Secondly, I wish there was a preference point only option. Some years I don't want to get draw for a certain species but don't want to lose out on my point, so I put in for the slimmest chance possible hunt and hope I don't pull it!! Just did that with turkey, I don't want to get draw for next spring, but I want my point.
^^^ Nice but I'm not seeing where to access your pref points. You'd think it would be on the pref points page, but I'm not seeing it anywhere.
Problem with that strategy is that you will get drawn for your lowest preference and wipe out your best spot.Two things. Noticed they now have a preference point look up now! Type in your info and you can see how many points you have for each species. That is nice. If they had this before I have never noticed it.

Yeah, I read that wrong yesterday.Not sure I quite follow what you are saying. Typically when I do this I apply for only one choice for that species in one of the longest chance draws available. Typically, those with the longest draw odds are your most desirable/best hunts anyway. So if by chance I am drawn I at least have a good hunt to go on, IF I can make it. If not, oh well that's the chance I take. Its the best I can do when a pref point only option is not available.
