New Oregon resident

[PaulB84]

My sister and her husband just moved to the Hood River area. They're both supremely outdoorsy and I am now trying to take advantage of their resident status and get them into hunting. I'm a meat guy, don't give two shits about antlers. A cow would be a huge trophy for us.

If I were to act as their "guide" knowing nothing about the actual areas but plenty about hunting in general, where would you suggest we start?

Thanks in advance

E scout and Boots on the ground.

From what I understand, they just fill out a few forms online and buy a license, same as I would for deer or whatever in my home state?

OTC elk in OR is a crap shoot, good luck

Well basically too late for this year. But you can buy preference points for this year if you do it before November 31st. You will have to buy a hunting license first. I don’t do cow hunts myself but most take several points. So a couple years of applying.
But there are opportunities if you have money or know people with a large amount of land to get land owner tags.

Good luck general seasons are um well general seasons…

Understood. So even as a resident you need points?

If they just moved there, they are likely not entitled to resident licenses for this season:
