I am making a statement that I wish ND had an option to purchase a preference point and stay out of the lottery. If leadership at GNF chooses to explore that idea, yes it must go to the legislature. Its besides the point. I never said it would be implemented over night.And pluckem, I agree that its not perfect. There is no way to guarantee a successful lottery application, but I think the pref point route does allow for better planning in the long term when applying for specific units. For the most part you will know how many tags a certain unit will take +/- a point so you can start entering the draw then and know you have a decent shot at getting drawn. Unlike ND, where you may put in for 4c muley and never expect to get drawn until year 7, and then actually get pulled on year 1 or 2 and you may have other plans made for the fall.All i'm saying is I appreciate the system they have. Hasn't effected me in a negative way......yet. It would be great if we could all hunt WHERE we want, WHEN we want, for CHEAP....but opportunities are limited these days so $2000 spread over 7 years isnt that much of a sacrifice. I could think of much worse ways to blow that kind of cash. An elk hunt i'll remember forever is value in my eyes.</blockquote>
