Eric Ford+FollowStill trying to figure out how hunting points workBeen trying to wrap my head around hunting point systems for months and finally starting to get it. Thought I'd share what I learned for other confused newbies: š° Bonus Points = Lottery Tickets More points = more entries. Even with 0 points you still have a chance (tiny, but still). š” Preference Points = Line System Highest points get tags first, then down the ladder until tags run out. Some states do BOTH depending on species. Others square your points (5 points = 25 entries!). Some reserve tags for zero-point hunters. The Kicker: Idaho just does pure lottery - everyone gets equal odds, no points needed. My advice? Every state is completely different. Pick your dream hunt location first, then master their specific system. Don't try to learn them all like I did - recipe for madness! #hunting #HuntingTips #HuntingPoints #PointSystems #Outdoors00Share
lolson+FollowIs it still worth chasing top-tier tags?Veterans, I'm having a crisis here. Sitting on 15 points for a dream tag but starting to think I should just burn them and hunt OTC every year instead. More time in the field vs. one premium hunt - what's your take? #hunting #OTCHunting #HuntingPoints11Share
