Biggs
Oregon Unit 43 covers 1,263,494 acres and lies 32 miles south-east of The Dalles and 71 miles south-west of Hermiston. 15% of it is public land, mostly BLM (12%) and state land (2%). In 2025, 19 people hunted pronghorn here and took 12 — 63% of them killed something.
Your chance of drawing here
Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has not offered a pronghorn license in Unit 43 in any draw we hold. It has a page because the agency still publishes harvest for it — the Oregon pronghorn hunts that are on offer are drawn elsewhere.

How the hunting has gone
What Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife publishes for this area after each season — harvest statistics for everyone who hunted it, not draw odds and not a forecast. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife publishes these per hunt rather than per unit; the rows below add its own figures together, since a hunter holds one tag for the species in a season. Oregon requires every tag holder to report, but the numbers ODFW publishes are survey estimates expanded from the reporting rate — the agency's own tables are titled "Estimated harvest... based on Mandatory Harvest Survey Reports" — not a count of animals checked in.
