Xnt Report post Posted January 4, 2014 Hi all, New to the forum after lurking for way too long. Thanks for the community. I am applying for elk again this year. I have applied or four years in the past so this will be my fifth year in 2014. Does that mean I get a loyalty point for this years draw? I also have the hunter ed point. So if I get the loyalty point too that means I should go into the drawing with 7 points?? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I'm not sure if that point would count for this draw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daryl_s Report post Posted January 4, 2014 I believe you will go into this year's draw with the 5 bonus points and then if you do not get drawn you will go into next year's draw with 7 bonus points. I am in the exact same boat as you. Right now on the g&f website it says I have 5 bonus points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted January 4, 2014 you get your LP next year but as others have said, your 5 years of applying must be consecutive. If you miss a year, you start over. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kazpilot25 Report post Posted January 5, 2014 I asked game and fish and they said you get the bonus point on your fifth year, not the sixth year. So yes, it will apply this draw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flatlander Report post Posted January 5, 2014 Go check the G&F website. The number of BP it shows right now is what you will have in the draw. And honestly, calling G&F for an answer does not mean you will get the right answer. They are wrong frequently, especially about the draw. The way to really understand it is to read the How the Draw Works document on their website and then do the math to be sure your points and application are applied properly. There are few if any QA procedures or tests included in their process. The only way they know they did something incorrectly is if you tell them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
