The area had a 100% success draw for 1st rifle in 2010. So I can't see wasting my 4pts on this area. So we pretty much decided on the OTC 2nd season. Now we can both still apply for a Pref. Pt as 1st choice, and under 2nd choice fill out the code for OTC 2nd rifle. Am I correct there?
Also we'd like a chance at a cow elk tag. That is a draw for 2nd rifle season. So if by chance all those tags are not filled, can we apply for any leftovers without me loosing my Pref. Pts.?
Lastly the $25 Pref. Pt. fee. Do we need to pay that as well seeing were still paying for a actual license?
Or if anyone has any other tricks to this, would you let me know!!
If you apply for a preference point for your 1st choice, and get your second choice you won't lose the points you have. You can only lose your points if you get your 1st choice.
Also, you won't lose your points by getting a leftover tag.
If you get a 2nd choice. That's all you pay for. You won't have to pay for the preference point you got for 1st choice.
The only time you pay for a preference point is if that's all you apply for. Never a smart thing to do, because there's so many ways around it.
