I’m not sure on max for goats, but I think max for deer and elk is about 28/29
 That’s without bonus (poacher points)

Well I believe the points began in 1994 so that would make it 28 points possible?

Or was it 96?

Maximum for goat is the same as deer and elk. Points started the same year and the only real change was the great point split disaster of 2010.

Yes it was 1996, but they're not preference points in this state.

I figured the op was more about the amount of possible points and not the difference between preference and bonus points. Our state added the column of bonus points last year but in reality all of the points are bonus points. The only difference is we’re they accumulated or “gifted”

That just means you sent WDFW too much money and will never draw.

I have 27 for moose, 26 for sheep and 25 for goat, I'll never draw.  At least they are under $10/pt.

Seems like a lifetime ago when they started the point thing.  I can remember actually being excited about it.  Before points it was basically one choice and wait for a postcard in August.  Not sure I would have been as excited about them had I been able to see what they have done across the west.
