Nonresident permit and tag opportunities
First-pass official-source research package for nonresident applications, draw/OTC paths, odds, harvest stats, and map linkage. Retrieved 2026-05-13.
Nonresidents buy an Oregon hunting license, then apply through MyODFW/HuntFish Oregon, a license agent, or an ODFW office. Controlled hunts are organized by series: 100 buck deer, 200 elk, 400 pronghorn, 500 bighorn sheep, 600 antlerless deer, 700 spring bear, 900 Rocky Mountain goat, plus premium L/M/N series for deer/elk/pronghorn. Standard controlled hunts allow up to five choices per series. Most deer, elk, pronghorn and spring bear tags use 75% preference-point allocation and 25% random allocation among remaining first-choice applicants; bighorn sheep, Rocky Mountain goat and premium hunts are random with no preference points. Spring bear applications are due Feb. 10; all other big game controlled and premium applications are due May 15 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Results are available by Feb. 20 for spring bear and June 12 for other big game. Leftover controlled tags are sold first-come online beginning July 1 at 10 a.m., with restrictions for hunters already selected or holding a tag in the same species/series.

Yes for specific general seasons: western Oregon general buck deer, several general elk seasons, fall bear, cougar, and some elk archery/damage opportunities. Eastern Oregon deer and much Oregon elk opportunity are controlled; always confirm the current regulation table and tag sale deadline.
Spring bear controlled hunt applications are due Feb. 10. Other big game controlled and premium applications are due May 15 by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time.
For deer, elk, pronghorn and spring bear, 75% of tags go to first-choice applicants with the most preference points and 25% are random among remaining first-choice applicants. Sheep, goat and premium hunts are random with no preference points.
Yes for allowed controlled hunts, but parties are not split if the nonresident maximum is reached or not enough tags remain. There are no party applications for bighorn sheep, Rocky Mountain goat, or premium hunts.
Use the existing Oregon wmu layer for WMU-based hunts. For 2026 Eastern Oregon mule deer, add/obtain a Deer Hunt Area layer before promising exact map linkage.
