Oregon
« on: December 29, 2018, 11:57:11 AM »
I recently moved to Oregon for job reasons. I still have my home in WA and will go back often. Is there any hunting reason to change my residency to Oregon?  I can easily split my time 50-50.

Pick one or the other. Here are the Washington requirements:

For the purposes of this title or rules adopted under this title, "resident" means:
(1) A natural person who has maintained a permanent place of abode within the state for at least ninety days immediately preceding an application for a license, has established by formal evidence an intent to continue residing within the state, is not licensed to hunt or fish as a resident in another state or country, and is not receiving resident benefits of another state or country.
(a) For purposes of this section, "permanent place of abode" means a residence in this state that a person maintains for personal use.
(b) A natural person can demonstrate that the person has maintained a permanent place of abode in Washington by showing that the person:
(i) Uses a Washington state address for federal income tax or state tax purposes;
(ii) Designates this state as the person's residence for obtaining eligibility to hold a public office or for judicial actions;
(iii) Is a registered voter in the state of Washington; or
(iv) Is a custodial parent with a child attending prekindergarten, kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, or high school in this state.
(c) A natural person can demonstrate the intent to continue residing within the state by showing that he or she:
(i) Has a valid Washington state driver's license; or
(ii) Has a valid Washington state identification card, if the person is not eligible for a Washington state driver's license; and
(iii) Has registered the person's vehicle or vehicles in Washington state;
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

Oregon has better hunting, more public land, and less people. If you can, change your residency to Oregon and hunt there, and skip Washington altogether.

I can legally change it since I have a home here and work here.

It depends on what kind of hunting you like to do.  It's true that Oregon has more public land and less people.  Talking deer and elk, I would say this.
For archery, Oregon has a longer early season.  Muzzleloader seasons are more generous and less restrictive in Washington.  For modern firearms, basically all of the deer and elk hunting east of the Cascades is by limited quota draws only. Some areas are easy to draw, but the higher quality units usually require a few years of accumulating points. You have to decide, if your ok with not being able to hunt the east side every year to draw the better tags.

Do you know how your decision would effect whether or not you will be paying the Oregon income tax?  You might be money ahead by remaining a Washington resident to avoid Oregon's taxes and buy nonresident licenses if you really want to hunt there.

If he’s working in Oregon he’s paying Oregon income tax so you might as well just move there and take advantage of no sales tax.

I would think the decision comes down to other factors like which state you want to vote in, register vehicles, tax considerations, etc. I suppose if you have a lot of bonus points in certain species that might be a consideration also.

You retain the points but fees go from $7 to $110 per application.

If he’s trying to get away from Washington though Oregon isn’t much of a change, he should probably run farther lol

It’s amazing how much different the majority of people are on the east side vs West for both Washington and Oregon.
