Important Notes on Statistics 1. Missing Hunts | Oregon has multiple hunts within sub-units and combined unit areas, but the mapping data is not provided by the State for many of these. As a result, you will need to consult the Oregon Hunting Regulations for specific area boundaries of many hunts, including some featured here.
2. Some Tags Alternate Between Outfitters and Nonresidents | | While frustrating, you may not have a tag available for your desired hunt as a nonresident. Ron Wold is a well-known Oregonian tag draw specialist with an incredibly detailed site. This site lets you know whether a tag is likely available or not as well as giving predictive odds at different point levels.
3. Excellent Harvest Data | Oregon has one of the highest response harvest rates in the West because of their mandatory reporting requirement. Their harvest data is very accurate.
