Well I've hunted Oregon every year since 2007. Hunting was good, so I never put in for special permits. 14 years later, it is too late to start now if you look at the good elk permit hunts for non-res hunters odds are pretty much zero. I thought WA was bad for resident hunters, Oregon is worse for non-res. I am double screwed
If you have zero points, then yeah the "big 3" elk units are essentially out of reach in your lifetime as a non-resident. Each of those hunts has only between 0 and 2 non-resident tags available per year. And thousands of non-residents holding between 1 and 25 points.
But the other units are still within reach, and there are good OTC units still.

Yes, I will stick with my OTC unit and am happy with that.

With so many bear permits given out, I wonder, is the spring bear hunting as good a hunt as our wa spring hunt?At a bare minimum it's as good.

I would say it's better. If you are in shape and good at glassing, you can spot 5 to 10 bears a day in the Blues, sometimes more (not counting cubs). If I could this year, I would go down there but too much going on this spring.

What would the total cost for a out of state hunter be to put in for spring bear Oregon?
$172 for the non-resident annual hunting license. $8 for the application fee for the controlled spring bear tag. If you draw the tag the tag cost is $16.50. Oregon sells the predator tags at the same cost to both residents and non-residents.
Since you paid for the license with the application, might as well hunt something else. A fall bear tag is $16.50, and an additional bear tag is $16.50 beyond that. A cougar tag is $16.50. A non-resident game bird validation is $44.50 and covers most bird hunting except turkey, which is a separate tag. The larger expense for Oregon is in the non-resident deer/elk/etc. game tags.

Well that is pretty attractive. And with all the nonsense going on with Washington seasons I’m having a hard time supporting there spring hunt.
