[QUOTE="Lukeandcod, post: 3074707, member: 107120"] I’m not really knowledgeable about MT but the preference points apply to only drawing the general elk/big game combo tag. Typically when you have 0 preference points you have roughly a 50% chance of drawing the tag. Usually very low chance of drawing with 1 point and 80%+ chance of drawing with 2 or more preference points. Drawing the general tag will allow you to hunt about half of the state in general units. That is all I’ve ever done. I’ve hunted DIY and had some success. Typically dealing with a fair amount of pressure but still it was fun going out west and hunting elk. The bonus points are what you use to draw the limited entry units. I’m accumulating some bonus points now and plan to apply for a limited unit in the future. According to Epic and Huntin Fool there are some fairly decent units that can be drawn with 5-10 bonus points but they can be drawn with less points, you just have to be lucky in the draw. I think decent bucks and bulls can be found anywhere in the state, especially on private lands, even in the general areas. I don’t know if that helps you any. I have never drawn a limited entry tag to know the difference. [/QUOTE]
