ABOUT THE AUTHORS OF % TAGS

The Oregon Tag Guide is derived from data supplied by the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife. The projected percentages show the effects of Oregon's preference point system. For each of this year's hunts, it is presumed that the number of tags and applicants will be comparable to recent years. Actual results from the drawing will vary based upon significant changes in the number of tags or applicants (or both). The value of this guide lies in the fact that most hunts are consistent, and thus predictable.

Each hunt listed in this guide is being offered by Oregon this year. Some of the hunts were not offered in previous years and are shown as "NEW". The new hunts have no history and thus no projection is made for the chance of drawing a tag.

In general, the higher the quality of the hunt, the lower the chance of drawing a tag. But those who read this guide closely, will discover hunts that are overlooked, along with hunts that are over-rated. Using the Oregon Tag Guide you can make an informed decision when selecting a big game hunt and take control of your hunting opportunities.

Percentage Tags is not affiliated with the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife. It does not determine or help determine the number of tags that will be available. It also has no control over the number of people that will apply for any particular hunt. Because of this, Percentage Tags cannot and does not warrant or guarantee the projected percentages.

The Oregon Tag Guide should be used in conjunction with the current Oregon Big Game Regulations. Check the regulations for any special limitations regarding applicants, weapons, and harvest. Always confirm the hunt number in the regulations.
