I believe they have been doing the point system for 9 years now, but don't quote me.

There are a couple ways to get more points that I know of . You can get 10 "bonus" points for turning in poachers that are appliedonly to deer or elk. You can also get "extra" points if you can prove that F&G messed up on your application or you draw a unit that you did not apply for. I know this 'cause it happened to a friend. F&G gave him his points back plus one since they could not prove that he wouldn't have drawn his second or third choice.

I would be interested to know any other ways to get extra points.
