One deer tag a year, unless a second is drawn. In western Oregon the general any-legal-weapon and general archery tags are bought over the counter and take one buck with a visible antler; in eastern Oregon every deer tag is a controlled 100 series tag drawn for a single hunt area, and the tag names the hunt. White-tailed deer are illegal to harvest in every western Oregon unit except controlled hunts in Melrose (#23) that list them in the bag limit. Antlerless deer hunting is the 600 series and is not carried here. 2026 Oregon Big Game Hunting Regulations, printed pp. 30-43.

You

What you pay, and in several states what you are even offered.

Residency

Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife prices residents and non-residents differently, and sells some tags to only one of them.

Licences

Without one of these there is no legal way to hunt deer here.

Tags and permits

Good anywhere in the state.

Tags for a unit

Drop a pin first — these are sold per unit or deer hunt area, and the app will not guess which one you meant.

Nothing to tick here yet.

Nothing in your wallet yet

Tick what you hold and the calendar starts answering for you rather than for everybody. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife sells them at the link below.

Prices are what the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife printed for 2026, and are here to help you recognise a tag rather than to sell you one.

Oregon deer seasons, 2026

Oregon’s 2026 deer seasons run August 1, 2026 to January 1, 2027, and what is open on a given day depends on the unit or deer hunt area your stand is in. Drop a pin above and this app reads the unit or deer hunt area off it, then answers the rest from there — the dates, the legal arms, the bag limits and the shooting hours, transcribed page by page from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife digest. It is a planning aid, not the law: check the digest before you hunt.
