oregon elk hunt?
 

Can anyone tell me how Oregon does their elk tags? Do you have to put in for a draw or can you just buy them over the internet or in a store? I am from Indiana and would like to know before I try to go out their. Thank You.

Depends on the area They have over the counter and draw. Find out what you want and call game dept. Sorry don'thave more info GL

Like blacklab said it depends on the area. the best way is to get a game book in the spring and fill out the App. I am planing a trip back to Oregon in 07 after being away for two years. shoot me an E-Mail and I will send you an 06 game book.

simcoe18,

I highly recommend for you not to start applying in Oregon. It will cost you $70+ per year just to get in the game, and they only give out 2 1/2% of the tags to nonresidents. There are many other better places to apply for good elk tags. E-mail me if you want more detailed info.

I have been applying all over, including Oregon, for 10 years. The only reason I keep going in Oregon is because my hunting partner lives in Portland and we can do a combo fishing/visit if I draw anything. Plus I am applying to areas he knows well, and can help me. Otherwise I'd have dropped out years ago.
