In many states you earn or get a preference or bonus point each year that you do not draw a tag. In some of those states, only the people with the most preference points draw a tag.


I basically only put in for the drawings in my home state of Montana. I have the maximum number of bonus points for every species in the drawings. I have applied every year, and I haven't drawn a moose tag since 1988 or a bighorn ram tag since 1983 or a mountain goat tag since 1978.
