If I am drawn for an elk, pronghorn antelope or bighorn sheep tag but do not purchase the tag, do I lose my preference points for that species?
No. If you do not purchase the tag, you will not lose your preference points for that species. Q: My application for a premium deer tag was received after the drawing deadline. I will not receive a preference point for this year. Will I lose my points from previous years because my application was not received on time? A: No. However, a hunter’s preference points are reduced to zero when they have not applied for five (5) consecutive years. Applying late is considered the same as not applying (Section 708, Title 14, of the CCR).
