It sounds like the Oak Mtn hunt doesn't start until after the noon orientation on Monday...is that right?
Also, one of the administrative rules (220-2-.140) referenced in the hunt guidelines says that all 4 deer allowed may be harvested in the same day. Does that jive with what has been said at the orientation? There is a new rule for this year that requires a doe to be harvested prior to the one allowed buck.

Correct. You’ll have the orientation and then turned loose for that evening’s hunt. Multiple deer a day is allowed. Let me know if you get unit 3, I can share intel.

I will say this though, when the SOAs first started (before they did pref points) I got drawn and went every single year for probably 4-5 years in a row. I've hunted Stimpson section 12 like 5 times lol

Thanks! I just got the email to pay the $40 fee. Sounds like the unit assignments will be made the first week of Oct. Interestingly, the registration webpage showed availability of only 6 possible hunters for each week, so that fits with what I've read about not all 8 zones being hunted each week.

That makes sense. I'd really like to see the numbers on the hunt applications. Like how many people apply for each particular hunt every year.
I inquired one time and was told i need to do a FOIA request.

Any info about Portland Landing for the October 24 hunt. Tons of info. See what area you draw and post it and someone will have some experience in that area more than likely

Thanks for the explanation on points, I think I am headed in the right direction and hopefully in another year or two, I will get selected for one of the ones I always register for......if so, I will definitely take my wife as my guest to get her a good opportunity on a good one..... Yeah just keep trying every year. I think with the growing popularity of it, the draw for Portland/Cedar is getting harder and harder. I drew for Cedar Creek 2 years ago with 65 which took me 5 years. A buddy who is at 126 pts this year put in for it and did not get drawn. My guess is that outside of being super lucky, its going to take 6-9 years to draw (at least for the prime hunts). Most states out west provide draw statistics, i cant imagine this would be hard for the DCNR to make public but then again it could be discouraging, especially for non residents who at minimum have to get the 3 day + WMA license.
