Anyone close to draw something special. I know I'm off by millions

Here are the controlled hunt seed numbers drawn at ODFW Headquarters today. Draw results will be available on June 12. If you missed the livestream, you can see a recording on our YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com//streams

What is a seed number?
- The seed number relates to the application number you receive when you apply for a tag. The seed number is where the draw begins and it proceeds numerically, eventually circling back through the smaller numbers.
- Having an application number close to and slightly bigger than the seed number DOES NOT mean you will be drawing a tag.
- The final draw results also take into account preference points, residency, party numbers, etc.

Seed numbers are selected randomly through a process that is witnessed and verified by three volunteers (not ODFW staff).

Also today, winners were drawn for big game raffle hunts. Congrats to the winners and a big thanks to all who purchased a raffle ticket! Proceeds from deer and elk raffle sales go to the Access & Habitat program which helps open private land to public hunting access. Proceeds from the antelope, bighorn sheep and Rocky Mtn goat raffle sales help fund research and management of these species.

We have a great litter of pups ready to go! They are eight weeks old, two shots, dewormed, ready to go home. Huge , HEALTHY pups. Located in Leakesville Mississippi.

The Sire is my male Chief which is off of Tucker/Freya. Chief is an exceptional family companion but a hardcore bird dog that’s hunted multiple states. He has an off switch and knows how to calm down inside.

The Dam is owned by one of my clients. She’s a great family dog, hunted locally on wild quail, woodcock and pen raised birds.

We currently have 2 girls and 5 boys.
