming or Arizona where you still have a chance with zero points. At least not on most hunts. That is the way I understand it, those other states have allocated tags for non-residents of a certain amount, Oregon has an up to a certain amount.

I've been looking for seed numbers but haven't found them anywhere yet. I think a direct call to the licensing dept would be a good option.

Totally depends on the unit. Yes your odds are way worse as a non res but some hunts are still reasonable to draw. With 0 points you have a 42% chance to draw Starky for spring bear as a non resident.
