Oregon’s hunt units number in the dozens, of which many are draw-only for big game tags; while others are over-the-counter tags. Each hunt unit, however, has its own restrictions and boundaries to follow, but with over 34 million acres of public land open to hunters, there’s a unit for everyone. Ensure you know all the details for the hunt unit in which you’ll hunt.
