One of the best, condensed, explainations of Oregon's draw is at: http://www.dfw.state.or.us/resources/hunting/big_game/controlled_hunts/

It should be very helpful for those new to the draw game in Oregon.

2007 raffle tag drawing results...

From: http://www.dfw.state.or.us/resources/hunting/auctions_r...7_raffle_winners.asp

Bighorn Sheep
Winner: Mike Carpinito, Kent, WA
1st Alternate: Alfredo Julian, Vancouver, WA
2nd Alternate: Timothy Eterno, Molalla, OR

Rocky Mountain Goat
Winner: Alfredo Julian, Vancouver, WA (he also won the Statewide Combination Deer and Elk)
1st Alternate: Bernie Weisgerber, Klamath Falls, OR
2nd Alternate: Gerald Warnock, Portland, OR (he won the Southeast Oregon Deer)

Wow! Can you believe how "LUCKY" some people are? What are the odds of winning one raffle... let alone multiple... in the same year even? I can't believe it.

Seems I recognize another name or two also. Hmmm?

The "Proposed 2007-2008 Tag Numbers and Season Dates" (which is dated 5/7/2007) has been made public and may now be found at: http://www.dfw.state.or.us/resources/hunting/big_game/c...GHORN%20SHEEP%20.pdf

Note that there are some changes, especially in 2008. A couple of well known units will have their "hunts" and dates combined into single hunts/seasons.

Draw results are now available on-line. Go to: http://www.dfw.state.or.us/resources/hunting/big_game/controlled_hunts/

You'll need to enter your 2007 hunting license number in order to find out your draw results.
