Want a chance to hunt big game for months and during the rut—or a rare chance to hunt for a bighorn sheep or Rocky Mountain goat?
Big game raffle tickets are on sale until May 30 at 6 p.m. online at MyODFW’s licensing page and at license sales agents.
Raffle tags won can be used in addition to regular fall hunts—meaning hunters who win the tag can still hunt regular controlled or general big game seasons.
Big game raffle hunt seasons run Aug. 1 – Nov. 30 and allow for hunting in an expanded area. Ticket prices vary from $4.50 to $11.50 per ticket, with discounts for buying a package of 6, 15 or 40 tickets. Pricing info is available here.
The raffle drawing will happen via YouTube livestream at 6:30 p.m. on May 30 on ODFW’s YouTube page.

Funds raised by the deer and elk raffle tags go to the Access and Habitat Program, which provides grants to open public hunting access on private land and improve wildlife habitat. Proceeds from the bighorn sheep, pronghorn and Rocky Mountain goat tags fund research and management efforts for those species.
From brown bear and Dall’s sheep in Alaska, to elephant and Cape buffalo in Africa, Dwight Van Brunt has hunted much of the world’s great game. In Born a Hunter, his first book, he takes the reader along on more than thirty exciting trips afield. Honest, humorous and edgy, Van Brunt writes in a fashion that goes beyond the too-common where-to-go and how-to-do-it that is so common in outdoor writing. Join him on an exciting chase after a cattle-killing leopard and a grueling hunt for a grand desert bighorn. Share his adventures for Stone’s sheep in the Yukon, desert mule deer in Sonora, and both sable and kudu in Namibia. Look over his shoulder as he hunts bighorn sheep, moose, elk, and deer alone and with his son and daughter. With field photography, and superb illustrations by Jocelyn Russell, Van Brunt has spent a lifetime pondering why he is so drawn to the hunt. His book is a must-read for anyone who shares his passion. Buy Now
