No tag may be exchanged after the start of the season for which it is valid. Exceptions can be found under OAR 635-065-0015 (General Tag Requirements and Limits).

(c)

A “leftover” controlled hunt deer tag may only be exchanged for a general season deer tag, but only if the person does not already possess a deer tag authorized by OAR 635-065-0015 (General Tag Requirements and Limits)(4)(a), (b), or (c).

(e) In the event of the death of a successful controlled hunt applicant before the start of the season for which the tag or permit was issued, the tags of the deceased may be issued to an immediate family member as defined by OAR 635-045-0002 (Definitions). Tag or permit transfer shall require a copy of the death certificate and must be requested by the legal heir to the deceased which shall be presumed by possession of the death certificate.

For the purposes of this rule, “terminally ill” means that the family member has a medical prognosis that his or her life expectancy is 12 months or less if the illness runs its normal course.
