Bonus points are for the special permits and preference points are for your general combo licenses.

Why would you buy a preference point and go in with one point?? That's 0% draw odds?

while applying with 1 isn't the right strategy, getting points is. As the 0pt pool odds continue to decrease and the points pool continues to get flushed out after MT eliminated point banking, it's wise to look at 100% odds every other year vs sub 50% every year. Draw tag. Buy points falling fall. Apply next spring and purchase point. Draw the tag. Rinse and repeat.
You can certainly get lucky in the 0 pool and score multiple years but you could also be like my dad and go 0 for 3. Id much rather have the predictability of every other year :twocents:
