These changes will help point creep, but they needed to be further reaching on taking peoples points IMHO.

These may help point creep in some areas, but for the top end units (assuming everyone understands the draw and doesn't burn 20 points on a second choice tag) you will be pulling half as many top point holders. Thus pushing the max points required for the preference draw higher, at twice the pace.

I don't oppose it, but there just isn't a good answer short of taking points if you acquire a tag (no matter the method of acquisition).

Exactly, preference points systems don't work. By going 50/50 preference/bonus, CPW is only going to make the creep worse on the preference side of the draw.

They will do this for a few years and then scrap preference points altogether when they figure this out.

Preference point systems work, you just have to have the points.

I like it the way it is. once I burn my 27 elk points you pull the rug out from under all those who've paid their dues. less max point tags means more point, creep end of story.

You have 27 elk points, so of course you want to see the preference systems remain.

With the preference tags cut to 50% of the total, you're about to get a big dose of the point creep that proves preference systems don't work (for anything but the lowest of demand hunts).

Hopefully you have a plan to settle for a lesser tag and get out of the game prior to the change to 50/50 preference/bonus.

How about having to pick between moose, sheep, and goat now that is a kick to the sack to a lot of people especially residents
