Return your ballot by January 31 – Make your vote count! Apply for a fall big game controlled hunt by January 31 and you will be entered into a drawing to win one of fifty 2013 Sports Pacs (a $164.75 value). For the third year, ODFW is awarding a total of 100 Sports Pacs among the pool of hunters who apply for and are issued a fall big game con- trolled hunt application before April 15. While residents re- ceive a Sports Pac, non-resi- dents selected in the drawing will win a hunting license (a $140.50 value). The purpose of the drawings is to encourage hunters to ap- ply for controlled hunts early, well before the May 15 dead- line. The sooner hunters apply, the better their chances of win- ning one of the three drawings: • 50 Sports Pacs (or Non- Resident Hunting Licenses) will be awarded among pool of hunters that apply between Dec. 1, 2011 and Jan. 31, 2012. • 30 Sports Pacs (or Non- Resident Hunting Licenses) will be awarded among pool of SPECIAL FINANCING AVAILABLE On Maytag & Whirlpool appliances $499 and up SEE STORE FOR DETAIL Whirlpool 18 CU FT CAPACITY TOP MOUNT REFRIGERATOR • Humidity-Controlled Crispers • SpillMizer™ Glass Shelves • Fixed Utility Compartment $ W8TXNGFWQ Whirlpool 3.6 CU FT.

A Sports Pac includes a Combination Angling/Hunting/ Shellfish License, a Combined Angling Harvest Tag, a Valida- tion for Upland Bird and Water- fowl hunting, plus a General or Controlled Deer, General or Controlled Elk, General Cou- gar, General or Controlled Bear and Spring Turkey Tag. The drawings will take place February 1, March 16 and April 19 and winners will be notified by mail. Hunters unsuccessful in the first or second drawing will be re-entered into future drawings. Only one entry per hunter is allowed, meaning that hunters who apply for several controlled hunts will still be en- tered only once. Controlled spring bear hunt applicants are not eligible for the drawing. Hunters may apply for con- trolled hunts online, at a license sales agent, at ODFW offices that sell licenses, or by mail or fax using the fax or mail order application (also found on page 17 of the 2012 Oregon Big Game Regulations). Mail order/fax applicants should allow 7-10 days for their applications to be processed and issued. Remember, to be eligible for the drawing, the controlled hunt application must be issued, not just re- ceived, by the drawing dead- lines (January 31, March 15 and April 15). Controlled hunt applications can be processed and issued immediately online, at license sales agents or ODFW offices. The deadline to apply for a controlled hunt is May 15 each year. In 2011, 79,481 out of 380,639 total applications, or almost 21 percent, were processed by April 15, 2011. That compares to 21 percent in 2011 and 16 percent in 2010. “Most controlled hunt appli- cations are received during the last few days,” said Deanna Er- ickson, ODFW license sales services manager. “However, these drawings have increased the number of early applicants. In the past, the high volume of sales activity in the last few days prior to the deadline led to long lines and slowed or crashed the system. The vendor that manages the license sales system is pur- chasing the Sports Pac and Non-Resident Hunting Licens- es for the winners.
