I too am Mr. Unsuccessful across the board.....I now have 17 Elk preference points, 16 Antelope and 13 deer

Wow! 17 pts for elk would buy you any hunt as resident. That non-resident quota really sticks it to you. Especially since non president compete with guides for tags. To paraphrase from the oregontags site. The wenaha rifle bull tag as a non resident quota of 1. If a guide applies and draws that tag, the quota goes to 0. You could outnumber everyone by 50 pref points and you still couldn't get drawn. The next year goes to a non-resident and nit a guide. Basically a non-resident gets drawn every other year.

CA has way fewer elk tags. Even so they are pretty harsh with a statewide non-resident quota of 1.

I say vote with your feet. I figured OR's stingy NR quotas were an OK value with a $70 license, but not worth it when they raised the price. I quit and told them why...


I wouldn't do CA as a nonresident either. There is a proposal to raise sheep and elk (I think elk) to a 15% nonresident cap, I hope it passes more than as a goodwill gesture and would enable me to talk crap about other states quotas... But it will bring the DFG a lot of nonresident tag and application fees if it passes too... Nonresident deer is uncapped...
