Fewer applicants than tags. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife publishes no per-level applicant counts for this hunt. Oregon runs a second, random pass after the points pass. As a lower choice, 679A drew no one in 2025, so lower-choice odds are left out.

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2025 draw, the latest on file, computed from Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's published results (fewer applicants than tags). They are what happened in that draw, not a forecast. Under five tags a percentage carries a *, because one applicant either way swings it. A dash means the agency did not publish the number, and a date marked expected is last cycle's schedule rolled forward. How we compute these.
