Big game raffle and auction hunts
All funds raised by deer and elk auction and raffle tags go directly to the Access and Habitat Program. Funds raised by bighorn sheep, pronghorn, and Rocky Mountain goat auction and raffle tags go directly to the management of those species.
Big game raffles
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.
