PORTLAND – More than 1,300 tags for limited entry deer and elk hunts will be sold first-come, first-served starting at 10 a.m. Tuesday at license agents around the state. These tags were left over in nine hunts after the drawing for controlled tags.

Leftover tags are those that hunters did not apply for. The hunts are often less desirable because they require landowner permission, access is difficult or supply exceeded the demand.

Hunters will be limited to buying one leftover tag per hunt series. However, a buyer may choose to purchase that tag for another person. Leftover tags may be purchased in addition to a regular controlled or general season tag in the same hunt series. Buck deer and bull elk are two of the most popular hunt series.

Nonresidents may purchase the tags, but sales are limited to a maximum of 5 percent of the tags allocated for the hunt.

The two youth hunts with leftover tags are limited to hunters aged 12 to 17 years old. No mail order or fax orders are taken for left over tags.
