I see. For some reason I've been told it was for that application not the next years.Yes you can chose to buy the point at application time in the case where you don't draw.
I stand corrected. They changed a lot this last year. The point cost went up. The changed the points situation. You actually have to apply every other year now or lose your points(preference). Thanks for making me look the new rules up before it was too late.I see. For some reason I've been told it was for that application not the next years.
I guess it's the little note that say purchasing a point increases the likelihood of obtaining a license. They should change that little deceiving.
My bad lol disregard my initial comment then
No worries I didn't think I was loosing my mind but ya never know.I stand corrected. They changed a lot this last year. The point cost went up. The changed the points situation.

I was going to go to UT and CO but it looks like I will have to bow out of the CO draw. I don't want to lose my MT point. I am not happy about the change.No worries I didn't think I was loosing my mind but ya never know.
After seeing what we saw last year we are going to give Montana a break for a couple years I think.
Might call them to double check but you could just pay the 100 for just the point this year(not apply for a tag) and still keep your other state plans and then put in for general MT deer in 2024 and be GTGI was going to go to UT and CO but it looks like I will have to bow out of the CO draw. I don't want to lose my MT point. I am not happy about the change.
Yeah call em and get some clarification I thought it was apply for a point every other year but after reading this bullet point on their webpage I'm not sure that's the case. Just reading it makes it seem like you loose your points if you don't apply for a license every year.I will call but it looks like you must apply every other year which would mean I must apply this year.
This is where wording matters. This is what it has said for years. It means if you skip two years. Gohunts wording is different. I am going to call for clarification. MT website is not one of the better ones to use in my opinion.Yeah call em and get some clarification I thought it was apply for a point every other year but after reading this bullet point on their webpage I'm not sure that's the case.

"
- Accumulated preference points will be used during the current drawing whether you purchase an additional preference point or not. Any accumulated preference points are lost if the applicant does not apply for a nonresident combination license in consecutive years, or if you are successful at obtaining a combination license."

You must apply(points only does not count) every other year or you lose your points. When you check the box to buy the point it gets used in the current year.Ryan - curious what you found out from MT
