Emergency Elk hunts Oregon

Emergency Hunts
 An emergency hunt is an unanticipated hunt held on short notice to address acute agricultural damage. Many damage situations are addressed by controlled hunts during annual big game seasons. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife expects to implement very few emergency hunts during any year. On average, about 200 tags are issued annually statewide. Emergency hunt tags are in addition to tags for general seasons, controlled hunts, or leftover hunts. Emergency hunt participants
 When to Apply: Applications received prior to July 1 will only be valid on the current year’s list ending June 30 (for example, if an application was received June 29, 2011, it would be placed on a list that would expire the next day). Applications received from July 1 - July 31 will be randomly assigned to the list in the county selected by the applicant. After July 31, names will be placed on lists in the order received. Applications from Master Hunters (see page 83 of the 2012 Big Game Regulations for information) received from July 1 - July 31 will be randomized, and then placed at the top of the emergency hunt list by county. All other applications, including Master Hunters, received after July 31 will be placed on lists in the order received.are selected from a list established on a county-by-county basis. You may apply for only one county.
 Who May Apply: Hunters 12 years and older at the time of application are eligible. Persons under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult (age 21 or older) while hunting. All hunters must possess a valid hunting license. Hunters may apply singly, or in parties of two. ODFW will try to keep parties together for emergency hunts whenever possible. In hunts requiring single hunters, however, party applications may be bypassed for that opportunity but will retain their position on the list.
Disqualification: Applicants submitting more than one application will be disqualified. Application forms that are incomplete or illegible will be disqualified.
