Elk Tag Opportunity
The Tribal Natural Resources Department will once again offer a limited number of Landowner Preference (LOP) elk tags to
Tribal members for this fall’s hunting season.
As a landowner, the Tribe is eligible to participate in the State’s LOP program. Based on the number of acres the Tribe owns,
we can get six additional antlerless elk tags from the state. These LOP tags are not related to the Tribe’s Consent Decree tags that
we receive each year. They are based solely on the Tribe being a landowner.
A number of important differences between the LOP tags and the Tribe’s regular tags are summarized in the table below.

Application and selection
process
Apply to Tribe for
Tribal drawing
Apply to Tribe for LOP drawing; if selected apply to state
for controlled hunt tag (list LOP unit in LOP section on state
controlled hunt application)
Obtain tag from
Tribe
State – Tribal member must purchase tag
* Note: If you are drawn for an LOP tag, you are still eligible to apply for and be drawn for a Tribal tag.
Please note that a major difference between the LOP tags and the Tribe’s regular tags is that only the person drawn for the tag
can hunt that tag. The tag cannot be given to someone else to hunt for you. Therefore, only those folks serious about hunting
this hunt themselves are eligible to apply.
The drawing for the six LOP elk tags will be held at the Natural Resources Committee Meeting on April 2 at 4:45 p.m. in the
Natural Resources Department Map Room. Applications are available on the Tribal website and at the Tribal Natural Resources
office in Siletz. Completed applications are due in the Natural Resources office by 4:30 p.m. on March 30, 2018.
For more information regarding these tags and the differences between the Tribe’s regular tags and the LOP tags, contact Natural
Resources Manager Mike Kennedy at 541-444-8232 or 800-922-1399, ext. 1232.
