Since 1995, the A&H program has raffled off exclusive tags, offering hunters additional opportunity to their controlled and general season tags. All tags allow for hunting with any legal weapon, have extended season dates of Aug. 1 – Nov. 30, and are in addition to controlled and general season tags. Raffle rules and drawing order can be found here, in the Oregon Big Game Hunting Regulations.

Each tag allows for hunting with any legal weapon, and extended season dates.
