Bonus Point Bummer

Recommended Posts

Knowing I had a full plate with elk hunts this year, I decided to apply for a bonus point only for deer. I'm saving up for a Kaibab hunt. At the time I had 4 bonus points, 2 for no draws, one for Hunter's Ed and one "Loyalty" point. When I checked my balance last week, I was down to 3. It turns out, I had left off my hunting license number on my app. So not only did I lose this year's bonus point for a rejected application, I also lost my loyalty bonus point.

 

I get that I screwed up an app, and so I can be denied my BP for this year, but I thought it was really sucky to lose my loyalty point as well. That'll take 5 more years to regain. My own fault, but I gotta vent anyway. Seems cheezy to take away the loyalty point over a application error.

 

When I called G&F to try to appeal it, the lady I talked to had the same thing happen to her, only for her it was loyalty points for sheep. I figured if she couldn't get a reversal, I had no chance.

Same thing happened to my brother a couple years ago. He has a ton of bonus points for antelope and decided to go for an archery tag. He was nearly guaranteed a tag with the points he had. My dad filled out his app and shorted the check by .25. He was obviously rejected and he did lose his loyalty point.

 

I joke around with him and tell him that's what he gets for not paying for his own tags!! :lol:
