Oregon Elk Hunting Harvest 2015-2021

The dashboard is interactive. Data visualized on the map and bar chart will update as you make different selections.

You can click the bar chart, or the map to filter to a specific unit. If you use CTRL+click you can select multiple hunting units at the same time. To clear the filter, re-click the hunting unit you selected.

• Filters – Underneath the dashboard title there are three filters:

1) Select Data filter – This filter allows you to choose one measure to be displayed on the dashboard and charts. Available measures include total harvest, total bulls, antlerless, total hunters, days hunted and count of bulls harvested by antler point.

2) Weapon filter – The weapon filter allows you to select one, two or all three weapons. The weapon choices are rifle, bow and muzzleloader.

3) Hunting Unit filter – The hunting unit filter allows you to select one, many or all hunting units.

3) Season/Tag/Hunt filter – The season/tag/hunt filter allows you to select one, many or all subhunts. Note: The Season/Tag/Hunt filter will not appear on mobile devices.

• Date range selector – Above the map there is a date range selector.

The date range selector allows you to control the years in data visualizations. You can also use the scroll bar or you can just click the numbers on the left or right and type in the year.

Subunit Data – On the bar chart you can expand the hunting units to see subunit data.

To expand subunit data, hover your cursor in the highlighted area with the + (see first bar chart image). The plus symbol appears when you are in the correct area. Click the symbol and the subunits will expand. Once expanded, you can click the – symbol if you want to hide the subunit data.

The bar charts reflect the sum of the data measure, weapon, hunting unit and years you selected.

• Selected Harvest Sum – Above the bar chart and on the right side of the dashboard is a box with the cumulative sum of all selections.

For example, the above image shows the number 119,865. This is the total number of elk harvested in all units in Oregon from 2015-2021. If you narrow the date range to 2019-2020, select the Walla Walla Unit, and choose total bulls as the measure, then the box shows the cumulative sum for 2019-2020 bull elk harvest in the Walla Walla Unit.

State of Oregon Hunting Unit Heatmap – The state of Oregon displays a heatmap with a range of color intensities over each hunting unit. The color intensity reflects each unit’s harvest relative to the other units. The number over the unit reflects the sum of that hunting unit’s data measure.

The Select Data filter, and the years you select with the date range selector determines the data applied to the map.

If you are seeing unexpected results, then double check each filter. You may have forgotten about a filter that is in place.
