Wis,
You must be refering to preference points. Preference points are used for general season hunts. Bonus points are for LE,OIL tags.
Preference points for general season hunts are needed in specific units. Especially southern Utah if you want a guranteed tag. I hunt up north so usually preference points aren't needed. It all depends on where you want to hunt.
Theodore Roosevelt's guidance concerning conservation...
"The movement for the conservation of wildlife, and the conservation of all our natural resources, are essentially democratic in spirit,purpose and method."
"We do not intend that our natural resources shall be exploited by the few against the interests of the majority. Our aim is to preserve our natural resources for the public as a whole, for the average man and the average woman who make up the body of the American people."
"It is in our power...to preserve game..and to give reasonable opportunities for the exercise of the skill of the hunter,whether he is or is not a man of means."
