Oregon Deer · JT-03 Juntura 03
Oregon JT-03 spans 1,181,444 acres, centered 25 miles north-east of Burns. 59% of it is public land, mostly national forest (32%) and BLM (21%). Its most applied-for hunt, JT103, put up 1,430 tags (all residencies) in the 2026 draw for 81 nonresident first-choice applicants, 40 of whom drew, and the last tag went to someone with 1 point.
New for 2026: The First Draw Held Here
JT-03 did not exist before the 2026 deer draw. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife drew it over the older units: 66% Unit 66 — Malheur River, 17% Unit 65 — Beulah, 17% Unit 69 — Steens Mtn. Each of those pages keeps the odds history for the ground. The chances below are that one draw's actual results, not an estimate, and there is no point-creep trend to read yet.

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2026 draw, the latest on file, computed from Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's published results. 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.
