It will be a great hunt if and when you draw the tag. They only give out 1 nonresident tag every other year. If you don't have 15 points this year don't bother putting in for it. Next year the one tag goes to an OR outfitter and then the following year it will more than likely tag 17 points. If you do draw it expect a world class hunt with a lot of time to get it done. You have the rut and a migration combined. Good luck!

How many points do you have?

I have 15 points now! the other tag i was thinking on was white river rut hunt with riffle which i know very well but not sure if i want a blacktail benchleg for 15 points

Yup been putting in for this for 7 years now. Starting to think its not worth it. I will be 60 by the time i get drawn if im lucky.  Not to high jack a thread. But wich tag would be the next best one to apply for.  I hate the fact you have to buy a lisence just to apply...GAY!!!!!!

Not sure what you mean by "which tag" to apply for. Do you mean which species? Or another deer hunt? Have you been applying for Metolius?

There are a lot of good opportunity hunts in Oregon if you do the research, for instance somebody mentioned WhiteRiver, there are I believe 3 different draw hunts for the area, the late one being the hard one to acquire, but there is an easier draw in the same area earlier in the year to hunt the same deer, may have to work a little harder, may be a little higher up in elevation, but same opportunity at a decent buck.  I see nobody mentioned PineCreek, your problem is you have to many points now to put in for a hunt you could have drawn years ago, it would be a waste of points, may as well hold out for the hard to draw hunts now.

Spin05 with the points you have I would do the applegate muzzle tag for sure you have to many points to draw an easy tag but not enough for a super tag applegate is an awesome tag!

Another option to consider, is that with 7 points, you could split them with one other person and still be able to draw the majority mule deer hunts in Oregon. No, it may not be a "premium" hunt but most likely still a lot better than anything here in Washington.

I agree with bobcat100%
