SALEM — Tags that are leftover from the big game controlled hunt draw will be available online, on a first come, first served basis, beginning July 1 at 10 a.m.

Tags sell out quickly, according to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Hunters who were selected for a controlled hunt or have bought a tag (general or controlled) will not be eligible to participate in the sale until July 2 at 10 a.m.

To begin, go to the online licensing page and be logged in by July 1 at 10 a.m. with your ODFW username and password. The “Enter Leftover Tag Sale” button will not be active green on the login page until 10 a.m. If you are logged in prior to 10 a.m., you will need to hit refresh to see the “Enter Leftover Tag Sale” button active.

Starting July 2 at 10 a.m., all hunters will be able to purchase leftover tags both online and at retail agents. The tags will be in the product catalog and there will not be a featured sales banner on the home screen.

Hunters who have already won in the controlled hunt draw will be able to forfeit their controlled hunt win July 2 after 10 a.m. and buy a leftover tag. If you have a controlled hunt win in a series you are selecting a leftover tag for you will see a pop up after selecting the leftover hunt you want.
