At least they have a department that manages big game.

It sucks for sure but I was glad to see a game department that takes swift action. I guess I will just use my refunded money to pay for my Oregon elk tag (part of the tag anyway).

Post by: Farmer72 on June 14, 2023, 10:47:32 AM: The takeaway I have from this event is to wait till the last week to put in my tags. I got mine in early this year and lost the $30 for the application fee for my doe tags. I am fine with them cutting all doe tags in my area and they will refund the tag price but not the application fee.

A game department that actually manages and knows what's going on?! What a crazy thought!
