Bonus points - special permit hunts
Preference points - general permit hunts

Makes sense to separate them to me.

Bonus point systems = you get bonus entries into the random draw
Preference point systems = higher point holders get preference.

So I'm not sure why anyone would apply as a group if one person has less than 1pt  2pt going forward. That would really put your group in no man's land.

Fixed....   You want zero or 2.0 or greater.

Yeah, we'll be going.  Still a pretty good value in my opinion.

It seems like more hunters are potentially dropping out of Montana this year? Be interested in who is skipping Montana that would normally apply. Montana is still good hunting but Mule deer are down significantly in some areas as well. With odds so well published I think zero points could be a much bigger gamble than last year. At least with buying a point you would be close to 100 percent every other year.

Don't forget the good news about WA being a better elk state.   :chuckle:

I would be surprised to see fewer trucks but you never know.
