Does anyone know the date/time of the seed number draw? I would like to attend this year.

It will be interesting to see what you think of the process; I'm betting part of it will be "Really? it's 2019!"

Neat stuff. When will the results be out....Oregon is last again for no good reason.

With a June 1 change deadline, it certainly can't be earlier than that

If you would like the agency and its contractor to work 24/7 so that you can get your draw results earlier, find the ear of a legislator who agrees with you directing the commission to make those changes :idea:

Please make sure its General Fund dollars that will be paying the contractor a ridiculous amount of overtime so you can know one week earlier; I'm sure that will go over well in this state

Here are the seed numbers from 2018:

All of this is new to me.

And now (Thanks to you:flowered, all I can envision is Bingo night at the elks lodge with someone reaching into the basket and pulling out sheep tag winners!

That is not very far from the reality. :wink:

Except instead of pulling out winners, one is pulling out ping pong balls with a digit on them :flowered:


And since there are 90 digits on the picture that Stonefly1 has provided, it gets to be done 90 times


I do know that I am in the youngest 25% of the demographic in attendance

That's either awesome or sad.

Mostly depends on if I draw or not.:lurk:

That little wooden box is simple and effective. I like it.

So that's the one thing ODFW has in their whole management of big game that's simple and effective? It's nice to know it's there. Doesn't seem they can't point to much else. :wink:

Has anyone been able to get their seed numbers yet from odfw in preparation for the ping pong drawing?

I always wait until after to ask. Then I spend the 3 weeks either feeling somewhat good about my position or building myself up for the fact I’m not going to get the tag.

I emailed one year and got them. It kinda spoiled Christmas. I will be waiting for results to be posted.

Where can you find your random numbers? I don't see any linked to any of my apps in my ODFW profile page.

I don't think you can, without a data request.

Do these seed numbers, in any way, indicate if you will draw or not?

The dept creates the seed numbers, you get random numbers.

No, you can not get your random numbers prior to the seed number public process.

No "foia" request is needed. Joe public should be able to call and get them.

read post #7.

Not an exact science, or science at all, but in past years I've been able to tell on one of my apps and a cpl for friends. It's pretty obvious when you're at the btm of the pile or sitting right above the seed number for a species.

Yup, just call or email and you can get your random number.

The process itself: Here is a step-by-step process of how the random computerized controlled hunt draw works:

• Each application purchased is assigned a random 10-digit number.
  
• Members of the public are invited to ODFW headquarters to randomly choose a 10-digit draw seed number for each hunt series. (Call 503-947-6108 to participate in the drawing.)
  
• Applicants for each hunt are grouped by preference points and first choice hunt selected.
  
• Tags are awarded in each preference point group beginning with the applicant whose 10-digit number matches, or is closest to and above, the seed number. The selection continues with the applicant having the next higher 10-digit number, until 75% of the tags have been awarded or until all first-choice applicants have received tags.
  
• All remaining first-choice applicants are rearranged solely by 10-digit random number and the remaining 25% of tags are awarded randomly among all first-choice applicants for the hunt.
  
• If there are tags left, the process restarts for second choice hunt applicants. (Preference points are not a factor for awarding 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th choices.)
