I'll be making my entry this week end to return for the second year.
I would like to save up a few preference points for a muzzle loader hunt but I want to hunt every year too.
I hunt GMU 78 and I don't bow hunt so to go as early as possible my bestbet is the first rifle season.
If I understand the way it works I can't purchase a preference point and still have any chance of drawing a tag for the first rifle since last year the quota was 2100 and there were 2223 applicants.
I also will never draw a bull muzzle loader tag without preferenc points so apparently the only way to go muzzle loader is to go over the counter week 2 rifle for ayear or to to build preference points.
Is that correct?
Thanks in advance.
Just put 1st rifle as your first choice.you are correct that you would have had no chance of drawing last year, but you never know, someone may stay home this year. Then, you can either put 2nd rifle as your 2nd choice and they will send you a license, or just wait and buy one OTC.
