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.

I swear, how dumb is their website! I admit to never applying before but I log in, go to my portfolio and NO where is there a tab “see results” or “check results” ! It’s like a secret decoder ring is needed! No email, no nothing….. I’m sure I didn’t draw but would be nice to confirm.
"Controlled Hunt Wins" under your Recreational Portfolio, that lists which controlled hunts that you applied for that you were awarded a tag......

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.

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!

Congrats to all who get to hunt Oregon!

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.
Post by: Sneaky Squirrel on June 13, 2023, 08:27:10 AM
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!

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.

But i wonder if you draw, that takes your point away for the year.
Post by: Ricochet on June 13, 2023, 10:04:19 AM
By the report, you go in with 0 points. That also aligns with what the others have stated as well.
Correct. You get a point for every year you don't draw, so those points aren't added until after the results are known, when you successfully draw you go back to zero.

However, my luck is not all bad: There were only 3 NR apps drawn after I drew my buck tag. In fact, a group of 4 NR's didn't draw just after me because there were not enough tags--the group of 4 was one too many. 3 other NR's drew after them. Also, in the spring bear hunt, I was the last NR to be selected in the 25% pool.
Getting tougher to draw OR as an NR!

How did that archery guys do so far for oregon this year, any big bulls killed?
A buddy shot a nice 5 pt in the unit I didn't draw.

Wife shot the buck she wanted not the biggest in the herd of 6 bucks, But she is happy and it was a great job putting it all together going from a half mile to 125 yards in the wide open.
Good hunting to all!!
