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

hunters that apply by March 15,
2012.
• 20 Sports Pacs (or Non-
Resident Hunting Licenses) will
be awarded among pool of
hunters that apply by April 15,
2012.
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.
