Sorry I wasn't clear. I am talking about Colorado only. Normally, if you put in for a hunt and get drawn, your PREFERENCE points drop to 0. So if you have 10 points and draw a tag that only requires 2 points, you lose the other 8 points. However, this year Colorado is experimenting with letting people keep the remaining points in an attempt to lower the people with lots of points and since they changed the rules on us, to allow us to get maybe 2 hunts instead of one if we have lots of points.
So, if you have 10 points and draw a tag that takes 2 points, they will deduct the 2 points, plus 1 (cost of point banking) and you will have 7 points left for next year. If you draw a tag that takes 4 points, they take 4 plus 1 and you will have 5 left for next year.
This is currently on the books for this year only. They may or may not extend it to future years depending on how it changes things.
