Title: How many Points
Post by: buckhorn2 on April 28, 2014, 05:16:24 PM: Wondering how to find out how many points a person has. I was looking at the new regs and thought I should see how many points I had before trying to put in for the draws.

Post by: bobcat on April 28, 2014, 07:45:32 PM: Something to keep in mind: if you look at last year's results page to see how many points you have, the "points used" number shown isn't necessarily the number of points you have. If you applied as a group, that number is the average of the group. So don't get concerned if you should have 12 points and it only shows two! This is when you might need to look at the back door, that will show you your entire history since the point system started.

For deer and elk app's you need to have a license. For moose, sheep, and goats, you don't.
