Oregon Deer · KE-01 Keno 01
Oregon KE-01 covers 667,822 acres and lies 17 miles north-west of Klamath Falls and 34 miles east of Ashland. 41% of it is public land, mostly national forest (27%) and other public land (10%). Its most applied-for hunt, KE101, put up 825 tags (all residencies) in the 2026 draw for 12 nonresident first-choice applicants, 3 of whom drew, and the last tag went to someone with 1 point.
New for 2026: The First Draw Held Here
KE-01 did not exist before the 2026 deer draw. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife drew it over the older units: 100% Unit 31 — Keno. 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.
