Becoming more common in OR lately. Point creep and reducing animal numbers are causing some folks to stop doing the points thing, and consider what to do with their pile of points. Keep buying every year or try to sell their point usage.
Have seen guys claiming to have gotten $500 and up to $1000 for using their points like this. The non resident guy in that ad has it harder due to the non-resident quotas and his points not being high enough for the really good draws. He's going to struggle to recover the years of license costs and points apps. And is competing against residents doing the same thing, whose points are more valuable due to the nonres quotas.
I'm moving back to OR now, and wish there was a way to donate my WA points to a worthy cause hunter. Would be neat if WA would allow a points transfer donation. Problem is I'll probably be a nonres by the time the WA draws open in April, so doing the "group app" thing isn't going to be much help. And am unlikely to pay the $110/app fee to keep building points.
