Oregon Mountain Goat Draw FAQ
When do I apply for Oregon mountain goat and when do I find out if I drew?
For the 2026 regular draw, applications close May 15 and results post June 12. Mark those dates on your calendar and submit before the deadline—late entries aren't accepted. Results come out the same day for all hunters.
How much does it cost to apply and hunt mountain goat in Oregon as a nonresident?
The application fee is $8. If you draw a tag, your tag fee is $1513.5. Budget both into your planning—the tag fee is substantially higher than resident cost ($142), which is typical for nonresident western big-game hunts.
What's my shot at drawing a mountain goat tag in Oregon as a nonresident?
Nonresidents are allocated 5% of tags statewide across 10 units. Your actual odds depend on how many nonresidents apply, your preference points, and competition on your chosen unit. The hybrid system favors applicants with more points, but Oregon doesn't publish specific odds by point level.
How do preference points work in Oregon's mountain goat draw?
Each unsuccessful application earns you one preference point toward future draws. The more points you accumulate, the better your odds in the hybrid draw. Apply consistently to build points, and review individual unit data below to pick your strategy—some units may require fewer points than others.
