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.

Here is the regs for oregon like every one has been saying it depends on where you want to hunt if you want to hunt eastern oregon rifle it is all drawing if you want to hunt western oregon and go after a Rosevelt it is over the counter for rifle if you archery hunt most of the state is over the counter a few units are draw for archery. and if you archery hunt deer seasion runs the same time so you could have an opp for a deer too

You can hunt eastern oregon second season general spike only in some areas.
