Across Oregon's 11 bighorn sheep units with published draw data, odds range widely. The most sought-after limited-entry units can take years of preference points to pull, while others draw closer to every year. That split is the heart of a Oregon bighorn sheep strategy: bank points for a low-odds trophy tag, or hunt a high-odds unit this season.
Draw odds are the ratio of tags available to applicants, so a low number means heavy competition, not a bad hunt. Read them next to the 1st-choice applicants and points required before you commit. Every figure below comes from official Oregon wildlife-agency draw results; the table sorts hardest-draw first.
A note on Oregon applicant counts. Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife publishes only the applicants who ranked each hunt first, so that is the figure below and the denominator of the odds beside it. Hunters who listed a unit as a second or later choice can and do draw these tags, so the real field competing for them is larger than the number shown. There is no total-applicant figure in the source to publish instead.
