2019 odfw hunt draw results

[oregonmuley]

Only drew my 2nd choice deer tag - E. Biggs. Oh well, at least I'll be out hunting something, also waiting for the Wyoming draw today, hoping for better luck there

[orarcher]

Zip for me

[chukardave1]

Second choice cow tag. Nothing else. Heading to MT in November for elk

[hawkeye17]

Seems like a lot of people drew their 2nd choice deer hunts this year which is odd. My daughter and I also drew 2nd choice deer in Ukiah. I know the hunting hasn't been great there lately, but at least we'll be hunting. Never hunted there, guess it's time to go scouting.

[sroemmich]

Looks like im hunting antelope in Oregon for a second year in a row!!!!!

[Stick'em]

Looks like another trip back to Virginia again this year. Got nothing here.

First choice was Applegate ML deer. If I'd drawn that I'd have definitely bought the Cascade general elk tag. Not sure if I will or not w/ this deer tag, guess it depends on whether I've tagged out or not. I don't like having 2 tags for the same time in different locations and having to choose which to hunt.

Great thing about High Cascade is it doubles as a general season. It just gives one more opportunity to get out in the woods.

I picked up the following:
Doe Tag
Elk Tag - McKenzie Bow

Girlfriend picked up:
Cow Elk Tag
Buck Tag
Premium Antelope Tag!!

Looking like she is going to be filling the freezer this year. I am going to go start learning to Crochet. Anyone know any good online forums for Crocheting?!

[winterkill]

I had a page full of "Not Selected."


But my fiance, my dad and 2 hunting buddies that I mentor drew cow elk tags from the 25% pool. They all put in individually too, so crazy odds there.

Pretty close to best case scenario for me. I get to archery hunt, which I wanted to do for the first time. Then this winter I get to guide family and friends into elk during low key hunting seasons. Super stoked that I (should) get to see my fiance and my dad get elk the same year. I am at the point where seeing them have success means a lot more than my own success. One of my friends who drew will be elk hunting for his first time, so the cow tag will be a great, low key intro for him.

Congrats to all of the other successful hunters out there!

[jayman]

East Deschutes Bighorn after 10+ years of trying! My buddy has one on the wall from his hunt 15 years ago, so I have some help that knows how to get the job done.

[QuazyQuinton]

Has anyone seen the leftover list? I got an email about it, but it doesn't appear where the email says it does.

[650cent]

Didn't even draw the unit I live in. All three choices were not selected. Sucks.

[BucksDucks-n-Bulls]

I drew 615 Willamette with 0 points. Does anyone know where I can find a place to hunt?


Just kidding, I knew I had enough points, and I have a place. Gonna try and get my blind set up with a safe shot for my 9 year old to fill the tag for me. He only wants to shoot a buck, no does. That may be the tricky part. I'm ok with it, I have 4 deer and antelope tags in WY this fall. We don't need the meat of a blacktail doe. I just want him to get a deer.

Going to have to let my daughter's basketball coach know he is going to be missing a point guard for a few days in November. Interstate youth for her.

Dad is getting old so I cashed in my elk points to carry him to sled springs archery tag.

[AnnualRye]

You stole my application and my tag! Trade you?...😉

[DD877]

Drew zero on elk and deer... Hope there are some tide water fish this fall !!!!

[Josh Fisherman]

Zilch nada zip for this guy

Not even the spike tag on my second choice which has always been a guarantee. So I thought (hoped)

Guess I should have put a third choice, for that cow tag that nobody wants till July 1st.

[OSUsmokey]

Zero this year for me...bummed out about not drawing Steens deer which we thought was basically in the bag with points. Didnt even put a second choice down. Guess my seed number should have been better.

I am not getting my hopes up. Just want to learn more about this new system.

Attachment 725363

What unit did you apply for. Wagontire has a north and south as two different units. South is where we hunted a couple years back after waiting 18 years. Congrats

It is Wagontire North. I think there were 30 tags available whereas the South unit that you hunted in only has 10.

My only experience with the Wagontire unit is driving through it a couple of times and also calling a few coyotes on it. I will drive over there in July and spend sometime doing some glassing.

[RayandMandi]

Not only did I not draw.....I'm in the negative points territory now!!!!

Maybe Ron can add a column for those with negetive point ballances

[SquarePeg]

Yeah, right now they have it all screwed up. All I show is 1 point for each thing I didn't draw this year, all my accumulated points are gone. They were nearly correct first thing this morning. They had added my new points for everything but antelope. I'll give them a couple days to fix it before I go scalp hunting ... but if they don't get it right, I'll definitely be scalp hunting.

[OSU Fisher]

Anyone else lose all their preference points? Mine are gone.. Hope they come back without any issues

I guess maybe its a issue. See someone else posted about it. Other buddies now confirmed they have the problem as well

[Mountain Climber]

Yep, mine too...It went from no change this morning (applied for all preference points this year) to this afternoon, it shows only 1 point for deer, elk and antelope and 600 series stayed the same...

[gonfishenagin]

I got a 158 buck tag. A 258R1 and 615 where do I hunt tag.
Spousal unit drew 158 and 470C

[Twitch]

I'm now -3 points for antlerless, -2 points for elk, and lost 8 points on antelope (now have 1)...

I have you beat, I have -3 antlerless points. I had three and drew the Willy tag this year. It's going to take a while to draw again if I start over with -3.

Speaking of which, I do have a couple places to hunt, but always looking for more. Willing to trade dory trip

I feel for ya !! I'm not even looking at mine I know I didn't draw anything BUT my son after 17 yrs finally drew Mt Emily Bow

[AnnualRye]

Just lost all my antelope and elk points, in addition to drawing squat...?

[Herm]

Same here...I didn't get credit for my point savers on top of not getting drawn for my other stuff.

[Radke]

I pulled my first choice for elk this year, but now I have -4 elk points going forward. Crap, I'll be 72 years old before I ever get back to zero.

also lost all my 100 and 600 series points.

love to know just how that happened.

If you have negative points, are you still eligible for the 25% draw?

[RayandMandi]

That will be an additional app fee, kinda like the late buying a tag fee they have to be eligible. Heard starting in July you will be able to buy points to bring it back to zero at $25 a point

[wildwood]

I think everyone should call ODFW local offices. So if you live in Corvallis for example call Adair Village. Salem, well call the headquarters. Eugene, call Springfield. If you tie up every single phone line they have may be they will get the point.

[AnnualRye]

Mine are now showing up current. Hopefully they've fixed the problem.

lol just seen a old Petticoat Junction episode with some fat guy named Pixly fats as a horseshoe pitcher and that sounds like him.

I would support something like when you draw but unsuccessful you wait a few years to try again. Not this once drawn you through no matter if you filled your tag or not.
Washington is or used to be like that for Moose, Goats, Sheep. You were only done if yo tagged a animal not just because you drew.
You had to wait 5-10 years to try again but you still had another chance to draw if you didn't tag something.
But why shouldn't people get to hunt Deer or Elk if they want to try and hunt Goat or sheep?, or be told they can only apply for one or the other?

[Kenamatic]

With the preference points being gone, or wrong could it be if you show 1 point it is the points gained this year? If you drew with 3 points you could show a -3 putting you back to 0 for next year. Just a guess, or ODFW just is messed up

[RebelwithClaws]

Yeah I vote the 20th LOL. I got my first choices on both my Deer and Elk Choices so I'm ok with that.










If anyone's got the 155A tag and 255X tags and want to pair up PM me I have those tags or will when I purchase them.


I thought they didn't draw until July though? But...
Anyhows I got what I wanted so happy.

[Mossyhorn]

ODFW got the preference point thing fixed. Mine are updated and many are reporting the same.

Yeah that'd be my guess is if you had 3 points prior to draw, and you drew you first hunt choice that -3 probably means you lost those points and are even again. or 0.
Wait 24 hours or so then check again for those that are seeing minus points, and let the system refresh.

[Summersteel]

Got lucky and drew the tag I've been waiting 16 years for-255R1 Walla Walla Bow No. 1.
YESSS!!!

[luvs2fish]

I drew my 2nd choice Metolious any Elk archery. Will do General Archery for deer
16 yr old daughter drew the Youth East slope elk tag. General Rifle tag for deer.
Wife drew SW Grizzly elk. Will do General Archery for deer
Youngest daughter and first time hunter (12) will get the Metolious first time youth Rifle Buck tag once the app comes live July 1st. She will hunt the General Rifle Cascade bull elk with her Great Grandfather.

We drew less than nothing, High Cascade buck as a second choice for me and somehow we applied my son for the wrong tag so his 11 points easily drew the tag that only needed 4. We realized this 2 weeks ago and called ODFW and they sent the point return petition form out which I got Saturday. I mailed it back Tuesday afternoon. Hopefully they decide to rescind his app and return his points.

my best friends 17 year old son drew Youth late season Interstate buck tag for the 2nd time.

[QuazyQuinton]

Daughter drew Snake River any bull rifle elk tag. We know the country is way bigger than we can handle, but we'll have fun trying. I'm planning to bowhunt elk, and she's planning to bowhunt deer, so we'll make a scouting trip in September.

Son drew the North Bank youth blacktail buck hunt. If he's patient, it should be a good chance for him to get a nice buck.

Younger son will get to do a mentored buck deer hunt with me in the Imnaha unit. We tried a couple years ago, but he's a little older and more engaged now, so I think our chances are better.

[Mauser8MM]

We drew Catherine creek bull tags for 3rd year in a row and Fossil buck tags with 2nd choice. Lots of tags in fossil for a small amoint of public so that one will be interesting.

Wow !! I'm super Jealous between my 3 boys I put them in for this hunt 18 times with my youngest having the most points when he was 17 with 8 or 9 points and still never drew

It takes almost 12 points to draw it.

[TripleJ]

My oldest son and I drew rifle mule deer tags, it will be a first for both of us. I've bow-hunted for elk and deer many times in the unit we drew, but never rifle hunted mule deer ever, it should be a fun change of pace. My youngest son drew a youth cow tag.

Ya I bet it does now. While I understand the "getting kids involved" aspect of it all I really wish they (odfw) wouldn't give all these extra points to kids just cause. They are in the same boat as us adults now with point creep

[Rawsk]

My son and I got lucky and got Metolius deer with 0 points. I used all mine for Starkey Exp forest last year which was a big disappointment with only 2 of 25 hunters getting bucks. And I got my second choice for elk-Willamette LOP.
