The idaho fish and game swears that a preference point system does not increase your odds. Or is it fact that they are just to dam lazy or ignorant to incorperate it. After 17 years of not drawing a elk tag its beyound believe to me that bounus points would not increase your odds. With 17 years of bonus points added up you could of been in your area hunting two or three times. Come Idaho get of your dead ass join the rest of western states incorperate the preference system.
