Nope. Bought a point and applied this year.
you lost your points then. You can't go consecutive years without applying.



We had 2 points through 2022 and bought a point.  Didn't draw the combo.

Yikes

I'm feelin a little chapped right now.

Do they add PP before or after the draw?  If you whiffed with 3 that would be pretty remarkable.
you get your point before the draw. 3pts is automatic draw in MT. You cannot whiff with 3.

Negative on a Big Game combo with 1 point.....  Guess I should have gone in with no points but I really want to go back when the herd is better....

I think some in our group didn't have as many maybe?  I didn't go 2 years without applying.  Still trying to figure out what happened.

If you didnt apply last year, the most you could possibly have this year is 2, and only if you bought a point only in 2022. You cant have not applied last year and had 3 this year.
If you miss a single year of applying your points are gone.

all the mule deer died out east this winter so everybody should just plan on hunting whitetail west of Deer Lodge.

Yeah, go away, west of the continental divide, preferably along the border with ID :chuckle:  JK, good luck to all who draw!

I looked back and you guys are correct.  Still chapped but not as much!

I don't think that is true.  If you apply one year and don't draw, buy the next, and apply the third you should have 3.  As I understand it you can't buy two years in a row or you lose your oldest point, but you can alternate.  If you had to apply every year there would be no option to buy a point.

Essentially you can only buy your first point as a point only. Anything past that has to be on an application. Once you start applying you have to keep applying or you lose your points.

Yeah, it's a bit convoluted, sounds like you can't buy points 2 years in a row (consecutive years)?  Max points is 3.  At least that's what GoHunt thinks.

Quote
Accumulated preference points will be used during the current drawing whether you purchase an additional preference point or not. Any accumulated preference points are lost if the applicant does not apply for a nonresident combination license in consecutive years, or if you are successful at obtaining a combination license.

No one may hold more than 3 preference points.

3 deer tags drawn for our family. I will buy My Daughter a deer tag as well so we will have 4 total. Son and I each drew with 2pts. Wife drew with 1pt. Really didn't want her to draw this year but oh well. We all put in separately.
