oregon does not allow hunting over bait(wich is usually very close range) but because your on this site im asuming you want to spot and stock. sorry forgot to mention this before. also fall bear is over the counter tag, where as spring bear you have to draw for. im sure an outfitter could help with taggs. of the last 3 bears i whacked there, one will go record book, one was 3/16'' shy of book, and one i miss judged and only went a hair over 16 and 1/2''
