Title: points question
Post by: buglebuster on April 30, 2011, 07:11:18 AM: Last year with the new points system i only put in for the bull section and had 6pts. This year I would like to put in for quality elk and was wondering since I didnt last year will I have any points in that section or did I have to apply last year to get my previous points locked in?

Once you have points, the only way to lose than is to be drawn for that category.

The last guy to sign up will see what the points average out to be.

Right now you should have 6 for quality and 7 for bull (this is before you put in). This year when you apply another point will be added to each category. So you will have 7 for quality and 8 for bull.
