Oregon draw results are up

Who is spring bear hunting?

 

[taybou]

I'm coming back up to NW after hunting SW for the last few years. Such a fun hunt, excited for the green up!

No dice for me- you draw Roosie?

Oddly enough, my wife drew with 0, I drew with 1, and my sis in law drew with 2 (stott/alsea) I figured my wife and I had no chance. I figured next year I would draw (maybe)

I usually have zero luck winning anything, and I’m the guy who doesn’t draw with 92% draw odds, but I’ll take it

Looks like my daughter has a very good chance at killing her first bear this spring with 3 tags in the mix, not what I expected, but I’m excited. Only downside is I will probably only do one turkey trip over east this year, but that’s ok.

That's awesome- I have no doubt you guys will fill the tags

We will certainly be trying!

This is probably my last local tag for awhile, I really want to do a solo horseback hunt in Hell’s Canyon for my next bear tag

Drew SW. Can't wait.

 

[Jaden Bales]

Got a good east side tag.

 

[TripleJ]

I also drew a good east side tag (unexpectedly), I'm excited to see some country in the spring I've only ever seen in the fall!

 

[slvrslngr]

Me and my brother didn’t draw. Trying to decide on plan B. Probably chasing turkeys.

 

[Queets30#]

Drew with 0 in my favorite eastern Oregon unit!!

 

[ORJoe]

Nope, gonna go read the 40 page Idaho thread a few more times

 

[wapitibob]

Decided not to apply.

 

[Diced]

I drew the NW tag. I'll be in the Cascades mostly. May poke around in the 2020 burn areas too.

 

[ccoffey]

Failed at Mt Emily with 6

Anyone know when the leftovers go on sale (if there are any)?

I don’t think there have been leftovers the past couple years like there used to be, but I’m curious now

If I can find the answer, I’ll post it here

I wish it was all otc, I don’t know why it’s a draw in the spring but I can kill 2 otc in the fall. If it’s application costs they don’t want to lose, raise the price for spring bear tags and let those hunt who want to hunt

I always wondered how many tags aren’t hunted, and how many tags aren’t even bought?

It would be pretty easy to treat spring bear like lions, have unit quotas and shut them down when the quota is met if they want to control the number of bear killed in the spring

SW. I love spring bear hunting with the boys.

I feel like the tag numbers in a lot of the eastern units could go up based on the fact that some years those units are socked in with snow for the first month. I foolishly assume that they’re meeting their objective though…. The unit quota would be an awesome way to do it though.

I know 6 of us that drew SW. Went scouting yesterday, a LOT of green is already up on S and SE slopes. No bears but saw 11 deer, two spikes still carrying horns, out in the rain.
