Title: Points
Post by: JimWA on April 20, 2020, 08:45:42 AM: Is there some where you can tell how many total points there are for a species. For example mountain goats say 20 points how many have this amount.

Right. You can't tell by point level, but there were 3,862 applications for points only.

(Why that many would skip a year in applying for a permit in which the odds are miniscule is beyond me.)
